"Premier is the best, and I love being able to recommend a company so confidently. Steve is hands on, exceeds expectations, offers great cost conscious recommendations about where to spend and where to save and delivers high quality work. His team is similarly dependable and very competent. I used Premier to replace the windows on my 1920's cottage back in 2018, and then hired him again to reside my home just a few weeks ago. He beat his own timeline and his price was as good or better than all of the three other companies from which I got quotes. Highly recommend!"
"I highly recommend Windo-Well Cover Co. They were here when they said they would be, came prepared do the job even if it rained, and went above and beyond by cleaning out the window well before installing the cover. I am happy with the look of the cover, but am especially pleased with the strenth and durability of the cover. We will use them again to cover additional window wells."
"F and A did a fantastic job cleaning our windows and doors! The communication was great, they arrived on time and cleaned every glass surface, sills, and screens until they looked almost new. It was wonderful to walk into the house and see the sun and plants through sparkling clean windows. We will hire F and A to clean our windows every spring!"
"Team from Power completed the work on time and cleaned up well after work was completed. Windows were measured correctly so replacement windows fit perfectly and were quality Pella windows versus no-name windows offered by other vendors."
"Matt was amazing. He fixed my window in freezing cold weather at no cost and had it done in under 5 minutes. Super kind, efficient, and clearly knows what he’s doing. Really grateful for his help. Highly recommend!!"
"Sun Control does an amazing job on window tinting. Our tinted windows look great and also have cut our electric bill in half!!! Customer service was excellent. Installer was polite and honest. I would highly recommend Sun Control."
"The window cleaning technician was very professional and efficient. He asked questions when needed and followed all of our instructions. The windows and storm windows in our 2-flat were left sparkling clean."
"Very personable man, does good work and was in and out. He was prompt and did what he said he would do. His firm is also going to clean my windows next."
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.
Windows provide light and a view of the outdoors without the inconveniences that the outside world can come with, like noise, rain, snow, and unpleasant scents. Vinyl windows also provide energy efficiency thanks to their insulating properties, keeping your home at its coziest temperature no matter what season it is. They’re also excellent noise dampeners, so your interior space can stay calm and quiet.
Casement windows are safer against intruders than double-hung windows because they are extremely difficult to pry open from the outside. However, if you’re concerned about young kids or pets, double-hung windows have safety features you might prefer. With double-hung windows vs. single-hung or casement windows, you can lock the bottom sash and open just the top sash to keep children and dogs or cats safe.
Yes, you can use glass cleaner on outside windows, but only after you’ve rinsed away as much debris as possible. Using glass cleaner on top of a layer of dirt will only make it harder to clean.
You should board up windows when you need to protect your home either from intruders after a window breaks or from severe weather before you experience damage. To maintain home security with a broken window, get your window boarded immediately. If there’s a hurricane, tropical storm, or tornado expected in your area, board your windows a day or two beforehand to avoid emergency service fees.
