"Everything about the window replacement project with Northwest Exteriors went perfectly. Professional, worry-free, quality product, quality install, left no mess (believe me that is a big deal). Why can”t all contractors be like Northwest? Thanks HA!"
"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."
An egress window is similar to a regular window. However, this type of window opens fully to allow people to escape the home or rescue personnel to enter the home if an emergency occurs. Egress windows are required in all finished basements before they can be considered a living space.
Consider energy performance ratings, durability, aesthetics, and ease of maintenance when selecting windows for different environments.
Double-pane windows offer several key benefits, making them a worthwhile investment. They provide superior insulation and energy efficiency compared to single-pane windows, which helps limit heat loss, maintain more comfortable indoor temperatures, and lower your utility bills. The design, which features two panes of glass filled with air or gas, also dramatically reduces noise from outside, making your home significantly quieter. Additionally, the dual-pane construction strengthened by spacers improves the durability and security of your windows.
Tinting your windows will make your house darker since it will prevent some sunlight from getting inside. While you can choose a window film that is on the lighter side, there will still be reduced sunlight. If natural light is important to you, tinted windows might not be the best choice for your home.
Yes, you can always make an existing window bigger, but the job complexity varies widely depending on the location of the window and the framing around it. Exterior walls are always load-bearing, so making windows wider will require structural changes that make for a more complex but doable project. Making windows taller often won’t require structural changes.
