"Danie responded as soon as I asked for a quote. After explaining the terms, he was able to fit me onto a time slot he had open immediately and did a spectacular job on my 2nd story windows! I really only needed the outside cleanined but I could see he is very conscientious and offered to do the inside also for no additional cost! I put him on a quarterly schedule and look forward to having sparkly clean windows to enjoy my sunset view!"
"From start to finish, these guys were professional and did a great job. The quote was fair, showed up on time, and actually finished early. Equally important they were attentive to some of my concerns related to some areas of the house and equipment that appeared to be more delicate. We should have done this years ago. We'll definitely bring Windward Window Cleaners back on a more regular basis."
"Jason did an amazingly efficient installation of a wall mounted window AC unit! He came exactly at the appointment time, pulled out the old unit, and installed the new one in less than an hour! Highly recommended!"
"They responded to my request very quickly so I did not waste any time waiting or talking. They did very good through jobs. I even recommended them to my friends already. I will call them whenever we need help for cleaning. Highly recommend them for windows and other house cleaning."
"David was always punctual and ready to work at the scheduled time. Recently installed a window AC for us and changed some valves and spigots for our outside water line. Always gave suggestions regarding future work but never did pressure us to hire him outright. Honest, hard working, and friendly."
"Frankie and his team did exceptional job very happy with the end product. I put the request for a quote in, in the morning and had an in person quote completed by the end of the day. Trustworthy team, fair price and fast quality work. Would 100% hire again."
"I needed drywall repair work done on the wall and ceiling of our garage, as well as patching and repairing rusting window frames, and other miscellaneous items. The technician recommended what needed to be done and was very efficient and thorough in his work. Donna advised and kept me informed me every step of the way on things like color of paint, the time needed to complete a project, and the costs involved. Bing and Donna are a very professional team and we will be using them again in August for additional repair jobs."
Yes, egress windows can significantly add value to a home. By making basement and attic areas safer and more livable, they allow you to market these spaces as finished living areas, which increases your property's value. Many homeowners can recover the full installation cost, with some sources citing a return on investment of around 70%. The exact value added depends on your specific home, location, and adherence to local building codes. Beyond financial value, egress windows enhance functionality by adding natural light and comfort. They are also a crucial safety feature, often mandated by building codes to serve as an emergency exit.
If your windows weren’t manufactured with a retaining clip to receive muntins and hold them in place, you should contact a window company near you to add them for you. A professional will bond the muntins directly to the glass to hold them in place, and they’ll make sure the edges line up nicely with your window frames. If your window does have retaining clips to hold muntins in place, you can just pop the muntins into the clips.
Removing a window isn’t a very long process. Depending on several factors, it can take anywhere from 20 minutes to upwards of an hour. The size of the window greatly impacts the time it takes to replace it. Accessibility is another big component. If it’s hard to reach the window or reaching it is dangerous, anticipate it taking longer.
Lastly, if the old window is in poor condition, it could take longer to remove it safely—especially if the frame has wood rot and is structurally unsound.
Window replacement is typically always worth the cost, both from a money-saving standpoint and a comfort standpoint. If your windows are older and significantly damaged, a window replacement can actually save you money in the long term by improving energy efficiency. If your windows aren’t up to code, you may not really have a choice.
In most cases, it's worth it to install hurricane windows—especially if you live in an area prone to hurricanes and storms.
