In a 2025 Google review, a customer wrote that Bob and team did an excellent job installing their windows and sliding door, with great communication from start to finish. A 2024 review described Bob and his crew replacing 21 windows and a porch sliding door, and said Bob replaced all the old exterior trim and rotting sills with new PVC; that 2024 customer wrote that the crew was very clean and efficient. In a separate 2024 review, a customer who hired Bob Arthur to install new windows, fix windows a different company had not installed correctly and replace some siding wrote that he completed the project quicker than they expected. In a 2023 review, a customer wrote that Bob and his team replaced windows in their kitchen and basement, a job another company had turned down due to the scope of the work. Another 2023 review said Bob was informative during the consultation, the 10-window install came sooner than anticipated with very little disruption, and Bob made sure the customer knew how to operate the window. A 2022 customer from Medway, MA wrote that Bob was out the very next day to give an estimate for 9 windows, measured only once and had a quote back that same evening. A separate 2022 review said they were fairly priced, showed up when they said they would and gave a realistic idea of their project timeline.
Bob and team did an excellent job installing our windows and sliding door. Great communication from start to finish. Corteous, clean and quality work.
Bob and his team did a great job replacing our windows, doors, and siding. They were prompt, professional, and made sure everything was clean at the end. I would highly recommend.
No doubt 5/5 stars for Bob Arthur. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to do a home improvement project. We hired him to install new windows, fix previously-installed windows that were not done correctly (by a different company), and to replace some siding. He was very helpful and transparent during the estimate and proposal stage, worked on an excellent schedule, and completed the project quicker than we expected. The service, quality, and workmanship is unmatched. We will absolutely hire Bob again for our future projects.
We had Bob and his crew replace essentially every window in our home, 21 in total, and our porch sliding door. We are very pleased with the results. Bob is a straightforward and professional person who explained all the options for replacement or new construction windows and worked with us through all our many questions so that we felt completely informed. We never felt like we were talking to a salesman, he is simply a professional who knows windows. One thing that was very important to me was that the exterior of the house keep the same appearance. We didn’t want bulky aluminum wrapping over the existing trim. Bob assured us he only used high quality materials and replaced all our old exterior trim and rotting sills with new pvc. The crew was very clean and efficient. They kept a tidy workspace outside and left everything clean when working inside the house. After the work was completed there was a noticeable difference inside the house. Even though this was not an inexpensive job we are confident that the investment in the comfort and quality of our home is worth it. We wholeheartedly recommend Bob and his crew to our neighbors and he’ll be our first choice when we eventually need to replace our front door.
This was our first experience with Bob and I was extremely impressed with the work him and his crew did installing our replacement windows. I had multiple contractors come to look at the job and from that initial meeting I knew I would hire Bob to do the job. He was pleasant, answered all of my questions and went above and beyond to give me the confidence that the job would be done correctly. He listened intently especially when I explained our budget based on the timeline we expect to be in our home. His team of a couple guys worked well and were super efficient and clean when doing their work. I would not hesitate to reach out to Bob again in the future.
