Report
I want to say that I had windows replaced and they have made a difference in my home the rooms are cooler during the summer and the warm in the winter. The guys came out removed the old windows and then replaced them with the new ones and cleaned up as if they had never been there. I also have recommended them to friends and family. Oh and affordable and beautiful too!

Report
A DC Taylor employee parked his company truck next to my Camry and broke off my mirror. I contacted company rep Wielka Cosgrove and sent her the repair estimate she requested so they could pay for damages. They balked when they got the bill of less than a couple hundred bucks. Their motto is 'The Responsible Company'. Imagine if you had a major dispute with this contractor.
