  • I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of our window project. Scherer Window and Door Consultants (SWDC) did a great job, start to finish. Their sale rep, Gary was personable and super knowledgeable. I’m afraid we bothered him more than needed. No problem. Not only did he take time to understand what we were looking for, he also hooked us up with some upgrades for our existing Marvin Windows. Not only did they do a great job of installing the windows, but cleaned up afterwards. Awesome job by that bunch. Professionals at every step, and not just sales, installation, finishing. There were several people I never met that probable have a lot to do with this successful project. Got lots of emails, mailings, calls and reminders from the office staff. Their communications over the course of the project was tremendous. Thanks Scherer Window and Door Consultants for taking care of our family’s home.

  • I had a very positive experience replacing 3 basement windows and a problem kitchen window. The salesman was terrific. He gave me a number of different options with no high pressure sales as did other companies who gave me quotes. I was pleased with the entire process from start to completion and have already recommended the company to others.

The windows are high quality and the workmanship of the windows and install brings a new level of beauty to our home. I highly recommend Scherer Window and Door!!

  • Both my wife and I are very happy with our experience with you guys. Dave was a great salesman — no pressure, straight forward, helpful, and went out of his way to fix an error that occurred with 2 of the windows. Communication with the office has been great, and the actual work on the windows was awesome — fast, quality, nice, communicative workers. I wish all interactions with contractors were like this.

  • From the first step of contacting Scherer for an estimate I was very impressed. Tracy was amazing and the process when fast and painless. I had a quote within hours of him visiting our home. I contacted him and set up a time to see the product at the showroom and signed a contract. Within one day I was contacted for scheduling and this process started just before Thanksgiving. I anticipated a February installation due to holiday schedules and was very surprised to be scheduled the first week in January. The installation was completed yesterday and the new product is amazing. The installation crew was awesome. So considerate and caring. I am so impressed with the entire project.

  • We had Scherer replace six large three season windows, and we were very happy with the entire process and product. We received estimates from three companies and Scherer not only had the best price but also had the product we wanted to match our existing windows in that room.. The entire process was well managed. We were kept apprised of all delivery and installation dates, and the installers were very knowledgeable. They exhibited a high concern for quality installation. We would definitely choose Scherer again for any future projects.

Not only did the sales rep (Chris) visit us multiple times to confirm the windows would work for us, he offered suggestions to achieve the view goals that we had with the windows. Installation was professional and timely and the crews clean up well once completed.

  • We needed basement windows replaced and a kitchen window fixed that had previously been replaced by another company. The salesman was very knowledgeable and professional. There was no high pressure sales pitch or price that was good for only 2 hours! The installers came, replaced the windows, cleaned up their mess, and our windows have been performing flawlessly. We couldn’t have been happier and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
