"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. "

A bay window usually has two small windows on the edges that angle outward from the exterior wall and a large window in the middle that’s parallel to the home’s exterior wall.
Windows provide light and a view of the outdoors without the inconveniences that the outside world can come with, like noise, rain, snow, and unpleasant scents.

Awning windows can have screens, but it depends on your manufacturer.

However, some manufacturers may refer to the rough opening instead of the framed opening when listing sizes. Always confirm which measurement a manufacturer is using before ordering windows.
Most properly installed and maintained windows last between 15 and 20 years. Fiberglass windows last much longer than your average window.

On the other hand, poorly maintained wood windows may only last for a few years.
