Customers say: Terrific value

"We hired Rudy to replace our rotted basement window sills and our rickety basement stairs. We are quite pleased with the results of both projects. The basement stairs, especially, turned out to be magnificent. Based on our experience, we would not hesitate to hire Rudy for future work."

"I recently hired Alex to remodel my bathroom, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. He is a true professional when it comes to tiling and plumbing. The quality of his work exceeded my expectations, and he paid attention to every detail. Alex was punctual, reliable, and a pleasure to work with. I would absolutely hire him again for future projects and highly recommend his services"

"I am so happy with my Made in the Shade experience. Will is great at what he does, he made the whole project so easy. He is knowledgeable about all different types and brands of blinds, and he helped me decide what would be best for our house. He was professional and friendly, he did a great job cleaning up after himself during the installation, and the price was way better than I could find anywhere else. I would highly recommend using Made in the Shade if you re looking for blinds or any other type of window coverings!"

Window Treatments questions, answered by experts

Glazing is always done from the outside of the window, while the inside doesn’t require any glazing. This is because the main purpose of glazing is to create a weather-tight seal where the glass meets the frame, protecting against drafts and moisture. Since the exterior is exposed to the elements, that’s the side that needs the weatherproofing.

Mulled windows are no less efficient than individual windows, provided the wall opening is the same size. Larger wall openings filled with glass will always reduce overall energy efficiency, as glass transmits heat more readily than a solid wall. If the windows that are mulled together have the same square footage as individual windows, you might actually see a small decrease in your electric bills, as mulled windows let in more natural light that can reduce interior lighting costs.

Casement windows can either be left or right opening, and every window manufacturer makes both so that you can choose which works best for your space. In many cases, you’ll want one left-opening and one right-opening casement window to sit on either side of a picture window or to act as the side panels in a bay window. Just remember that the direction is described from the curb. An FCL (from the curb left) hinges out to the left if you’re looking at the exterior of your home, and an FCR (from the curb right) hinges out to the right.

Window capping costs between $1 and $2 per linear foot. Since your average window size is 24 by 36 inches, you’re looking at 10 linear feet in total, or $10 to $20 per window. Labor adds another $30 to $100 per hour to the project. If you have custom windows, you’ll spend more to have your windows capped. Fiberglass tends to cost more than vinyl and aluminum, while vinyl costs the least but has the shortest lifespan and may have a higher long term cost.

The best time to remove and restore old windows is during temperate weather. Late spring and the early onset of winter are ideal seasons. While summer has its challenges (e.g., bugs, heat, and dust), it’s also a good time to do restoration work. The worst time to restore old windows is during the winter, especially if it is particularly cold and snowy.
