"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."

"If I could give Yann and Pro Warrior Construction 10 stars I would! I can't say enough great things about Yann Oliveira and his team at Pro Warrior. They recently completed an addition to my house, including installing new windows, siding, flooring, tile, finish trim work, paint, insulation and roofing- and the results are absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, Yann was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to all the details. He worked with me to ensure the design and materials were exactly what I wanted, and his communication was on point throughout the entire process. The work was completed on time and within budget, which is always challenging in construction projects. His employees were incredibly respectful, kind, clean and left the job site spotless at the end of every shift making it look like they weren't even there. The quality of the craftsmanship is outstanding. The addition looks seamless, and the new windows, siding, and roof have completely transformed the look of my home. Thank you Yann and team for the impeccable work done in my house. I could not have asked for a better professional. I am not the one to take the time and write reviews, perhaps I feel that this company deserves all the compliments possible. I am extremely happy with the end result of my project. If you are looking for a reliable, honest, knowledgeable contractor don't look any further. Pro Warrior is YOUR PLACE!!!"
"Ryan did excellent work! He is meticulous in his approach to his work, diligently paying attention to details. He is an excellent craftsman and a great individual! He presents as highly professional and genuine!"
You will need about half of a caulking cartridge to caulk one window. The average home has eight to 10 windows, so you would need about 4 or 5 cartridges to caulk every window in an average-sized house. However, you may not need to caulk all the windows at once. If just one window has a pesky draft, you may only need half of a cartridge to fill in the gaps.
The disadvantages of putting plastic over your windows are that they are time-consuming to install and don’t always have the aesthetic that you may be looking for. The plastic is lightweight and not at all sturdy, so if you have kids or pets, the plastic can rip easily, meaning you’ll need to replace it often. It also doesn’t allow for the freedom of window movement that window film or shades offer. The single advantage that plastic window coverings have is that they are inexpensive and can be simple to install.
No, not every window has movable sashes. Many fixed or stationary windows that were intended only to provide views and sunlight still have inoperable sashes that allow them to match the rest of the windows in a home. These are called sash-set fixed windows. They are created by glazing a window into a sash that is secured to a frame.
Shatter-resistant glass will ensure that even with a high impact, the glass of your window panes is less likely to break. If you’re looking for a more low-cost way to prevent vandalism, the most traditional answer would be to board up windows with a strong plywood sheet. Adding security cameras is also a surefire way to ward off potential vandalism.
If the existing frame around the window sash is completely structurally sound, it's possible to save money by swapping out the sash for a new one instead of getting a new window. Keep in mind that it will be necessary to find a new sash that perfectly matches your existing window structure. In general, consulting a window pro to help you find the right match is the best way to ensure you're doing this project correctly.
