He understood exactly what we needed and took the time to explain each step of the process. Communication was excellent, the price was within our budget, and the turnaround time was great. Once installed, the cover looked great and felt solid and sturdy. George also thoroughly explained how to remove it in an emergency and provided clear instructions for cleaning and maintenance.
We couldn’t be happier with the service and the finished product. Excellent work and highly recommended!

Had window well covers installed last week by George's Window Well Covers company at our home in Guelph, and we're so happy with them.  We had all 4 of our basement windows done and the covers fit great and look awesome.  They're easy to flip up for cleaning and they keep debris, animals, & our kids from falling in.  George was great at keeping us updated with our order and came right on schedule for the installation, which only took about 30 min.  Very pleased with the results and would definitely work with this company again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The product is great. It costs more than the big box store covers, but when you see what you get it makes sense. 3mm polycarbonate plastic that hinges open to clean vs. thin plastic you screw to the foundation. I original pùrchased a big box store set and 1 cracked on the ride home. The custom ones from Window Well Covers Canada are SOLID.  My first order was for 3 and I just ordered 2 more.

We agreed on the cost and scheduled the installation. George was on time, professional and knowledgeable. His work is excellent and I highly recommend him if you need a professional window well cover installed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Homestars. Window Well Covers
Had a really great experience working with George. It was a fairly simple process where George provided me with guidelines on how to take accurate measurements of the window wells, which he then built and installed for the quoted cost. We had 4 window wells that needed to be covered. Two of them were fairly standard, one had a pipe in the way and one was quite large. George went out of his way to provide a fit for purpose solution for the window well with the pipe and also added additional stability to the large cover so that it had more structural integrity. On top of all this, they provide a 15 year warranty which is amazing. This is a much better solution that the crappy but expensive covers you get at hardware store.

My wife and I are super happy with the look and quality of the custom products made and installed by George at Windowellcovers.ca. They both perfectly fit over our three window wells and are made of a special, strong polycarbonate material that will last and look good for many, many years. The company's principal George was a pleasure to deal with; he is a very sincere, knowledgeable, and capable professional who we found to be very trustworthy and reliable. We recommended him and his products without any reservations.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Homestars. Four covers for window wells
I originally received a quote close to the start of the pandemic. Materials were in short supply because polycarbonate was in high demand, but George provided - free-of-charge - a short-term fix which really helped. And when I contacted him later to get covers installed, he stuck to original quote and they turned out great. They are solid and well-fitted...and look very nice.

This is the second house that George and his team have replaced old discoloured well covers for us and both times its been a pleasure working with him. The new covers look great and I have no hesitation in recommending George and his team to homeowners looking to replace old, discoloured, scratched covers !

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Homestars. Sleek (and practically invisible) window well covers
George provided great customer service from start to finish. These window well covers are streamlined and unique and were the ideal finishing touch to my new landscaping project. They're practically invisible and they keep debris and animals out of my window wells which is a real plus. Due to a shortage in material, my job was slightly delayed, but George kept me in the loop with updated delivery times. I had several window wells done and he tested the fit on a couple of window wells first, to ensure the over all job would be top-notch. He was professional and thorough and really cared about my home which I appreciated. He also answered all of my questions. Thanks George for a job well done!

We love our new window well covers in the backyard. Such a huge improvement on the cheap plastic covers that were there before! George was very friendly and he actually contacted us to let us know he was refunding a portion of the installation fee as he realized it hadn't taken him as long as he had expected. We would definitely highly recommend this company!

George was professional and courteous. The clear window wells were installed in one day and he followed up on the quality of work, making sure that everything was satisfactory. The customization of my window wells were executed very well as I have many turns and bends in my window wells. He was a bit slow at starting the job because he was extremely busy this past summer, but A+ otherwise.

George was excellent! I had one window well that animals were getting into. George gave me an estimate within 24 hours of my request. After I provided a deposit, he came out and checked the window well. He provided me a sketch of what it was going to look like. Once I gave the go ahead it was made and installed quickly. I would recommend George to everyone!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Houzz. We had George install two window well covers for our house. Product looks sleek, like a sheet of molded glass. No other product locally compares. Definitely a better product than what you will find at a local hardware store. Install went well, happy with purchase, would buy again. 15 year warranty, only time will tell how they hold up, but it looks like an excellent overall product. The covers will work well with keeping animals out, and people from mistakenly falling in. Thanks George, solid product. Have already recommended product to others.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Houzz. I hired Window Well Covers to make me 4-well covers. Instructions for measuring were easy to understand. They were delivered when promised. When I received them two were too short. I contacted George the owner and he immediately took ownership of the problem. No excuses or trying to blame me. They fixed the problem and delivered the two new covers ASAP. Since I purchased online I was worried how they would handle the issue and I couldn't have been happier.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Houzz. I found this company on houzz and my wife and I have been very pleased with the product and most of all the service. We extended two windows in our basement to 76" wide to allow light and unfortunately water was also filling the window well. This product keeps the well dry and doesn't prevent the sun from coming threw. All in all this product does exactly what its meant to do and it priced fair.

What a great job and fantastic product. I have other contractors, friends and neighbours asking about them. These are, by far the nicest window well covers onywhere around here. Nothing we have seen even comes close to these. George is a friendly guy and gets the job done for a price that is reasonable based on the quality and aesthetics of the covers. Thank you George

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Houzz. After looking around and comparing the cost and sizes of window well covers at the big box stores, we put together a purchase for custom covers involving 4 homes in a new subdivision in Colingwood Ontario with 16 egress window well covers in total! Despite all homeowners thinking that our window wells were the same size, there were some differences in sizes and differences in grading, but George came and measured each window for us and installed them beautifully. The product- Lexan - is guaranteed for 10 years and in my view, far exceeds the quality of the big box stores. George was professional from the beginning of the process to the end. All windows were delivered and installed on budget and all homeowners are pleased with result. Thanks George for a quality product and an excellent customer experience. We definitely recommend this product by Window Wells.ca and have no hesitation in recommending George.
