"It went extremely well. They kept us up to speed on their arrival times. Eduardo and KC were courteous, professional, and did a great job on our windows. And, they came in at the lower end of the estimate. I will hire Smart Window Cleaning again."
"Mehr was incredible! Great response, the first to contact me after I submitted my request. I made an appointment for 3 days from then. he made it very easy to contact him and ask additional questions. After he completed my window cleaning, I was ready to pay him. He asked if we could walk around the house and make sure everything was to my satisfaction. many of the windows still had water droplets on them, so I sked if they would dry without any water spots. He said that yes, they would dry with no residue or spot from the filtration system they use that completely purifies the water. I said OK, and was ready to leave it at that. Then Mehr offered to stay there until all the water dried, and I could see that there were no spots or streaks. He stayed an extra 45 minutes, and sure enough, the windows were spotless. I was amazed by his customer service and commitment to his work. Mehr answered the phone, sent me a quote, made my appointment, and did all the work! AWESOME!"
"I contacted CWE to replace 8 windows and 1 patio door. Jeff came by and did the consultation. He was very friendly and professional. Communication 5/5 - Jeff was very responsive to questions and clearly communicated the work and timeline. Timeliness 5/5 - Both the consultation and installation started on time. The windows actually arrived sooner than expected. Quality 5/5 - The installation team laid down blankets before starting any work. They removed the old windows without damaging the surrounding wall. They installed the new windows and applied the cleanest caulk line I’ve ever seen. They cleaned up after themselves. The Anlin windows that were installed works perfectly and are beautiful."
"American Home Renewal recently replaced 7 double hung windows in our home. We had 3 window replacement companies come to our home discuss the process and give us estimates. Chris from American Home Renewal was by far the most professional. He spent time with us, accurately described the entire installation process with us and exhibited willingness and patience to hear and understand what we were looking for in the new windows. The American Home Renewal contract was clear, concise and straight forward. The 3 day installation process was fluid and fairly quiet and we were able to work from home. It had a minimal impact on our lives. The crew cleaned up thoroughly every day and took time to make sure we knew how to tilt the windows for eventual cleaning etc. Keith, the Production Manager, checked in a few times during the 3 day installation period to ensure everything was progressing to our satisfaction. We could not be more pleased with American Home Renewal's level of professional service and care."
"$400 is a lot to pay to clean 10 windows. They were supposed to clean 11 but forgot one. No problem I didnâ t call them back so itâ s not their fault. Iâ m sure they wouldâ ve come back and turn the last window. And the window sparkles when he was done. He did a great job"
"Excellent! They did such a great job and at an outstanding price. I have so many windows in my house and they came in way below any other competitor. It's been a few years but the windows still look and work great! As a matter of fact, my next door neighbor recently hired them to replace all of their windows based on the job they did at my house."
"Renewal by Andersen of Wyoming did an incredible job with installing windows in our home. Thank you to the team who did the install and to the company for creating these exceptional windows."
"The tile in the shower was done well, but the tile on the floor was not. The tile was uneven, grout missing and they put in the wrong drain cover. So, they came back and fixed it. The etched window in the shower that was caulked had mold growing under it. They came back and re-caulked it. The thermostat for the floor was not installed on it's own dedicated circuit, so an electrician has to come and fixed it."
Bay windows are supported by braces and industrial strength cables, often at the top of the window but sometimes at the bottom. The bay window may need buttress supports if installed on the second floor. Wood screws on the interior also hold the bay window in place. Bay windows are heavy and need proper support to prevent sagging and wall damage. You need to ensure that the support system can hold the weight of the window and the roof cab over the window.
To find and hire a reputable contractor for an egress window installation, you should first research local professionals and then vet your top candidates. Start by searching for local contractors who specialize in this type of work, read their customer reviews, and examine their website and portfolio. Once you have a shortlist, contact them to ask key questions: Are you licensed and insured? What is your specific experience installing egress windows? Can you provide references from previous customers? Do you perform the work yourself or use subcontractors? What is the estimated project timeline and your current schedule? How do you handle payment?
Use a high-quality caulk with silicone around your windows, as it’s waterproof and shrink-proof. Or, you can use a caulk consisting of polyurethane or acrylic if you want to be able to paint over it. Caulk made from silicone is not paintable. Avoid using inexpensive caulk that has a resin or oil base. These caulks will not last long and may shrink and pull away from the window as temperatures go up and down.
Because egress windows are meant for emergency exiting and entering, they need to be an accessible size. The smallest an egress window is allowed to be is 15 inches in width and height, with an opening of around 4 square feet.
The gas between window panes, typically argon or krypton, acts as a barrier to heat transfer. This means it helps keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer by preventing heat from passing through the glass. This gas layer also reduces condensation by stabilizing the temperature across the window and helps minimize noise. Essentially, it’s all about improving energy efficiency and comfort while lowering those utility bills.
