"I donâ t normally write positive reviews. But, The guy I dealt with (Ernie) really made this easy for my wife, which made it even easier for me. Reviewed our options , educated us on the products, and was very responsive. My wife had originally wanted a more expensive shade but Ernie actually suggested some other options which were cheaper. Who does that ? Somebody I would work with again. Thanks for the help."

Basements are generally required to have windows for your safety. At a minimum, windows should provide an egress in the event of a fire. But basement windows do more than offer a way out; basement windows also offer natural light and ventilation in an area of your home that is otherwise dark and musty.
Regular cleaning, non-abrasive cleaners, and scheduling professional services every few months help maintain clarity and shine.
Yes, it is generally better and more cost-effective to replace all your windows at once. Contractors often lower the per-window labor and material costs for larger projects, saving you money in the long run. Installers may also quote a flat rate for overhead, making multiple small jobs more expensive than one large one.
Replacing all windows simultaneously offers other advantages:
Aesthetics and Home Value: It creates a cohesive style and uniform energy efficiency, which is appealing to potential home buyers.
Efficiency: The entire replacement process, which can take several weeks, is completed in a single, more efficient project.
However, replacing all windows requires a significant upfront investment. While you can replace just a few windows, experts recommend replacing at least five to eight at a time to avoid high overhead costs. An exception is when a single window is damaged; in that case, it can be replaced on its own.
Yes, egress windows are grandfathered. However, this comes with some specifications. If you are remodeling a basement or adding a sleeping area, you’ll need to update the egress windows to be up to proper code. But, if you’re leaving your home as is, you do not have to adhere to these requirements.
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.
