Job Pictures:
So far, these are mostly some of our old jobs from before 2004. We haven't taken many pictures since then (sorry). The oldest ones (1993) are at the bottom, and the "newest" ones (in 2003) are at the top. Now that we have this website, maybe we'll have to run around and catch up on getting pictures of the others we've done since then... someday.

This is the point in our company history when we began contracting our own jobs. The pictures above here (1998 and afterward) show some of the projects we've done ourselves as the general contractor. This means that we provide the windows from manufacturers of our choosing, employ our own installation methods, and measure the windows ourselves as we see fit. In contrast, the pictures below are just a few of the jobs we performed in our best capacity as sub-contractors (1993 to 1998), meaning that someone else chose the installation methods, did the measuring, and supplied the windows & caulk. There should be about 75 to 80 apartment buildings that we did during that time, but don't have many pictures. We were subcontractors at the time, and didn't keep good track of where we did our work. We also did about 700 single-family residential homes sometime between early 2004 and mid-2006. |

These bottom pictures are among our oldest jobs in 1993. Keep in mind that we were subcontractors when we first started out, which means having very little control over the work that we performed. The installation methods were chosen by others, the caulk & hardware were supplied by others, and the windows were measured by others. This isn't exactly the best recipe for what we consider a high-quality job.
In other words, for many reasons, our older jobs don't reflect the window replacements we perform today. In 1998 we began contracting our own jobs, having control over all of the important aspects of our work. This was a major breakthrough in the quality of the jobs we did. Also, products have improved over the years, and with the same all-family crew since 1993, we've only continued to learn and improve on our skills as well.
Sometimes customers jot down
something nice for us on the back of an envelope, or in a short
letter. Since folks are more likely to complain about bad
contractors
than they are to applaud skilled ones, we feel that each of the
following should cancel out at least ten
complaints -if we were to get them. Either way, I think we're doing
alright...
Thank you! Great Job! -Cheers,
Candice C.

Thank you so much for my windows! During the freeze we had last month - no ice inside!
-Laura S.
January 24, 2008
Our response: This isn't really
saying much about us. It's more of a testimony
of how good some of our customers
are. No ice inside the new windows,
and you're already happy!
BTW, your guys were great. Very fast, efficient, keen, competent, and friendly. And they listen to good radio too.

Note: The "good radio"
happens to be AM 770 KTTH. Our radio doubles as a battery charger, and
the batteries just don't charge correctly unless it's on the right radio station.
That's our story, and we're sticking to it.
Great Job!!

When I got back from the duplex this afternoon, the following joke was in my email...
Last year I repaced several
windows in my house. They were
the expensive double-insulated kind. This week I got a call from the
contractor complaining that I had failed to pay him. Boy oh boy, did we
go round and round. I told him that even though I am a senior citizen
and used to be a blonde, I am not that stupid! I reminded him
what his salesman told me last year: "In one year they will pay for
themselves."
What good
timing! I guess you're out of luck now, but at least you got a down
payment for this job! Thanks
for the efficient and rapid job, and the careful cleanup afterwards.-Bob & Carol L.

To whom it may concern:
I was having a problem with a patio door molding. I turned to the yellow pages and the first company I got ahold of was Cutting Edge Windows. They did not know me, had never done any work for me, but were ever so willing to help me. I sent John a sample of the molding. The next day I received a phone call from him that the part was on its way. He did not charge me for the part or the shipping. Now that's what I call old fashioned service. I don't even know if he is an employee or owner, but that doesn't matter, he still went the extra mile. If that is the kind of service this company gives, I will tell everyone I know to take their business to them. Display this letter so that your customers can see what kind of people you are, you are rare. We have several businesses and we know what good service is. Thanks a bunch.

Our response: Actually it was kind
of lucky timing, because sometimes we're slooooow when it comes to
non-emergency pieces & parts like that. As far as it being free,
consider it cheap advertising. You wrote this nice ad for us, and all
we did was get you a small plastic part.
To the crew at CuttingEdge,
We would like to take this time to mention how much we appreciated the work you have done installing the windows here. You were always willing to take the time to answer our questions, get back to us timely when called, worked with us and our tenants schedules, and to help offer alternatives for the finished look we hoped to achieve. We liked the fact that when bidding our job, you were also involved with the installation and could offer information based on actual experience. We wish your continuing success and will mention your name whenever asked about window installation and replacements. Sincerely,
Bruce & Liz M.
