"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."
"The installers came on time and were totally professional, experienced and worked continuously until the job was done. The triple pane windows are fabulous because compared to our old two pane faulty windows, not only are they solid and beautiful with no wind blowing through, but also the nearby road noise is greatly reduced. We needed to use plastic film to insulate the old windows and when the wind blew the plastic would billow like sails! The new windows make our condo seem like a true home."
"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."
Glass block windows offer several unique benefits over traditional windows, and they create a much more unique look. These specialty windows offer added privacy while allowing natural light into the space, which is why they’re a popular choice for bathroom features. They also provide increased security as glass blocks do not open unlike traditional windows. Plus, they provide increased energy efficiency, lowering energy costs and preventing drafts.
Yes, you can replace the frame around a window by completing either a partial replacement or a full replacement. With a partial replacement, your window specialist will remove the trim around the window and replace or repair just the damaged portion. For a full replacement, your tech will need to remove the window, replace the frame, and then reinstall the window.
Soundproof windows can’t completely block all noises, but they will significantly reduce sound from the road, sky, or your neighborhood’s weekend activities. Choose a soundproof window with an STC rating of at least 45 to block bass tones or loud conversations. Laminated glass windows can reduce noise by 75%. You can also add noise-reducing curtains to further muffle loud noises.
Wood windows are often worth the cost because they add more to curb appeal and your home value than more affordable options like vinyl and aluminum.

Whether or not it's worth it to install double-hung windows depends on several key factors. First, double-hung windows cost more than single-hung windows, so if you’re looking to lower costs, you might find it more worthwhile to choose single-hung windows. If you want the lowest maintenance requirements, though, double-hung windows are easier to clean.
Double-hung windows also offer better ventilation, making them a good option for bathrooms and kitchens. Single-hung windows have better energy efficiency than double-hung windows because they have only one moving part.
