Old West Windows And Doors Ltd No Longer In Business

For me - Old west did an excellent job.

For my 75+ year old parents, Rick Whatley took a $12000 deposit to replace their windows AND CLOSED UP SHOP!!!

UNSECURED INVESTORS???? How about trusting customers without much money and old windows???

After two years we have yet to have our project completed. OWWD was initially excellent to deal with, however, this quickly took a downturn when it came time to install our windows and doors. After two rounds of door orders, we still do not have what we ordered, we are missing parts and the solution to fix a mistake with our garage windows was left partially complete. For the past two years I have heard nothing but excuses, blaming the door manufacturer, and taking absolutely zero responsibility to correct the situation. Every week I would receive "updates" saying that an appointment would be scheduled only to hear back that there was a delay. The latest episode was installing grills on our garage windows - the guys showed up and did not have enough material to complete the job (which shouldn't have been necessary had the correct windows been delivered in the first place) and quite surprising given that measurements could have been taken prior to arrival to ensure they had what they needed. The job was partially completed and we have one window half covered in grills - they never returned to reschedule once the weather warmed. I now understand why - OWWD has changed names - how convenient. Our front door seal also lets in a significant draft in the winter and I had asked to have it dealt with, but they were "waiting until they came to complete outstanding work" so we spent the whole winter dealing with this. They care more about what is convenient for them than righting a wrong. Dealing with them is an exercise in frustration and infuriating. @Rick and Shauna - you NEVER emailed me or called to deal with us as customers with an outstanding work order. It has been two years since we placed our order, monthly emails and numerous phone calls. You state on other reviews that people should contact you, however, your phone number is out of service, there are no email addresses to contact you, so how would you like people to get in touch with you exactly??? On a final note, how does your conscience let you sleep at night? Great sales pitch, poor follow-through and if anything goes wrong, zero customer service.

Ordered a door on January 10th and was told it would take three months. Two weeks ago I emailed and called and received no response to these contacts or subsequent emails. There was no contact from the company regarding their impending closure (unlike other experiences on this post). If the company is indeed attempting to complete outstanding installations, we would appreciate a contact.

I placed an order with Old West on December 14th, 2017, and paid a 50% deposit. I was told it would take a few weeks for the windows to be manufactured and the install and job completion would be mid-February 2018.

This date passed, without any word from the company. I called them for an update, and was informed they didn't have any information but would contact me by the end of the week. This happened every single week. I would call on Monday, and be told to expect an update by Friday. This went on for 6 weeks.

I finally received an email on March 20th, informing me that the company was closing. I responded immediately and requested my deposit back. It has been three weeks since then, and zero response or acknowledgement from the company.

To be run around for six weeks and promised that updates were coming and things were just delayed was bad enough. Even more shameful is the company now pretending that they haven't run off with our money. Stop claiming that you contacted your customers and are trying to rectify the situation when I have been blatantly ignored for 3 weeks, while thousands of dollars of my money sit in your bank account.

After a contract was signed and deposit paid, my next communication from them was a letter saying my contract was cancelled-two weeks before installation. No mention of when my deposit would be returned, no reply to my email in a week, no call back from leaving messages with the call centre after days of waiting-who confusingly claim that all contracts are being completed. This is a mess, and I am getting a feeling that I need to retain a lawyer.

We have used OWWD SEVERAL times in the past at various houses and recommended to many friends. UNFORTUNATELY, OWWD has ceased operations and has taken my money with it. It took 4 months and a tremendous amount of aggravation to get a straight answer from them.

Compared 3 companies per ratings and price, so glad I found Old West Windows. Very professional estimate and Kyle and crew completed a top notch job of installation quickly and neatly. Very little disruption to homeowner and cleaned up thoroughly when finished. I would highly recommend this fine company to everyone who wants great friendly service and a very satisfactory job completion. My house is warmer and much more attractive with the new additions. A real bonus with some of the uncaring and shabby workmanship taking place in today's market.

I waited to write this review to see how the windows & workmanship would be after 1 year of use. The windows are triple low E glazing and frames are fibreglass. Well on a rating of 10, I give 10 for the installation, followup and the product. I would recommend these people to anyone who wants good service who back their products.

After a competitive evaluation of three potential suppliers we chose Old West Windows and Doors to replace 11 windows in our home.
We were very impressed with Rick's knowledge and experience as well as the excellent reviews of his company.
Kyle and his crew of installers did a first class professional and timely job taking care to minimize any disruptions as well as finishing up with an excellent clean up.
We are very satisfied with the installation ,and are happy to fully recommend Old West as a result of our experience.
