"I contacted Scott Harlow through Angi and I couldnâ t be more pleased with his work. Scott removed the old film on 15 of my sunroom windows and replaced it with new UV and heat retardant film. The windows look fantastic. Not only is Scottâ s work excellent, but he is also very pleasant, prompt and a true expert at his craft. I recommend him highly and without reservation."
"With the frosted tent I have privacy but it still allows in the natural light. The two men that came to install the 10 roof professional, courteous, and weâ re well-qualified in the replication.The only thing I would suggest is the installers have some kind of disposable shoe protection when they come into a home for installation during inclement weather."
"The installers came on time and were totally professional, experienced and worked continuously until the job was done. The triple pane windows are fabulous because compared to our old two pane faulty windows, not only are they solid and beautiful with no wind blowing through, but also the nearby road noise is greatly reduced. We needed to use plastic film to insulate the old windows and when the wind blew the plastic would billow like sails! The new windows make our condo seem like a true home."
"Over fifteen years, I originally met him for window install estimate, and we have been using him ever since for several of my properties! He is quick to respond to any necessary repairs and emergencies, should you have them come up!"
"Renewal by Andersen of Wyoming did an incredible job with installing windows in our home. Thank you to the team who did the install and to the company for creating these exceptional windows."
"Marco and his partner did an outstanding job. He arrived on time, worked diligently, and we paid the agreed amount. He was exceedingly thorough. At one point, I joked, "Where did the window panes go?!" They were that clean. Yes, I would hire again, without reservation."
"Boost Construction cares about your home. From when Ed first came to our home, to the incredible work of Slav and his team, there was very thoughtful attention to detail. The price was reasonable, especially for the premium insulated vinyl siding we were interested in. Ed sent us an estimate promptly and answered our many questions. We did not feel like just another job. The quality work they advertised exceeded expectations in every way. Slavâ s expert craftsmanship made our home look fantastic. He and his team work hard, accommodating any requests and intuitively bringing up anything worth your input. Our large home has many complicated angles, which I wondered how a siding company could ever tackle them. Needless to say, they did so wonderfully and are more than capable of helping you with your home too. Please give them a call, as they will care about your home as much as you do."
"Todd is always reliable, efficient, and effective. He has helped me with numerous jobs including installing a new doorbell, winterizing my camper, cleaning my gutters, replacing chimney caps, repairing outdoor lighting, flushing my hot water heater and many more. Iâ ve been working with Todd for 3 years and heâ s always the first person I call when I need any help around my house. Great communication, upfront pricing and always shows up when he says he will. As a single mom, I know I can trust him to be honest, fair and get me the best price on materials. Highly recommended."
Whether or not you need permission to change the windows in your house depends on your local laws. If you’re enlarging an opening or installing a new window and need to make structural changes to the house, you’ll need a permit. In most locations, you won’t need permission if you’re just replacing a window with another window of the same size. The window installation company you work with will be able to help you navigate any planning permits you may need.
Awning windows can have screens, but it depends on your manufacturer. If your awning window does have a screen, it will be on the interior side so it doesn’t get in the way when you crank the window open. Having the screen on the inner part of the window also makes it easier to clean from inside your home.
The primary benefits of an egress window include providing a safe emergency exit, increasing natural light in a space like a basement, and improving ventilation. Additionally, installing an egress window can often increase your property's value.
The material around a window is simply called the window frame, but the individual pieces also have different names. The top portion of the frame is called the head, the side pieces are called jambs, and the bottom portion is called the sill. If you have multiple windows next to each other, you’ll also have a mullion, which is the frame piece that separates the individual windows. Windows stacked on top of each other are separated by a horizontal frame piece, which is called a transom.
If your windows are drafty, fogging up between panes, or hard to open or close, it might be time for a replacement. Unexplained increases in your energy bills, rotting frames, broken seals, and noticeable noise from outside can also indicate it’s time for new windows. In addition, if you find yourself frequently needing to repair your windows, it’s probably more cost-effective in the long run to replace them.
