What It Takes to Earn 5-Star Reviews — from Start to Finish!

At Schmidt Siding & Window, we know 5-star reviews don't come easily. It’s not just about the final look of the project—it’s about every step in the journey. From your very first conversation with us to long after installation day, we’re focused on one thing: exceeding expectations and creating customers for life.

So what does it take to earn those 5 stars? Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the proven process our customers experience, one that’s been refined over 75+ years and backed by countless happy homeowners.


1. Getting to Know You

It all starts with a conversation.
We want to understand your why - Whether it’s curb appeal, energy efficiency, aging materials, or just time for a change. During this step, we:

  • Introduce who we are and what makes us different (like our no-subcontractor guarantee!)
  • Listen to your project goals and vision
  • Discuss your budget, timeline, and must-haves

This is where trust begins, and we don’t take that lightly.


2. Assessing Your Home

Next, we visit your property to take a closer look. Every home is different, and we want to be sure we recommend the right solutions, not just what’s easy or common.

  • The current condition of your siding, windows, or doors
  • Any structural or environmental factors
  • Style and layout considerations

This step allows us to design a project plan tailored specifically to your home.


3. Designing the Right Solution

Once we’ve seen your space and understand your needs, we’ll present a project plan that brings it all together.

  • Show you design and material options
  • Explain the installation process
  • Walk through pricing and timelines
  • Formalize a detailed job contract if you’re ready to move forward

No pressure. Just clear, professional guidance so you can make the best decision.


4. Setting Expectations

After the contract is signed, the behind-the-scenes magic begins.

  • Review your estimated project timeline
  • Share what comes next in the process
  • Schedule a technical measure to ensure everything fits just right
  • Mobilize our teams and resources to prep for installation

This is also when we open the door for ongoing communication—and keep it open throughout the job.


5. Keeping You Informed

Things change. Materials ship early, or weather causes a delay. No matter what happens, we’re going to keep you in the loop.

  • If any project changes come up, we talk through them with you
  • You’ll receive updates along the way so you’re never left wondering
  • We always communicate clearly, honestly, and proactively

Our goal? No surprises, no confusion, and no stress.


6. Expert Installation

Then it’s showtime.

  • We schedule and confirm your installation date
  • Our in-house crews (not subcontractors!) show up ready
  • We keep the jobsite clean and safe
  • You’ll get a product demonstration so you know exactly how everything works

And yes—it’ll look even better than you imagined.


7. We’re Still Here

Even after the last nail is in and the last window is cleaned, our work isn’t done.

  • We reach out to make sure you’re satisfied
  • We ask for your honest feedback and take it to heart
  • We stay available for product questions, warranty claims, or service needs

Need us down the road? We’re just a call away.


Why It Matters

This process isn’t just a checklist—it’s a commitment.
A 5-star experience means you feel:

  • Heard and understood
  • Confident in your investment
  • Proud of your home
  • Taken care of from start to finish

That’s what we’re here for.
