"I love my new Windows! Gary, window consultant gave a great in home consultation, did demos with actual windows and answered all questions and was thorough. Months later windows are finally installed and they are beautiful and changed the look of my entire house. I highly recommend Brothers if you need new windows and I’m so glad I found them in the Angi app. I had a number of different sub contractors in my house through Lowe’s and other companies I found through google that were quoting me insanely high prices after walking through my house , spending 3 minutes before they gave me my insane estimate. Brothers does windows only, has been in business for 30 years (my window installer, Wes has been with the company for 25 years, so that speaks volumes) so they know what they’re doing and got the windows installed so quickly, they were done in a day. If I ever need new windows again, I’d go with them again and will recommend to any friends and neighbors as well."
"Great experience getting windows installed by American Home Renewal. First contact was 6 months ago. I slept on it for a few months and got some other quotes. Chris was friendly as a sales man, Gave me a competitive price and some pointers on fiberglass vs vinyl. I went with Vinyl. Alex was the installer and was very detailed in explaining the install process. He explained everything in detail to me and showed me tips on how to do a proper install. We did a mix of new construction and retrofit. we added window casings and he was very thorough and asked multiple questions on how I wanted the casings to look. only hiccup was one of the windows was ordered wrong. we couldn't determine where the mixup occurred but they immediately took full ownership and reordered me a new window to the specs I wanted. I would highly recommend."
"Great experience. Found AMG doors and windows online and they reached out and were able to clearly and professionally explain the step by step process of measuring the door ordering and the installation process. They were hassle free and was able to give me and over the phone quote for my new French doors. The install only took them 4 hours and they keep the space clean and were very professional."
"They did an excellent job and I highly recommend them for window replacement work. Gary Chern provided a very clear presentation of the company and the windows they offer with various options. Larry Khimich was very communicative with the details of the scope of work and their crew did an excellent job. They damaged one lawn decoration that we discovered later and they provided payment for replacement of the decoration. Mistakes happen and they made good on the damage. They did the work in October and it is now the end of March. No problems and we are very happy with our new windows!"
"I would highly recommend Derek and Vivid Screens. He is responsive, knowledgeable, and will quote a fair and reasonable cost. I needed 3 living room window screens, and the infrastructure style/housing age made installation tricky. Derek took extreme care and effort to measure, cut, and shape the window screens and made it work beautifully. Thank you!"
"The installers were great. The salesperson made promises that he did not keep and he missed a window. When the person came to measure he also didn’t catch that I was having all my windows done except one. The windows look great. The response when I notified the co that one window was missed was very fast but added to my cost."
"I couldn't have asked for a more skilled or thoughtful professional than Mark. We have needed these difficult and pesky repairs done for too long and he managed them all beautifully even going above and beyond to see that all was done as it was his own house.
He was prompt, easy to talk with and needed no supervision. We could not have asked for a better experience from start to finish.
Mark seamlessly plugged some nail holes in our gutters, installed a deadbolt on a door as well as making completely sure the door closed well which required a few extra adjustments, repaired and re-installed a very difficult sliding screen door, re-screened a window, installed a ceiling vent cover and made beautiful adjustments to a failing fence gate even installing an extra piece of wood to keep the stress off the lock itself (... a beautiful and inventive solution) which will keep the gate working well (which it never has) for years to come. He had to make a Home Depot run but still finished by the end of the day and was as pleasant after all that as he was at the start of the day. We are both quite pleased. Dawson dropped by to check in during the day which was very much appreciated and let us know we mattered, which is really rather nice! "

The visibility through tinted house windows depends on the lighting. During the day, when it is brighter outside, privacy film prevents people from seeing into your home. However, this effect reverses at night. If you have lights on inside, it becomes brighter indoors than outdoors, allowing people to see inside. To optimize privacy, you can select from various shades of film, ranging from lighter to darker, which affects how much is visible from the outside.
Glass block windows offer several unique benefits over traditional windows, and they create a much more unique look. These specialty windows offer added privacy while allowing natural light into the space, which is why they’re a popular choice for bathroom features. They also provide increased security as glass blocks do not open unlike traditional windows. Plus, they provide increased energy efficiency, lowering energy costs and preventing drafts.
Generally speaking, you should clean your windows and any associated fixtures and treatments every six months. Otherwise, clean them as needed to keep everything running smoothly. If you live in a part of the country with especially hard water, you may have to clean them three or four times per year, and the same goes for areas where insects, pollen, dirt, and other debris can soil your windows and potentially cause issues with the moving parts.
Casement windows can either be left or right opening, and every window manufacturer makes both so that you can choose which works best for your space. In many cases, you’ll want one left-opening and one right-opening casement window to sit on either side of a picture window or to act as the side panels in a bay window. Just remember that the direction is described from the curb. An FCL (from the curb left) hinges out to the left if you’re looking at the exterior of your home, and an FCR (from the curb right) hinges out to the right.
Look for stickers at the top or inside of the frame, like in the tracks when the window is open. Some brands also stamp their name onto the frame itself or place it between the panes of glass, although this is less common. If you can’t find the info on the window itself, consider asking your neighbors or HOA.
