"I am very happy with the work that was done and will be getting any future work done by The Window Tint Experts. The process was fast, friendly, and easy on the purse strings. Don't hesitate to give them a call."
"I don't know where to start so I'll just say this company is FABULOUS. I went through every window company on Angie's list and to my knowledge M3 is the only one that has earned straight A's from it's customers, and I see why. Scott, the owner, spent a lot of time looking at my job and answering every question I had. He kept me informed every step of the way and gave me plenty of notice for scheduling installation. The installers were extremely punctual and quick, in addition to being affable, polite guys. There's not a nick in the paint that needs touchup after this installation and the place was left immaculate.. I couldn't be more happy with my job and M3 Windows and Doors.."

"Locktight windows was a wonderful company to work with! It was an easy process from start to finish! We are very pleased with our windows. I would highly recommend this company if you are looking to replace your windows with hurricane impact!"
"I interviewed close to 10 companies to have hurricane windows installed at my townhouse. I have 5 windows and 2 sliding glass doors that needed replacement. Many of the companies that came out wanted to do a 2 hour presentation on their windows and a strong sales pitch. Prices ranged as high as $21,000.00 I was disillusioned about having the work done till one of my friends told me to contact East Coast Windows & Doors Inc as she had worked with them last year to replace windows at her home. Well, all I can say is that I am so glad I did. I met with Ed the owner who is a straight shooter and honorable man. They were prompt and professional. I got a great product and a great price. They have their own installation team and do not subcontract the installation as so many companies do. Ravi and his team were exceptional! And despite the fact that it rained the day of the installation the work was done with high quality and care for my needs. All in all, their are a lot of companies out there doing this work , but many are rip off's! Yet, if you contact and work with East Coast Windows & Doors Inc, you will be treated with respect and get great service!"
"Lewis and his team were responsive, timely and professional. Upon inspection of the windows, Lewis offered a wide range of films from which to choose and explained the benefits of each, so that I made the appropriate choice for my project. Seven windows were treated at my residence, including the removal of 30-year-old tinted film. I now have a lifetime warranty on the new Solar Control film. The job took just a bit under six hours and I was instructed on the care and maintenance of the film. All in all, a pleasant experience. Highly recommended."
"Had mechanisms on all 14 windows replaced. Excellent work at a good price! Eugene was friendly and communicative - sent texts to let us know when he would be arriving - and finished the job on schedule. I highly recommend!"
Whether you need a permit to install a bay window depends on the project's scope. Replacing an existing bay window typically does not require a permit. However, if you are adding a new bay window, requirements can vary. Adding a new bay window to the front of your house usually requires a building permit, while adding one to the side or back of your house often does not. It's always best to check with your local municipality to confirm the specific requirements in your area. Additionally, if you live in a historic district, you should consult your neighborhood association to ensure your project complies with their construction guidelines. If you're unsure about the process, a professional can provide guidance.
Depending on the window style and your home's layout, you can install replacement windows from either the inside or the outside. Many installations are done from the inside because it allows for better access and weather protection, but some exterior installs are easier for certain types of siding or trim. The key is choosing the approach that gives you the best access to the frame while keeping the existing structure intact.
While clean windows don't automatically increase home value, they make your home look more attractive from the outside, and since the exterior is the first thing a potential buyer will see, it can help make a good first impression that paints the rest of your home in a positive light. Educated homebuyers will see that your home is well cared for if they see clean window tracks and sparkling window glass, which can contribute to an overall positive opinion of your property. Clean windows give the impression that the rest of the home—including systems and appliances—is probably well-kept, too.
During hurricanes or other major storms, high winds can cause objects and debris to fly through the air, which can break your windows. Depending on how strong the storm is, the winds themselves may be strong enough to break your windows, too. Investing in storm windows or hurricane shutters can help protect you against potential window breakage.
Fiberglass and wood windows last the longest, with lifespans of up to 45 years or more with proper maintenance. Wood windows are more expensive than vinyl and aluminum windows, but they’re 10% to 20% less expensive than fiberglass windows. Repairing and restoring wood windows is also easier than with fiberglass windows, so they’re considered the more durable option overall.
