They came and installed 8 windows and 2 sliding-glass doors. The windows and doors are very nice. They open and close so easily. The installers were professional and friendly. I was expecting it to be messy, as construction is. It was minimal and they left everything very tidy. I'm glad I used State 48 Doors and Windows.

We chose 48 doors, first off due to Customer Service and price. The communication back and forth was quick and thorough. When we chose to go with 48 doors, their Supply Chain was better than any other and installation was complete in one day with no problems at all. I highly recommend Hunter and his team at 48 doors. Hands down.

How we grade

Satisfaction (54%) — Recency-weighted star average (2-year half-life), shrunk toward the category mean by review volume; the company’s own lifetime average as the prior; absolute: 4.0★ = 0, 5★ = 100.

Reliability (24%) — How rarely jobs go badly: share of 1–2★ reviews — 60% the last 24 months (or the 20 newest if fewer), 40% all-time; 0% = 100, 15%+ = 0; the category percentile can only raise it.

Craft & service (penalty, up to −10) — Google review highlights: Quality, Professionalism, Responsiveness, Punctuality — how rarely reviewers flag them as a negative, per review since highlights began; 0% = 100, 5%+ = 0. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in — clean highlights are the norm, not a bonus.

Value (14%) — Customers’ own price verdicts (Great / Reasonable vs Overpriced) and Value highlights; 65% absolute (all “reasonable” ≈ 80, “great” = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.

Momentum (penalty, up to −10) — Penalises only a real slide: last-12-month average below lifetime (−0.5★ = 0). Still 4.8★+ over the last year, or steady/improving = 100. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in.
