"Jamil did good work, well priced. Like how he installed mini strips about 12-18 inch tall going across our window as samples, gave us a much better feel as to what the sample would actually look like, others gave us a 4x6 inch in sample to hold up to the window."

"My computer (Windows XP) was running very slow and had become almost inoperable. It was taking a very long time to process anything, especially anything to do with the internet. IE was taking 100% of the cpu most of the time. Jim worked on my computer remotely for several days defragging, cleaning, anti-virus, malware, etc., but could not get it to perform anywhere near where it should. We decided that I needed a new computer. Jim built me a new computer (Windows 7 with racing stripes). The new system works very well and I am pleased with it. When Jim switched my files over from old to new, the Kodak Easy-Share program with my pictures did not get transferred. He has promised to make that transfer when he installs a new door covering the DVD reader which was broken upon setup. I will update this review when this occurs. I am very pleased with the new system and would do it all over again if a similar situation were present. "
"Sales process was good, courteous and helpful. Installation instructions were easy to follow. Did have a small issue with one sensor which was easily solved with a call. Control panel is easy to use and well constructed. Phone app is the best part. Not a big fan of a 2 year contract and the monthly rate feels a little high, but definitely a decent system. I had emailed them a question pertaining installing on double hung windows and never received a reply, but other than that their phone support prior to that was good."
"The claim process was so smooth. We submitted the claim for each service online and we got response Email with the appointment time and mechanic detail. The technicians showed up within the appointment window and did a good job. We are overall happy with the Choice warranty for the price and value."
"The original windows (from 1974) were removed and the replacement windows installed. In the front of the house these were triple paned because I face a highway. In the back of the house I just got double paned. The windows are all double hung. The house is now significantly quieter than it was before. I also know that my heating and cooling bills will be much less. The windows tilt in for cleaning. One of the things I like the best is that the screens are practically invisible. I didn't even realize they were already in and said something about when the screens are installed and was told the screens are already in. Love the views out the windows now -- so clear. I absolutely love the patio door. On the original one the screen did not completely close so I always worried about creepy crawly things coming into the house and the glass door did not lock so I had to use a bar to lock it. This one is so smooth on the track and the screen and the glass door both lock. All of the windows and the door have very tight seals around them. I expected the installers at 8 am and at 8:30am I called the company to make sure they were coming. The install also took longer for them to complete but that was because they had to go and pick up the slider. I was fine with that -- prefer that things be done right not necessarily fast. They pulled into the drive right when I hung up. The installers were as unobtrusive as they could be. They cleaned up after themselves and even vacuumed! A few days after the install the owner (Matt) called to see if everything was working correctly. I told him I wasn't sure if the exterior trim had been completed. He came right over to check. It was done correctly but he agreed to have additional caulking added to the windows that faced the highway. I had been thinking about replacement windows and then it was a BIG DEAL on Angie's list. The price was great for the quality of the window. I was originally going to just have the front windows replaced but when I asked what the additional 2 windows and patio door would cost I couldn't pass it up. Totally professional group of people. Will recommend to family and friends. "
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.
Drafts, condensation between panes, difficulty operating, or visible frames or glass damage are signs of needed repairs.
A good U-factor for windows is 0.30 or lower, but they can range from 0.20 to 1.20. A general rule of thumb when it comes to the U-factor is that the lower, the better.
Yes, including the frame instead of just referring to the glass opening for window dimensions is the standard. However, some manufacturers may refer to the rough opening instead of the framed opening when listing sizes. Always confirm which measurement a manufacturer is using before ordering windows.
Yes, you can create a solution of dish soap and hot water to create a cleaning solution. You’ll want to mix about one to two drops of dish soap for every 8 ounces of hot water. If you use too much soap, it’ll create too many suds and make it harder to effectively wash away.
