"From beginning to end this was a complete good experience. John came out and showed us the window and explained the process. After doing my research I have found the windows he uses to be excellent quality. Ordered the windows, 12 weeks to the date they were installed. The install was done in half a day. They team was very clean, helpful and complete. They answered all my questions and even let me watch! We noticed a difference within hours of sealing up the windows how cool my second story remained with the Energy Efficient windows in. I cleaned all of them with an easy process of sliding the clips and opening them. What a dream window and only wished we had done this ten years earlier. The windows were 29 years old, solid wood and clad. From the outside you can hardly tell the difference. These were a great purchase, and we are looking forward to having the other 13 windows done with Best Windows."

"I really can't say enough good things about the whole team at Siding and Windows Group (SWG).   Re-siding an entire house with a top-notch product like James Hardie is an expensive project. So we were quite nervous about doing it, especially selecting colors and design elements.  The designer/salesman (Bartek) made suggestions that we hadn't thought of, and helped us to pick all the right elements for this project.   There was no pressure - we had time to drive around the area and look at other houses that they had worked on and how the colors and different sizes of planks looked on real houses instead of on a small sample chip.
The crew who did the work were excellent - Adam, Andrew, & the Other Guy whose name I can't remember (sorry).   We also dealt with Greg, the owner, and Jola, who was a project manager.   The site was cleaned up at the end of each day, and everyone kept us informed at each stage, responded quickly when we had a concern, and made sure that 100% of the project was done to our satisfaction.  And it was.
The job took several weeks, including days off for bad weather during the winter.   The house is over 100 years old, so there's always surprises when work is done.  This project was no exception.   The biggest issue was the roof over the porch.  After the existing gutters and soffits were removed, it turned out that the wood frame was so rotted that it could not support the Hardie product. After some discussion, SWG ended up removing it and rebuilding a new roof over the porch.  It certainly wasn't in the initial scope of the project, but it was well worth it.   We're really happy with the final results.

"Repaired my compartment windows in a very reasonable account of time. It turned out my windows were "obsolete", but they were able to find parts and repair the window within the quoted price anyway. Very much appreciate their attention to service."

Windows questions, answered by experts

You can add any type of window to a brick house, so long as the window has proper support. Windows with wider openings and windows in brick walls will need a lintel to support the extra weight above the window frame. A lintel is a support beam that distributes the weight from above evenly around the window.

Having a professional caulk your windows will cost you around $50 to $70 per window (or $1.25 to $4 per linear foot), including labor. However, caulking is one of the easiest DIYs there is, and you’ll save a lot of money by getting the supplies and doing it yourself. You’ll only pay $0.05 to $0.20 per linear foot if you DIY this one. Finally, different types of caulk don’t vary too much in price, with most tubes costing no more than $15 apiece (but typically only $3 to $10) at the most. 

There are several ways to reduce noise coming through your windows. You can seal gaps around the window frames with acoustic caulk or fresh weatherstripping to reduce noise and air leaks. Installing sound-dampening curtains, thick blinds, or shades can also help deaden sound vibrations. For an additional interior barrier, consider installing an acrylic or plexiglass sheet inside the window, which stifles sound while still allowing for outdoor views. Another strategy is to add external barriers, like dense shrubbery or a sturdy fence, to block neighborhood noises. If these methods are not effective enough, it might be time to install new noise-canceling windows.

Whether you need a permit to install a bay window depends on the project's scope. Replacing an existing bay window typically does not require a permit. However, if you are adding a new bay window, requirements can vary. Adding a new bay window to the front of your house usually requires a building permit, while adding one to the side or back of your house often does not. It's always best to check with your local municipality to confirm the specific requirements in your area. Additionally, if you live in a historic district, you should consult your neighborhood association to ensure your project complies with their construction guidelines. If you're unsure about the process, a professional can provide guidance.

Casement window types differ from standard windows in that they have a hinge on the side or the top of the window so that it can open inwards or outwards. If your casement windows open upward, they usually have a crank to operate them. Casement windows with side hinges typically operate like a door, opening and closing without a crank.
