"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."

"Konstantin has become our first call when we have any questions about our house. He personally came to our home and spent a few hours talking with me about possible solutions to the many problems our Cape Cod home had. In the end, the investment of time and money was substantial, but we could not be more happy with the end result: new windows, siding, roof, doors and an extensive interior architectural reconstruction that no one else wanted to touch. The entire Kreative Barnes team is professional, friendly, respectful and talented. Whoever is able to secure Konstantin's expertise will be very happy they did."
"We first met Nick last April when we were looking to have some trim boards, windows and cedar shingles replaced. He came out right away and spent well over an hour with us going over what we needed and what he thought was in good condition. He was very knowledgeable. He gave us a fair quote and we hired him. Nick started the job when he said he would. His work ethic speaks volumes. We had such a good experience with Nick and his crew that we mentioned we were doing wood flooring throughout our main floor, the remaining old windows, demo an existing rock fireplace and demo and install a kitchen. He once again gave us a fair estimate and time frame. He started when he said he would and left the house clean. He even set up a makeshift kitchen for us and left us his own personal convection burner. He's thoughtful and his coworker Andy is just as thoughtful. Don't hesitate to hire NGB carpentry. You won't regret it."

Yes, every window needs a lintel. The lintel is necessary for redistributing the load above the window to the walls around the window. Windows aren’t meant to support a load, so lintels are an important part of a window installation. If you go to replace your windows and discover there are no lintels, you may need a window company or structural engineer to install lintels for your new windows.
