Can't beat that smaller business quality!
We moved into our house in 2016 and have had many door to door salesmen attempt to grab our pockets. A few years ago, Sidex came knocking and at the time windows weren't on our "to-do" list, however we entertained the free estimate for future planning. The price seemed astronomical, however it was for all 22 windows and we had no other bid to compare it to, so although it seemed high, it was a missed opportunity; windows only increase in price. Fast forward to this year, our old windows hadn't healed by themselves. Most of the windows didnt open, had broken locks or didnt stay closed/would fall from the top down. We knew it was time. A big window chain came knocking (you know the one) and we figured it was time to get serious. Their price was SO FAR above from the price we had received from Sidex just a few years prior. We thought we must be doomed to live with the broken windows a few years longer. That is until Sidex gave us a second, unprompted, knock. And we welcomed them in for the second time. Their number was higher than the last time, however with inflation this was something we anticipated AND it was half the price of the big windows chain (you know the one).
The only negative was, with any construction, there's always tiny bits of scrap leftover. Our house has rocks all around the outer perimeter, and while doing the spring gardening we did see slivers of aluminum wrapping sprinkled here and there. That is a drop in the bucket compared to how happy we are with the windows. Our house feels so much more secure being able to lock and double lock. I'm not scared to open the windows anymore, for fear that they won't ever properly close again. I would absolutely recommend Sidex for your project, should you be able to afford the help of a qualified hired hand 😊
