Verified record
Security Lifetime Window Replacements is a long-running Lynn, MA outfit — its own site traces the name back to 1938 as a storm-window manufacturer, now installing vinyl replacement windows, storm doors, siding and gutters around the North Shore. Its written record is short: four reviews spanning 2002 to 2023, and three of the last four are seriously negative. In a 2023 review, a customer described a cracked window pane that went unreplaced for seven months of "runaround," culminating in catching the installer using their building's dumpster for his own trash instead of the promised repair visit. Two 2021 reviews describe similar breakdowns — a $100 deposit taken for a window that then took months and multiple unreturned calls to resolve, and a bay window installation left leaking and sagging with no response to follow-up calls. The one older account, a 2002 Angi review, described a minor installation issue on storm windows that the company fixed promptly once reported — a different picture, but from more than two decades ago. Its BBB page lists a Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration number, though that listing hasn't been independently verified against the state registry, and the business itself isn't BBB-accredited. Given how recent and consistent the negative accounts are, get everything — timeline, deposit terms, and a direct number for follow-up — in writing before paying anything upfront.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Security Lifetime Window Replacements. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.

One of the window panes cracked not even 2 months after he installed it. He said that he would replace it because it likely had a crack at install. He has been giving me the runaround for 7 months. Today, I happen to see him show up at my building and I thought he was finally here to replace the glass. Turns out he was dumping his own trash in our building's dumpster! He said "I didn't think you all would mind." WHAT?! To top it off, he did not have my window glass and said he'd forgotten. Completely unprofessional and untrustworthy.
Very unprofessional. Tried to rob my father of $100 deposit for a window he asked for TWO MONTHS AGO. Said it would take 3-4 weeks and I had to call him off of my phone number so that he would answer because he wouldn’t return my fathers calls. Very rude when answering and tried to play it off saying it would be here next week. Like we could have a whole in our house for 2 months. Guy clearly doesn’t care about the well-being of his customers. He clearly tried to take advantage of my father who was about to let it go because he felt defeated. DONT BRING YOUR BUSINESS HERE
Worst job I ever experienced. Windows leaking, bay window sagging. Bruce never returned any of my calls in regards to any of the issues. I will not and would not recommend them to anyone.
This contractor installed storm windows for the property developer before I bought the property. That they were cheap windows was not Security's fault but the developer's choice. One of the windows was not properly installed. I did not notice this until 6 months later when winter came. I called to have it repaired. They fixed it by installing a wood strip. They could have blown me off but didn't.
