"If you stink at making windows shine without streaks, or if you just don't have the time or the inclination to do it yourself; hire Brighter Windows! I cannot clean a window to save my life! I tried, but I streak them, smear them and basically make a bigger mess than the dust/dirt that is on them. Richard took care of all of it! Even took out the screens, wiped them down and replaced them after the windows were done. He is super friendly and I did not feel uncomfortable having him in my home. I will recommend him to everyone! Our windows look fabulous!"
"My brother and, my father before him, have relied on the excellent work and competitive bids for the wrapping of soffit and eaves, basement window replacements and, most recently, the two bathrooms remodeled which my brother and his wife absolutely love. Because of that high recommendation, I always give Mid America Exteriors, and their great salesman and project coordinator, Seth, a chance at bids. The most recent bid was quite competitive for replacement windows, which are top of the line, but was not in my budget at the present time since I had higher priority improvements that needed to be done first. In the excitement of the great deal Seth made, I signed but had to back out days later because of the other things I needed to get done first. I would like to thank the owner, Dave Becker, for allowing me to back out of the deal. Dave is a excellent person and a perfect gentlemen and I can see why both my brother, and my father (God rest his soul) have relied on Mid America Exteriors for their needed home improvements over the past 20 years. They always put in very quality products and at very competitive price. I would recommend Mid America for whatever work you need to have done on your home. They should always be a go to for a bid. I hope to someday use them for a project on my own home. Thank you for the good work that you do."
"I’m so grateful that Jacob with Apex Remodeling came to my door that day (and that I answered ?). He advised me that one of my neighbors had hail damage that was covered by insurance that Apex had repaired, and would I like him to check my roof to see if my house was affected by the same storm? Not only did they confirm my roof was damaged and needed to be replaced, but they also pointed out the hail damage to my gutters and downspouts! Jacob dealt with my insurance company for me, making the whole process painless and stress free. He kept me thoroughly informed every step of the way, and helped when my insurance company dropped the ball. Apex showed up when they said they would, finished the work according to schedule, and my property was left tidy when they were finished. I absolutely recommend Apex and Jacob Carter without any reservations!"
"The installers were great. The salesperson made promises that he did not keep and he missed a window. When the person came to measure he also didn’t catch that I was having all my windows done except one. The windows look great. The response when I notified the co that one window was missed was very fast but added to my cost."
"Very good from start to finish. Office staff was great. Handyman knew what he was doing and was very professional. Cleaned up when he was done. Worth the money."

"Knowledgeable and efficient. John reviewed our issue and walked us through how he was going to fix it. He estimated his hours and materials and came in under his estimate. I would definitely recommend him."
Bifold windows work by using a track that allows panels to slide to the side and "stack" so they take up minimal space, leaving the largest opening. The sashes connect to each other with butt hinges or concealed hinges and to the window frame with the same type of hinges you’d find on a casement window. Some manual bifold windows also have casement stays or another piece of hardware to keep your windows in place when they’re open.
In addition to window well covers or bars, you can take a few more steps to boost basement window security. Try motion-activated lighting; it scares off potential intruders by lighting up when someone gets too close. Strengthening your window glass with impact-resistant security film can also deter forced entry. A dependable home security system with window sensors and cameras offers real-time monitoring and alerts for added protection. Lastly, fostering good relationships with neighbors can establish a supportive community watch network, enhancing your home's safety.
Typically, triple-pane windows made with krypton gas filling are the most energy efficient. A window’s frame, glass, design, and installation all affect its energy efficiency. These windows, in particular, are designed highly effectively in terms of their ability to insulate.
Bay windows and garden windows differ in both size and window angle. Garden windows are smaller than bay windows and extend from the house at 90-degree angles, creating a box-like shape. Bay windows, often much larger than garden windows, consist of three windows set at 25- to 45-degree angles to jut out from your home.
Awning windows are just like hopper windows except that they open the opposite way. Instead of opening inward, awning windows open outward with a hinge at the top. This creates a mini-awning within your window frame, which is where the name comes from. Hopper windows, on the other hand, open inward with a hinge at the bottom.
