Improper installation of new window cost additional $5800

Improper installation of a larger new window costs us additional $5800. After inspection by our structural engineer, we were warned that the new window was not installed properly using wrong support (LVL and lentil), therefore, the second floor was at the risk of sinking and collapsing. LVL and Lintel used were significantly under weighed. GTA Direct Window and Doors didnt accept to pay to fix the problem.

GTA Direct Windows & Doors is a small family-owned company. No issues or concerns will be addressed after installation. Decisions and plans are made based on NO technical knowledge and no support available after the window is installed.
The new window initially cost us 11K but it was installed against the code underestimating the weight of the second floor. Wrong size LVL and lentil were installed (both significantly under weighed). After inspection by our structural engineer, I sent all the information to Alex but he held us responsible to pay for the proper re-installation of the window.
Alex asked for another $1,600 if we wanted the window to be re-installed properly using the right supports. When the installer came, he refused to follow the engineers plan unless for more money. We ended up paying $5800 extra to the installer. This wouldve been only a few hundreds more if Alex had done this right first time.
Alex did not accept any responsibility for the wrong installation of the new window. He blamed us for everything, and he did not compensate any part of re-installation we paid.

His lack of knowledge, professionalism and honesty is not acceptable.

Dear Mehnroonsh,

Thank you for your feedback.

Over the past three years, you have entrusted us with three projects, including the one mentioned above. Your loyalty to our company has always been greatly appreciated and valued. As always, our commitment to providing the highest quality of product, service, and installation remains our top priority.

When we were assigned the cut-out job for your home, we carried it out based on the information you provided. After completion and inspection, the job was deemed successful, and you expressed your satisfaction.

A month later, you informed me that your engineer had some concerns. I immediately acknowledged this and contacted your engineer. He explained that your home project had been extended, altering the structure of the existing wall where we had performed the cut-out and window installation. According to the new project requirements, additional support for the window was needed.

I promptly reached out to you to explain the engineer's request for adjusting the window support and informed you of the associated extra cost, which you agreed to. When my installer arrived to make the adjustments, your engineer requested additional materials not discussed previously. My installer accommodated this request, purchased the necessary materials, provided you with the receipts, and you paid for them. The engineer then confirmed that the job was officially completed.

I understand your frustration with the additional costs. However, I want to emphasize that we addressed your concerns as a priority, and the reinstallation was completed within days according to your new project requirements.

Our intention is always to deliver our services with sincerity, professionalism, and care towards our clients.

I hope this detailed response clarifies the situation. Please do not hesitate to reach out at any time.

Thank you for choosing and trusting GTA Direct Windows and Doors.

Best regards,

Window installation

Got an assortment of new windows from GTA Direct, instead of their competitors, for these main reasons:

- Very quick timeline from quote to installation
- Relatively inexpensive
- Many great online review ratings

Review after installation:

- The owner, Alex, responds very promptly to messages
- Alex took the time to answer all of my questions, as this was my first window installation. He also personally came by my home once the job was finished and showed me how to operate and maintain my new windows.
- The installers were respectful and cleaned up very well for themselves once they were done.

TL;DR:
- Quick turnaround time
- Inexpensive
- Great reviews
- Good communication
- Clean team

Front Door and Back Door replacement

My wife and I decided it was time to replace our front door and back sliding door. After tons of research and realizing we were looking at atleast $15k to $20k, a friend told us about her service and price from GTA Doors and Windows. We went to look at the front and back doors she had installed by GTA and we were sold right then and there. We contacted Alex. He replied within a half hour. Alex and his crew at GTA Doors were awesome right from the beginning. The 2 crew members arrived on time and started working immediately. They were friendly and focused. I am completely satisfied with the quality of their work. They were fast yet not rushed. There were very clean and efficient. I have referred GTA Doors and Windows to a friend of mine and happy to say he has contracted his work to Alex. Word of mouth goes a long way.! Cheers to Alex and his crew.

Window Replacement

I recently had the pleasure of working with Alex @ GTA DIRECT WINDOWS & DOORS INC for a particularly challenging project involving the replacement of a cracked window at my property. This was no ordinary task, as the window was 20 years old and had custom dimensions that required meticulous attention to detail.

The project entailed upgrading from a single to a double window setup, which was a specific request from my tenant. The team at GTA DIRECT WINDOWS & DOORS INC demonstrated exceptional skill and dedication throughout the process. They maintained open lines of communication, frequently updating me and clearly explaining the complexities involved. One of the major challenges was attempting to replace just the window pane initially and then finding a suitable color match for the aged window, which they handled with utmost professionalism.

The work was completed on schedule, and the craftsmanship was evident in the quality of the finished installation. My tenant was thrilled with the outcome, and I am deeply appreciative of the hard work and expertise exhibited by the team.

Thank you Alex @ GTA DIRECT WINDOWS & DOORS INC, for your excellent service and for going above and beyond to meet our needs. Your dedication to quality and customer satisfaction is truly commendable. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of window and door installations.

High Quality Product and Service

We recently replaced 5 big windows with GTA Direct and we were super happy throughout the entire process. We had gotten quotes from other companies but they tried to sell us stuff we didn't need (e.g. triple pane glass, replacing windows that didn't need replacing, etc.). Alex at GTA Direct was really honest with us and helped us make good decisions for our house. We really trusted him. The installers were very professional - they did an excellent job and left our house super clean. Our house was immediately much warmer and the new windows look great. We're so happy we chose GTA Direct and would absolutely recommend them to others.

Front door

We replaced our drafty double doors with a new extra wide door and a sidelite from GTA Direct in the fall of 2023. We knew what we wanted and got a few quotes but chose GTA Direct because in addition to being reasonably priced, they were professional/respectful, great communicators and patient as I had one last quote lined up. Both Alex the salesperson/owner and Alex the installer were wonderful to work with. We've received many compliments about the new door and recommended them to many friends.

Front door

This company has done my front door. They did it professionally and precisely. Their main highlight was their communication skills. They kept me informed throughout the process. The installation took 5-6 hours. Very hard working people.

Fiberglass door

I called them about 2 months ago to provide me with a consultation regarding my entrance door. Alex was very professional and informed of my 2 choices. I ended up choosing a fiberglass door with a multipoint lock. The installation was terrific. Despite the cold weather, they finished it in the same day. Side note: returning client
