"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."
Mulled windows are no less efficient than individual windows, provided the wall opening is the same size. Larger wall openings filled with glass will always reduce overall energy efficiency, as glass transmits heat more readily than a solid wall. If the windows that are mulled together have the same square footage as individual windows, you might actually see a small decrease in your electric bills, as mulled windows let in more natural light that can reduce interior lighting costs.
One of the best professional cleaning solutions that won’t leave streaks is one gallon of distilled or bottled water mixed with 2 to 4 teaspoons of dish soap. Apply using a sponge in a figure-eight motion, and then use a squeegee to remove the majority of the water and soap. You can finish drying with a piece of old black-and-white newspaper to remove any residue for a streak-free clean every time.
Egress windows require regular maintenance to ensure they function correctly. This includes cleaning the glass, inspecting the frame and well for debris, and making sure the cover or well drains properly. It is also important to check that the window sills and wells are watertight and to inspect and repair any damage to the window frame or seals to prevent leaks and maintain functionality.
Yes, triple-pane glass windows cost more than double or single-pane windows. You’ll eventually get that money back in energy savings. Depending on how much you pay for the installation, you could recoup your costs in 10 to 20 years. Triple-pane windows have extra layers of glass, which improve insulation and help save money in long-term heating and cooling costs.
The amount of time window lintels last is based on the environment they’re installed in and the material that’s installed. For example, a steel lintel installed in a temperate climate will always last longer than a wooden or brick lintel installed in an area with tons of rain, snow, and wind. No matter which material you choose or where you live, proper maintenance will ensure your lintels last as long as possible.
