Front Window & Sliding Door Replacement

While I waited a while for the actual install to happen, the installers who completed the project Scott and Jeff were fabulous. They were both extremely professional, cleaned up the site after both days at my home and overall did a great job with the install & construction that went along with the project.

New front door and shutters

Jason and Dave did very good work. Super clean and friendly.
You could tell that they knew their trade well. The door looks great and the guys were very responsive to any of the specific requests I had. Andrew (the salesman) was a very good communicator throughout our transaction.

Front door & Patio door installation

Dan and Jeff arrived on time, were friendly, polite, tidy, and seemed to install both doors well. Thanks guys!

There was a change/delay of installation by 10 days initially, due to the late arrival of one door, but now installed, both doors look nice and function well so far. We trust that the products and performance will be excellent (equal to the high cost and promise of high quality).

Windows and Front Door

Installation was done well and adequately cleaned the site afterwards. Products were produced as described, but order time and installation date was later than originally anticipated. Although price was agreed upon before and there were no additionally costs, it was likely more expensive than several competitors.

Approximate cost of services:
$9,900.00

French Door Fiasco

In the fall of 2016 we ordered a new French Door and 2 front bay windows from Centennial. We were "wowed" by their saleswoman who showed us how their technology is superior. There were also not a lot of negative reviews on line. We should have known better.

The installer that Centennial used is no longer working for the company (or so we are told). Both the front windows had major drafts, and the French Door actually had pieces missing from the install (thus, they said, explaining why the door leaked when there was any combination of rain and wind). They have been back to my house 3 times, and they still have not fixed the problem. There are currently puddles in my kitchen.

Their warranty is as good as the people who stand behind it. Getting through to the service department is almost impossible, and you are greeted by a voice message indicating that they will call you back in 24-48 hours (don't count on that). Contacting the website help desk can usually speed up the process, but then again...dont' count on it. They must be REALLY busy with repairs.

When managers call you they seem concerned, but they never follow up to see if you are happy.

We are now at the lawyer stage. I advise you find another company and save yourself the grief that we have experienced.

Front entry door and 5 bedroom windows

I found the service to be very good but slow to come out to do the initial install. They left a big mess after the install even though they are supposed to clean up. There were multiple cancellations when the new front door had to be replaced due to a defect but there were never any questions or hassles about it. It was disappointing that a new door would have issues so early on, but they honoured their warranty which was the reason we hired them in the first place. I am confident that despite some defects we made the right choice choosing Centennial windows.

Windows and doors

WORST customer service ever. Will NEVER buy from them again or recommend to friends. Product is good but getting assistance after installation is next to impossible. Tried several times and when they did come out they indicated they would return but never did and would not return calls.

Bad Company Ignored Call For Service to door.

The work they did appeared to be OK but after two years the door lock disintegrated. I tried several times to reach the original salesman but heard nothing back. Having no other choice, I called a local locksmith and had the lock cylinder replaced at a cost of just over $150

Approximate cost of services:
$2,607.00

Front Entry Door and sidelite

Door looks great from the sidewalk but is actually junk. Shortly after installation we realized it does not seal properly. Two service staff later with differing opinions, they think it is warped. Waiting for a replacement door but now it is 2 months later and we have discovered the weather stripping along the bottom is already torn. The door was overpriced and I would really just like my old ugly door back. I wish we had gone to Fersina windows again. Very disappointed ☹️
