Bud Harley

My name is Don Paschal. I am a retired City Manager from McKinney, TX and still do some consulting for several cities. Our family purchased a nice Condo in a good somewhat secluded area near Keystone about 6 miles from the Dillon / Silverthorne area. Since purchasing the condo we have remodeled about 80% of it and will be replacing all the windows in May, 2024. I have done considerable investigation into various windows for the mountains which is very different form the window replacements in our McKinney TX home we did in 2017. I was asked by Buddy @ CRW to advise you of my experiences. I have no interest in Buddy’s business and you could find out anything I am going to tell you from your own research. Most of the window reps have a long presentation designed to guide you to their product, many of which are fine quality….some not so much and with widely varying cost that may is generally more related to advertising promotions than quality. Unfortunately, many of sales people are gifted at making sales pitches, but could not answer tough questions and know little about the product manufacturing or installation process. Thus, listening to a lot of pitches and then researching details on my own, I was able to make my own decisions on product and chose a Marvin Window product with fiberglass frame and an acrylic coating to keep out moisture while limiting heat transfer through the frame. I chose a lower price Marvin because it still has the similar strength characteristics as much higher price (generally have more design and color options) but little or no additional quality. Beyond that, the glass is the next key component and Marvin, like most manufacturer offer high quality dual or triple pane glass with coatings designed to fit the climate. The coatings in the Mountains are very different form those in my Texas home. In the high altitude, it is good to allow heat in while blocking heat loss and simultaneously keep out ultraviolet sunlight to avoid fading of floor and furniture colors. Once I made this decision, I looked for the company with high quality installation. I found two that impressed me, one was the same contractor from Silverthorne we used for our remodel and the second was Buddy. Having made a choice of the specific window & manufacturer that (in my opinion) provided the best cost effective product option and a provider with quality installers….then I simply needed to secure prices. Both were close with Buddy winning out by about 7%. I felt in control of the process and in all honesty, both of the final providers I talked with and considered had the least dog and pony show….just facts and good info… When asked to send this, I thought Buddy could be taking a risk asking me and you may not want info from someone you have never met….however, I decided I wanted to prepare a brief summary of my experience while it is still fresh on my mind…hope I am not intruding on your time….tried to keep this brief. Additionally, you are welcome to contact me by email or my cell phone. Good luck with you project….and if I help you, all you owe me is NOTHING…but I would enjoy a tour of your remodeled project with Breck on about a 25 min drive from our Condo at Keystone.

Buddy treated us like family, no high pressure and was very knowledgeable in the window world. We are recommending Buddy and his company to all of our neighbors, friends and family. The whole experience was 5 star! We ended up replacing 45 windows and the difference is remarkable. We did our homework before spending this kind of money and in my opinion we could have not gotten a better deal and treated any better going anywhere else.

We just replaced 19 Windows in our home. The Marvin windows that Buddy recommended are fantastic. Buddy did a great job explaining the window efficiencies and how they would look once they were installed. Jeff and Cody did an outstanding job installing the windows and worked with us on scheduling the installation. Everything went smoothly and the installers cleaned up everything. I would highly recommend Colorado Rockies Windows and Doors!

Anita Ehler

This was our second set of replacement windows with Buddy. Great customer service and communication. The installation team of Jeff and Cody are amazing, professional and friendly. You couldn't ask for a better experience. And now we have amazing views with the knowledge that we are more energy efficient and will be comfortable on those cold Colorado winter days.

I own two mountain properties and one front range property in Colorado and I highly recommend working with Colorado Rockies Windows and Doors. They did a fantastic job. They were very responsive and very professional as well.

Courtney Heide

Early spring we had our whole house transformed by Colorado Rockies Windows and Doors. We could not be more delighted! Working with an old- school, family-run business was SO refreshing after using big businesses/corporations for other past home improvement projects. We have never been treated so well; it felt like we were part of their family! Thank you! Thank you!

Kristina Palmier

This company was a joy to work with. It is always a difficult task to trust a company with work on your home and they delivered ten fold. Very professional, easy to work with and an excellent finished product. Will definitely recommend to family and friends!

We replaced 46 windows & 2 doors with Marvin Ultimate windows on a very difficult site overhanging a cliff. We needed to use pump-jack scaffolding and a 75 ton crane because of the size of some of the windows and the difficulty of access, and despite the real installation challenges, the installation team did a great job and always maintained a super positive can-do attitude. Also, the initial recommendations by Buddy were spot on in terms of new configurations, he really knows his stuff. I highly recommend this team, they are thoroughly professional and provided a quality installation at fair value and with great products.
