"I can’t speak highly enough of Marc Cowan. He installed new windows for me 14 years ago. Recently one window got broken and needed to be replaced. He did replace it for me without cost. He and his crew are gentlemen. Jane O."
"Second time hiring Action windows and I wish I could hire them for everything. Where it counts us if you have an issue and how it's handle. Small. Problem was handled asap and they even sent manufacturer out right away to repair it. Said they would do it themselves if necessary. Wonderful superb company to work with. You won't be sorry. I look forward to siding next with Action windows and siding."

"Dylan did a fabulous job managing our window order, ensuring we had the right measurements and showing us how to use the windows and door. Diego, the crew leader, was polite and worked with us to move everything we needed away from the old windows. We are happy with our new windows! Home genius also installed our new roof and gutters. Each job was completed in one day including cleanup. They were careful to minimize damage to flower beds. Crews were on time, and minimized disturbance. Home Genius has done a good job choosing their contractors and job site managers, clearly focused on customer service and provides quality workmanship."
"In the past, I have cleaned my own windows. This is the first time I have used a professional window cleaner, and I was a little nervous about how the windows would turn out because Iâ  m pretty fussy. I am so pleased with Delâ  s Window Cleaning! They were easy to reach, responsive, punctual, professional, and they did a great job. Will definitely use them again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND."
In addition to protecting your home from costly storm damage, storm windows increase your home's value if you live in an area that’s prone to severe weather. Storm windows offer about an 80% return on investment (ROI). Therefore, if you install $10,000 worth of storm windows, you can expect to get around $8,000 back if you sell your home within a few years of installation. Additionally, highly hurricane-prone areas, like the Florida coast, offer even higher returns, with ROIs on storm windows reaching up to 86%.
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.
Regular cleaning, non-abrasive cleaners, and scheduling professional services every few months help maintain clarity and shine.
Consider energy performance ratings, durability, aesthetics, and ease of maintenance when selecting windows for different environments.
Tinting your windows will make your house darker since it will prevent some sunlight from getting inside.
