"We had a 35 year old solarium in great need of repair. The project was complex and difficult, but Wayne had the skills and expertise to replace six large windows and rebuild the solarium. It was a challenging project, and Wayne did an exceptional job. Our "new" solarium adds greatly to the value of our house. Wayne knows windows and doors and he gets five stars from us! Mary Ross"

"Mr. Ferrell first connected his computer to my computer via internet and worked for quite a few hours trying to determine what exactly was wrong. The next day he continued working from his computer for several hours. He determined he would have to have my desktop tower to complete the repair. He and my son met in Huntsville to exchange the tower. He then cleaned up a lot of what was wrong and reloaded Windows 10. He deleted the D: drive which had way too much memory allotted to it. The tower was returned and I plugged it all back together and it is working better than it did when I first purchased it. I would use him again and I recommend him highly to anyone needing computer updating and/or repair. His work is warrantied and he is very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful."
"Install was easy. Up front cost was pretty low with Angie's List coupon. Monthly price is a little high compared to competing companies. Response time with alarms is excellent. I was advised to use glass break alarms within 10 ft of my first floor windows, which we installed correctly. I asked prior to installation if having one in the kitchen would cause false alarms due to dishes clanging, etc. I was told the glass break alarms are configured to a precise frequency that alarms with breaking glass. So, not a "no", but not really an answer. Well, every time we cook dinner, wash dishes or empty the dish washer, the kitchen glass break alarm gives a warning which would sound the alarm if it was set. This has caused us a number of false alarms while we've been away due to shifting bowls or plates in our drying rack. For the first several we've had to pay our police department $120 to check the house, and I was only notified after the first alarm that there was a cheaper option for a security company to drive by to check for a break in."

"It was an interesting experience. First of all, everyone was really friendly and easy to work with. Ben originally came out and walk through our stucco repairs. We wanted the top of a stucco wall repaired along with various other stucco repairs. Additionally, we had some questions about roofing issues and possible painting the house. We also wanted to have some lose soffits re-attached while they were doing other work in the area. Ben did a great job of showing me warning signs of things to look for so I know what to keep an eye on in the future. Our house has a concrete tile roof that is dangerous to walk on in terms of safety and potential damage to the tiles. Our home is also very tall - 3.5 stories off the ground Ben did a great job of assuring us that the workers could access the areas around the house without stepping on the tiles by using scaffolding. Since the estimates were for a substantial amount of money, over $10,000 to do the work, we assumed the cost was due to setting up scaffolding as Ben said he spoke several times with the owner, Scott, to make sure they could get to the work areas, especially, the top of the structure. There is an additional charge of moving tiles which I was okay with as they are really dangerous to walk on and wanted them to have a safe area to work so they could focus on doing a good job and not falling off the roof. it started great. Hector came out on a Saturday morning and started prepping the areas for repair. He did a great job matching the stucco and texture. However, Ben said they would build up the top of the wall so that water would flow off of it better, but Hector only scrapped the top and applied the new topping - which looks good, but did not contain a more noticeable slope. Hector had missed a couple of spots to touch up, but quickly fixed them when I pointed them out to him. Then Hector proceeded to start caulking the windows. However, many areas were difficult to get to and he indicated that he would have to walk on the tiles, which we wanted to avoid because Metro states in their contract that they are not responsible for any broken roof tiles and are tiles are no longer being made. Additionally, he was really nervous about him trying to get on the roof and told us several times he was just a 'stucco' person. Hector decided it wasn't worth the risk without the proper ladder and left for the day. I was relieved that he decided not to get on the roof and it gave us time to talk to Ben and Brady. Hector did caulk a couple of the windows that he could safely reach using a Dow Corning silicone caulk. The contract specifically called for using Lexel caulk because it was superior to silicone. When I mentioned the issue with the roof and caulk, Brady came out the next morning and we worked through the issues. Brady assured my that the silicone was rated higher than the Lexel; however, the do have different qualitys. We spoke with Brady about building scaffolding and he assured us that we didn't need it and they could walk on the tile in a special way as to not break it. Brady ended up coming out to speak with us directly. We ended up removing some of the work like the painting and some roof work because we were uncomfortable that they were not going to use scaffolding. Brady was great about modifying the contract. Brady also said Ben was new and was learning about some of the building issues we had questions about so some of the work probably wasn't needed anyway. Hector came out again with a ladder that could reach the higher levels and finished caulking with Lexel. Additionally, he was able to re-attach some of the problem soffits. He didn't finish everything and would need to return the next day. Hector arrived to install the remaining kick outs late in the afternoon. We ended up helping him by holding the ladder, hauling supplies to top levels of the house and holding flashlights while he worked into the evening. Hector did a really good job with matching the color and finish of the stucco. He really knows his stucco. Overall, it was a mixed bag. Everyone was friendly and easy to deal with and responsive to all our questions. They were gracious in letting us modify the contract. The quality of the stucco work was really good. If they would have built the scaffolding to access the work areas, I think we would have been really happy and had all the original work done and our rating would reflect that. The price seemed steep, but the other estimates we had were in-line with Metro's estimate so I rated it Fair. While Ben assured us that they could reach the areas with scaffolding, Brady said they wouldn't need it but would not cover damaged tiles if they broke them. The scaffolding access was one of the reasons we went with them so I rated the professionalism as Fair . Punctuality was Fair because of the evening visit and missed day. However, we are very flexible with our schedule so we worked around their schedule and it didn't bother us that much. "
If your windows weren’t manufactured with a retaining clip to receive muntins and hold them in place, you should contact a window company near you to add them for you. A professional will bond the muntins directly to the glass to hold them in place, and they’ll make sure the edges line up nicely with your window frames. If your window does have retaining clips to hold muntins in place, you can just pop the muntins into the clips.
When comparing impact windows vs. hurricane shutters, it’s important to consider the protection and installation details to determine the right choice for you. For constant protection against storms and flying debris, impact windows are a better option than hurricane shutters, especially if you don’t want to install shutters that will change the look of your house. However, impact windows are more costly than hurricane shutters. If you want a budget-friendly option that’s still protective against storms, hurricane shutters are a solid option.
Yes, every window needs a lintel. The lintel is necessary for redistributing the load above the window to the walls around the window. Windows aren’t meant to support a load, so lintels are an important part of a window installation. If you go to replace your windows and discover there are no lintels, you may need a window company or structural engineer to install lintels for your new windows.
The best homemade cleaning solution for windows is one gallon of warm, distilled or bottled water mixed with five to ten drops of liquid dish soap. This is what professional window cleaners typically use when they make their cleaning solutions. Using bottled or distilled water will help avoid hard water stains after cleaning, and the soap will cut through grease, smudges, and debris on your glass.
A common way to modernize arched windows is to install interior window treatments that allow light through the curved portion up to and let you cover the bottom portion for privacy. You can also install plantation shutters to make an arched window look more modern. From the exterior, arched windows can appear outdated if they’re coupled with ornate trim, so toning down the decor can make your window look more natural with a modern design.
