"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 used Locktight windows to replace my windows with Hurricane Windows. They were professional, clean, on time and worked quickly. I was very happy with their installers, sales, people, and managers. I would highly recommend them."
"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+."
"They were quick to respond to my email inquiry but unfortunately I didn't meet their minimum job requirement. They were very apologetic and I did appreciate it very much. Eventually I plan on replacing my windows and I would definitely reach out to them again."
"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."
"We purchased impact windows and doors to replace our old windows and 2 french doors, from Locktight and we couldn't be happier with the entire process and products. The windows and doors are everything we hoped they would be. Communication with Locktight has been topnotch throughout; and, the removal of the old windows and installation of the new windows was quick, incredibly professional and impeccably neat. The windows themselves are beautiful, high quality and nearly soundproof. They have improved the appearance of the exterior of our house significantly. We highly recommend Locktight to anyone considering replacing/upgrading their windows and/or doors."
"I wanted casement windows for the front of my house to replace very old awning windows. Other installers were reluctant to install casements, and recommended a combination of different sized sliding windows (neighbors in similar houses who have updated, have variations of slider configurations). Matt agreed that casements would look great and indicated that he could install them. Once the windows arrived and installation was begun, it wasn't long before he ran into 60 year old iron posts connecting to my tie beam that complicated the installation. There were a few ways to proceed, but Matt decided that the best looking and most economical way to complete the installation was to frame around the poles, then cover them with white aluminum covers that matched the windows. The work is completed. It's beautiful and one would never know that there was any issue. Matt did install sliders in the back of the house, as planned, replacing older single-hung windows, and they are perfect. He was able to preserve those window sills and molding. The front window sill, the original from when the house was built, already chipped and marred from years of abuse, received more damage during the re-configuration of the framing. It was to be expected and I had all along planned to replace the window sill myself following the completion of the window installation. Matt felt that his work caused a bit more damage to the tile sill and informed me that he felt he should replace it. There was no talking him out of it! I now have great looking windows and a nice new tile window sill. Much of the work on my windows was completed when my wife and I were at work and no one was home. The house was left neat and clean, and there were absolutely no issues. If there was any problem, I'd say it had to do with communication, but primarily in regard to what time work would begin in the morning, and what work might be planned for the day. I am extremely satisfied with the work that was provided, the cost of the installation, and the high quality of the windows that Matt recommended."
New window installation costs range from $300 to $1,500 per window, depending on size, material, and energy efficiency features.
When it comes to your pocket, opting for energy-efficient windows can lead to an average of 12% in energy bill savings. That totals to yearly energy savings between $100 and $600. However, the exact amount you’ll save hinges on factors like your local climate and the number of windows in your home.
To tell if a window is single or double-pane, focus on the edge. Double-pane windows have two glass layers separated by a spacer, which you can usually see around the edges. For single-pane windows, it’s just one sheet of glass. Another easy trick: shine a light at the window—single-pane glass reflects once, while double-pane glass reflects twice. Lastly, if you feel both sides of the glass on a cold day, double-paned windows will feel warmer because of the insulating gap between the panes.
When your double-hung window upper sash keeps falling down, it means you could be letting out warm air in the winter or cool air from the AC in the summer. That means your HVAC system works harder to warm or cool the house, costing you extra on electric bills.
If the lower sash continues to fall down, it means when you’ve popped open the window for fresh air, it could slam shut. In addition to being inconvenient, this could be dangerous if you have small kids, children, or pets that like to hang out by the window.
Picture windows last about 20 to 50 years, depending on the material, your location, and how well you maintain the windows over the years. Materials like vinyl and aluminum may not last as long, while fiberglass can last many years. Wood will last decades if you keep up with maintenance. Homes in areas with harsh weather throughout the year may cause windows to have shorter lifespans.
