"I hired the company to replace my windows in Boise.
Then we hired them to install 29 windows and 2 slides doors in two properties located in Austin and McAllen Tx.
The owner did an excellent job!
I truly recommend Boise Window Medics. Excellent job, on time, and affordable prices."
"Brent did an excellent job. The windows and screens are so clea now. I' am hoping to hire him in the autumn to get the windows clean for winter. I recommend Wishy Washy Windows."
"Zach & Stephanie did a fantastic job, cleaning all windows inside & out (and screens). The work was excellent & they were a very pleasant couple with whom to spend the day. We'll have them back in about 6 months."
"Hired them to replace 23 windows in my 21 year old home. They were the lowest bid for the identical windows from another local vendor. Installation only took one day. I have 7 more windows to replace and will contact Masterpiece Construction Experts to have those replaced. Very satisfied with them."
"They are knowledgeable about their business and know about windows. Iâ ve installed windows myself in the past and found the quality wasnâ t up to what I needed. These windows from Your Home Improvement Company ARE up to my standards."
"Great product, If I was looking to replace windows on my own residence, I would have given them strong consideration. My needs were for a rental property."

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.
While plywood will keep winds and debris from shattering your windows from the outside, window film can help protect your windows from the inside. Window film can keep a window from shattering. If your windows break, the film can hold the shards of glass in place, reducing the risk of cuts.
While you may sometimes see window film marketed as "hurricane window film," note that it doesn't provide sufficient hurricane protection on its own. It's no substitute for plywood, storm windows, or hurricane shutters.
Look for stickers at the top or inside of the frame, like in the tracks when the window is open. Some brands also stamp their name onto the frame itself or place it between the panes of glass, although this is less common. If you can’t find the info on the window itself, consider asking your neighbors or HOA.
Glass block windows typically last for 15 to 30 years, which is slightly less than the 20- to 50-year lifespan of standard windows. You can extend their life by resealing them every few years. Professional installation is also key to ensuring the windows are placed correctly and will function properly for years to come. A professional installer will have the necessary skills, tools, and knowledge to install these features and can identify potential issues like damaged frames or cramped areas during a consultation.
In some cases, you might need a permit for a window replacement, which is hard to get if you’re not a professional contractor. You should probably just hire a window replacement company in the first place because the job is complicated and can be dangerous for the average DIYer. You may not even save any money doing it yourself because contractors purchase materials wholesale.
