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."

"Our deck was in poor shape and needed to be resurfaced. Asa pointed out some additional issues that other contractors did not find. Asa's price was slightly higher than other contractors (even with the other issues deducted). We elected to go with Asa as result of the review's on Angles List. He was pleasant to work with and was clear on changes when needed and made sure to provide cost estimates for the additional work. Quality of workmanship was excellent. Would recommend him for your project. "

Steel windows are durable and last a long time, but not in all weather conditions. If you live near the ocean, these windows might not be the best choice, as the saltwater breeze can corrode the metal. Steel windows are also more expensive than other types of windows. However, with that high price point comes a sleek, distinctive design that many homeowners find appealing, especially for modern decor. You can also restore steel windows to get a longer lifespan from them, so they can last longer than vinyl, aluminum, and even wood.

The exact value added depends on your specific home, location, and adherence to local building codes. Beyond financial value, egress windows enhance functionality by adding natural light and comfort.
