"We started a siding and windows job on our home in early 2024. $100k later, the job is still incomplete and it’s impossible to get them to actually follow through on their commitment to finish the job. Never mind the fact that now the windows are leaking and to them, it’s clearly no big deal because I notified them on April 1st and Will, their General Manager, said that someone would be out to check it out and I haven’t heard from anyone since. I’ve emailed the owner to no avail and in the beginning was told by their Sales person, Heather, that customer service is “their thing.” Yeah right, they got what they wanted out of us and that was it. I’ve tried to be patient but at the point, I’m over it. This is terrible customer service to say the least. They talk a big game in the beginning but just be cautious, they don’t care as much as they say they do."

Lipton Window and Door is a hand selected group of craftsman that are dedicated to making your window and door project an enjoyable experience. Our company started as an installation company that serviced all of the Tampa Bay /St Petersburg area. We eventually found the best Manufacturers to work with to supply our customers with the most energy efficient product that can withstand the harsh elements Florida has to offer. Lipton Window and Door was founded on old school principles that were handed down from past generations. We do what we say when we say we will do it. Our installers are being trained constantly on the newest installation techniques and changes in the ever evolving products that we supply which insures a quality job every time. Whether you are looking for a Door ,or Windows for your home,Condo,or Townhouse our sales staff will help you pick the perfect product to beautify your home while making it stronger ,safer and more energy efficient. We buy from the nations best manufacturers to ensure the lowest pricing available without sacrificing quality.

"Do NOT use Lipton windows! It took 7 months and 4 return visits just to replace 3 windows in my home. Here's how it went... I met with the salesman in Nov '18, then decided to purchase 3 windows, luckily, rather than do the whole house, in Dec '18. PGT manufactured the windows and that took about 6-8 weeks. The first visit, Lipton sent a subcontracted crew, not a single one was a Lipton employee, to install the windows. They did a pretty shoddy job, but good enough I suppose, for the cheapest bid. When they were finished, I noticed a crack in one of the windows. (I suggest inspecting your windows very carefully, because workers will not!) Of course, they blamed PGT, the manufacturer, and sent pictures to Lipton. A new window was ordered, and 5 weeks later, trip number 2. This time, an actual Lipton employee came out and installed window number 2. Upon my inspection, I found a 5 inch scratch on the window. They again blamed PGT. A new window was ordered, and 5 weeks later, trip number 3. Again a Lipton employee was sent out, and attempted to install window number 3, but it was the wrong size! A new window was ordered, and 5 weeks later, trip number 4. This time, at my request and after discussions with the owner of Lipton, a PGT employee came to install the 4th window. Let me make note of the discernible differences in professionalism between the Lipton employees/contractors and the PGT employee; a world apart. This time, the window wasn't damaged, and the installation went perfectly. The PGT employee took extra time to clean the excess caulk and put finishing touches on the aesthetics of the job, both of which I was told previously by the Lipton employees couldn't be done except on a return visit. Not only did they lie about that, but on one occasion a Lipton employee tried to show me how to clean the excess caulk so I could do it myself! Awful. Every time I told the company about the terrible experiences with their employees, their response was that they no longer work for them. Throughout this extended process, all communication with Lipton was initiated by me, including all follow up calls and scheduling. My fault for taking the cheapest bid. Do yourself a favor and spend a few extra bucks to avoid a prolonged and annoying experience of getting windows replaced. The only reason I didn't rate an F was because in the end, I do have 3 windows hanging. The icing on top was when the salesman called me afterwards to try and sell me more windows! He had no idea what I had gone through, and when I explained, he offered me 50 bucks off a window. No thanks! I do NOT recommend using Lipton windows for anything."

"More than half windows were wrong size, to big gaps between windows and walls,frames. Looks like 2-3" on each sides... The walls around frames are not ready for painting like was agreed. They told me , it's ok just buy some glue to glue some parts of peeled wall, fix and sand all , than you can paint!!! Teims are not evenly done too. See the pictures. I was thinking they did fix that but no... as many other... The big hole that was made on a drywall was just dumped bunch of the mud.. no drywall or anything as a back support. I just wanted them to be done.. was to stressful to look. Manager Rafael was very rude, arrogant and talks over you all the time. Didn't want to listen to any of our concerns, just saying all over .. everything is perfect. Honestly better buy windows at home depot and have someone instal them, it will be cheaper $10k +. These windows are not made by measurements to fit my openings, as they said. I did address this few times, but no one cares!!!! Manager is just protecting the company, and they do not care about customer!!! Not sure how they can have many positive reviews with this unprofessional work and behavior!!! NOW I NEED TO PAY SOMEONE ELSE TO FIX ALL THIS!!!"

Doors questions, answered by experts

A door sill is the horizontal part of the door frame at the bottom, while a door jamb consists of the vertical parts of the frame on either side. The door sill serves as a threshold, sealing the bottom of the door, while the door jamb provides structural support and houses the hinges and latch. Both are essential components of a door frame, with the door sill acting as a transition point and the door jamb providing stability and functionality.

Soft-close hinges are worth it if the benefits are a top priority. The biggest benefit of soft-close hinges is that they reduce stress on the cabinet frames, and extending the longevity of these pricey furnishings is a worthwhile investment. Plus, fixing noisy kitchen cabinets helps protect kids with careless fingers, reduces marks on the frames, and creates a quieter living space.

Butt hinges are the most common of all door hinges. They’re frequently used in commercial and residential structures, secure interior and exterior doors, and can be used on cabinetry. They’re inexpensive, simple to install, easy to remove, and available in various materials and styles. They come with two leaves with a knuckle or barrel in the middle.

Solid wood is a durable and attractive option for cabinet doors that holds up well against a small amount of moisture. However, solid wood doors will expand and contract, meaning upkeep will be necessary if painted. Particleboard with veneer cabinet doors are cost-effective and can be attractive. MDF cabinet doors offer excellent and predictable workability features. However, both of those options are vulnerable to damage if water finds its way through the veneer or paint finish. 

The width of your door jamb should match your wall thickness exactly, so it depends on your wall. For standard door openings, the width is equal to the width of a 2-by-4-inch  stud, plus the width of the drywall on both sides—about 1/2 inch each—which comes out to 4 9/16 inches. Block walls and framed walls that use 2-by-6-inch framing require a door jamb that’s 6 9/16 inches. You should always measure your finished wall thickness to get an accurate width for your door jamb material.
