"Iâ ve hired Your Home Improvement Company several times over the past few years. Windows and siding. Great products and craftsmanship. Great customer service as well! Couldnâ t be happier with this company!"
"Chuck M. came to our home and sole use the windows. Everything happened as he told us it would. From the installers contacting us to coming out and doing the measurements for the windows. Even the Financing. ended up with a slightly higher interest rate but was warned it could happen. They worked with us on the down payment, and the installers from Alside went above and beyond for us. I am so glad DaBella is who we went with. Everyone in my house loves the new fog window in our bathroom."
"Everyone at Elevated was super friendly and professional! The owner, Ian, was a part of the process from start to finish which put me at ease. Super happy with the work they did and love my new windows!"
"Renewal by Andersen of Wyoming did an incredible job with installing windows in our home. Thank you to the team who did the install and to the company for creating these exceptional windows."
"The lower sections of wood siding at various locations of our home needed replacement due to water damage. We also had TVE add some gutters in a few locations. We experienced scheduling difficulties and incorrect ordering with TVE. No communication on when the gutters would be installed. They just showed up. Then they dropped the trailer and left for about 4 hours. Couldn't get a hold of anyone that knew what was going on. Then they finally showed up again. They did, however, do a good job of installation. Initially we were told the exterior siding replacement would be done at the same time as the gutter additions. This didn't happen. Then we were told the install would happen when they install the windows. This did not happen. After several texts and phone calls, we did not hear back from TVE on when this work would be scheduled. Then they just showed up unscheduled. The installer informed us that the wrong quantity of panels was ordered and he could not finish the job, so he didn't start and just left. We ended up cancelling the work on the siding and going with another contractor. Kelly at TVE's apologized and was very professional. He informed me that they were very busy and were having scheduling issues. In response to this situation, he offered to install one of the exterior doors we were having them replace for free. The gesture was much appreciated and I appreciated the way they handled the matter even though my wife and I were very frustrated with the lack of communication, mis-ordering of materials, and scheduling difficulties."
"Everyone was very professional and friendly. The only thing was that somehow the initial windows that came in were too small. He had to re-order the windows which took another month to be installed. Once the new windows came in, they were fast and efficient. Despite the setback, Iâ m very happy with my new windows!"

Windows with muntins are slightly more expensive because you’re paying for more material, but the cost shouldn't be that much higher since most muntins are fake on modern windows. You’re looking at a cost between $25 and $100 more per window for muntins, depending on the type. The only exception is if you want custom muntins to match your home style or meet your personal preference. Most manufacturers will charge more for these as they can’t mass-produce them. Windows with true muntins are rare, and they’re much more expensive upfront and over time if you ever need individual glass replacement.
In short, it depends. After 20 years, the glass in your windows is less energy efficient, which can cause increased electricity bills. You might also see signs of water damage or natural wear and tear over the years. However, with proper maintenance, some window frames can last up to 50 years, so you may only need to replace the glass to save on energy.
At the same time, window replacement is a major investment, so replacing the glass in rooms most impacted by outdoor temperatures is one way to avoid going all-in to replace your windows.
Most professionals can enlarge a window in five to 10 hours, depending on the window location, the exterior wall material, how easy it is to cut through it, and how much buildback you’ll need after the installation is complete. However, more complex projects can take two to three days from start to finish.
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.
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.
