"Hired David to get our windows tinted . David and his team were punctual . Did a clean and thorough job . He also followed up with us to check how the tint was working out for our rooms."
"Every contact was great. Sid was great. He was able to explain the advantages and disadvantages of different types of windows. Greg came out and measured and kept us updated throughout the process. The installation crew were just fantastic. In the middle of a pandemic they were thoughtful and quite respectful. Totally cleaned everything, and made sure that both my husband and I could operate the new windows before leaving. From start to finish customer service was fantastic. We got a few bids on windows and this company gave us not just the best service but also a great price on the replacement of all of our windows in our 40 year old house. I highly recommend them."
"Great! The crew was very knowledgeable and professional. Installation went quickly with no issues. Would definitely use them again and would recommend to anyone that needs new windows."
"The Home-Rite team did a great job. Two windows were delivered with manufacture defects but the problems were taken care of promptly. Price was good and window quality was good also. Would definitely hire again to replace remaining windows."

Impact windows are a type of window made with impact-resistant glass, designed specifically for hurricanes. The glass, treated with ethylene-vinyl, can withstand winds up to 200 mph, as well as flying debris. Brands sometimes test their impact windows with large missile impact tests.
Impact windows may be required in some places. For instance, the Florida Building Code requires homes to have impact-resistant windows if they live within a mile of the coast where wind speeds can reach 110 mph or more.
Your new windows may let in more noise than your old windows because they are not the right size or they were installed improperly. Improper installation, or choosing windows that are too small for the opening, can create gaps around the window that let in noise.
Another factor could be the STC and OITC ratings. If your new windows have lower ratings than your old windows, this means they have lower performance when it comes to dampening noise from the outdoors.
Adding windows to a house is expensive. Budget roughly $5,800 to add a single window, and double or triple that to add two or three. In some cases, adding a single window can exceed $20,000, depending on the type of exterior wall, the size of the window, the type of window, local permit costs, and other factors.
Windows can crack for various reasons. Common causes include aging glass, physical impact, and temperature stress. A less common reason is pressure changes, which are far less predictable. Pressure changes often happen because of poor window placement.
Casement windows are more expensive than some other window types, such as single-hung or double-hung windows. However, casement windows are not the most expensive type of window. Bow and bay window costs tend to be the highest, because they involve multiple large windows that jut out from the exterior of the home.
