"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. "

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.
Expect excavation below grade, creating a well for access, weatherproofing, and thorough inspections during setup.
Wood windows will help keep an old home's charm, but they are more expensive and harder to maintain. Vinyl or fiberglass windows offer the best benefits in terms of durability and ease of care while still somewhat blending into the look and feel of an older home.
If the vinyl or fiberglass looks too out of place, consider adding shutters or something similar. The cost of plantation shutters is about $2,990, but the charm they bring to a home is unmatched.
Most homeowners prefer to service their windows during the spring or fall when temperatures are the most bearable, and having large openings in your wall won’t drastically increase your heating and cooling bills. However, while these seasons are the most convenient, you’ll also tend to pay more for window repair due to the increased demand. If you want to reduce labor costs, consider making window repairs in the off-seasons. Avoid waiting until the heart of winter to do repairs, though, as you could run into leaks and heat loss issues.
Visibility through tinted house windows or privacy film depends on the lighting. During the day, the tint or film typically prevents people from seeing inside. However, at night, if you have lights on inside your home, the interior will be brighter than the outside, which allows people to see in. You can choose from various shades of privacy film, from lighter to darker, to optimize the level of privacy you want.
