"Computer did the "gotta send info to Microsoft" but when tried to reboot it ran through automatic repair without success. I did all the alternative without any success. He came and picked up the hard drive on Tuesday and returned it on Saturday. Fortunately he was able to "restore" without any data loss. Very happy with outcome."
"We recently had Mega Power Electric Inc install a solar system and panels. The President and provided excellent communication all the way through the process. He even met with us after installation to explain the almost incomprehensible PG&E bill. Although not the least expensive bid, his was competitive and I felt he was as interested in educating me about solar and the various types of panels and inverter systems as he was in selling a system. He demonstrated how the array of panels would meet our energy needs and as opposed to some of the other companies, wasn't selling us more than we needed. We are very satisfied with our solar system and I highly recommended Mega Power Electric Inc."
"Pro Movers was an excellent choice. They deserve 10 stars. Moving is a very stressful ordeal, but Pro Movers took away the stress. I was doing a local move from a 4bdr 2 story house into a storage unit. They were affordable, on time, very professional, responsive to my needs, and handled my furniture with care throughout the entire moving process. After the job was completed, the owner followed up to ensure that I was satisfied with the move and the movers. If you want the job done right, CALL PRO MOVERS!!"
"Outstanding customer service and expert installation. Two man install team took their time and stayed on site for 11 hours completing my whole house (10 window) install. Windows are top-notch quality and are living up to the three hour presentation given by their former general manager. Would definitely recommend Anlin Del Mar windows and Northwest Exteriors to install them."
"This company had done My sliding glass doors and a few windows. Great prices and the manager is very nice and understanding . He and his team were always on time, they were fast, and did an awesome job. I would highly recommend this company."
"I like the quality of the new windows. The installers were very nice and did an excellent job in removing and installing the new windows. The slider patio door lock assembly wasn't working properly and the installers put in an order for a new lock mechanism. We had to call Energy savers a couple of times to find out when the new lock assembly would be in, and installed in the patio slide door."
Windows last between 15 and 30 years on average. The glass tends to last for around 20 years, while the frames last up to 50 years. This varies by the type of window frame material, glass quality, location, and level of maintenance. Wood frames have the shortest lifespan and require repainting or resealing every couple of years, while fiberglass has one of the longest lifespans.
