"The installation crew was Five Star. Removing all windows downstairs/ Upstairs on a 3000 sq ft house was a big job. These fellows were prompt, meticulous, professional in every respect. I was in the trades for over 40 years; watching this team was like watching a ballet. Synchronized, efficient, every step counted. Thank you Access Windows for sending a terrific crew and a job well done."
"I am selling my home and a home inspector said she was putting on the report that the windows needed to be replaced. This company came out and repaired the windows. Services were provided the day after I called. professional, honest people "
"I contacted John Barnes about window tinting. He came out a couple times to answer all my questions and measure my Windows. He was very professional. They were also the most cost-effective quote that I got. I was very pleased with the installation team. They were very fast, courteous, and friendly. I would highly recommend John Barnes window tinting. I was very happy with their work. I would rate them A+."
"Shawn from the Window tint experts showed up same day, knocked the job out in no time, polite, and did a great job. Would definitely recommend him again."
"I literally spent almost two years researching this project as it was a big investment for me. I visited about 6 different companies around Ft. Lauderdale, looked at all the different manufacturers and their products, and had 4 local companies come to provide estimates. I decided to go with East Coast for a couple reason. The salesperson was very good and did not try and oversell me. He showed me the companies product lines and then walked the entire house with me asking what I wanted in each space. What I appreciated most was he offered me innovative solutions to a very large picture window I have in the from of the house - advising me he could find a better product for this window then the standard PGI solution the company uses. ( The window looks great by the way.) He also offered a better front door solution, recommending a local vendor that does a better job on bermuda doors. The other 3 companies had one product line from one company and only offered solutions from that manufacturer. I also appreciated the way East Coast did it's pricing. They gave me a straight forward quote - while all the other companies gave very high quotes - and then 'discounted' them by over $10,000 dollars or more. It was so hard to figure out actually pricing - as these huge discount made it look like a great deal - but many were still higher than East Coast. Of my top two choices- the second company lost my business when the salesperson called a few weeks later to tell me she had gotten an extra $2,000 on top of the $12,000 discount already offered for me as an extra special offer! SO - I knew this company's approach was to slowly see how much they could get from me by slow rolling discounts at me to see when i would bite. Totally ****** me off. East Coast was not the cheapest of the estimates - but the differences were very small comparatively. The permit and scheduling process took a bit of time, but once the crew got started - they pretty much finished everything in about 2 days - with one more day to make final touches. I am really pleased with the final product! The windows look great and they did a professional job on the caulking. One small think was the salesperson indicated they would fill the holes with filler that matched at least closely to the color of the house - which was not true. I will have to paint the house - but honestly it was my choice to have them remove all the shudders - so I knew this was likely going to be the case. Lastly - I appreciated how actively involved the owners and senior leaders of the company were in my project. The owners came to meet me, did a final review of the estimate and the measurements themselves, and they called and checked on the job throughout the process and after. I would highly recommend East Coast and am so glad I decided to go with them."
"It was only ONE window so it took several attempts calling them until they showed up. The job was done very fast and well but if its a small job I wouldn't really on them."
"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!"
Bay windows are supported by braces and industrial strength cables, often at the top of the window but sometimes at the bottom. The bay window may need buttress supports if installed on the second floor. Wood screws on the interior also hold the bay window in place. Bay windows are heavy and need proper support to prevent sagging and wall damage. You need to ensure that the support system can hold the weight of the window and the roof cab over the window.
Arched windows used to be most prevalent in more traditional home styles, like Spanish colonial and Gothic, but they are becoming increasingly popular in modern design. You’ll often find arched windows in new home builds across many styles, including farmhouse and contemporary architecture. This represents a more general trend toward more unique houses with interesting features.
You should avoid using abrasive materials and harsh chemicals when cleaning windows. Abrasive tools like scrubbing pads, rough cloths, or steel wool can permanently scratch and damage the glass. Harsh chemical cleaners containing alcohol or ammonia can damage window treatments, frame materials, and special features like tinting. It is also best to use distilled or filtered water instead of hard water, which can leave spots or streaks. For best results, use a clean microfiber cloth to wash the glass and old black and white newspapers to dry it without leaving streaks.

Storm windows are placed outside of already-installed windows. Regular windows are installed into a frame, offering a barrier to the elements but no special protection. Storm windows add extra protection to regular windows, reduce noise, and improve insulation. Replacing a regular window involves a different process than installing a storm window.
