"Everything went very well. They performed the work in about 8 hours and cleaned up completely. The windows perform very smoothly with little effort up and down. The installation was done very professionally including enlarging one window opening. They protected the flooring and seemed to care about doing a good job."

"Joe Oswalt was very knowledgeable with the product he was selling. He gave us a very nice demonstration on how Hansons windows could save us money. We were sold, so he measured all the windows and filed all the paperwork then gave us a good price. We were still kind of hesitant and he gave us a Special Price and we could not refuse. We got set up for remeasure of the windows and soon they will be in. I can't wait the money we will be saving on heating/cooling bills is going onto the payments. Paying them off quickly and increasing the value of our home. Thank you Hansons!"

"We recently had privacy film installed on our windows, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, the team was incredibly friendly, professional, and easy to work with. They took the time to explain everything, arrived on time, and treated our home with care. The installation itself was flawless-- the windows look amazing, and the film gives us exactly the look and privacy we were hoping for. It's rare these days to find a business that combines both genuine kindness and top-notch workmanship, but they truly delivered on both. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone considering window film, and I'll definitely be calling them again in the future for any additional needs."

Windows questions, answered by experts

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.

The best way to clean outside windows is by using a garden hose. Start by spraying the windows with a high-pressure stream to clear off loose dirt and grime. Then use a mixture of hot water and dish soap and scrub the windows with a sponge. Rinse off the soapy water with the hose. Before you finish up, spray the windows with a solution of vinegar and water and wipe them down with a microfiber cloth.

The material around a window is simply called the window frame, but the individual pieces also have different names. The top portion of the frame is called the head, the side pieces are called jambs, and the bottom portion is called the sill. If you have multiple windows next to each other, you’ll also have a mullion, which is the frame piece that separates the individual windows. Windows stacked on top of each other are separated by a horizontal frame piece, which is called a transom.

In short, it depends. After 20 years, the glass in your windows is less energy efficient, which can cause increased electricity bills. You might also see signs of water damage or natural wear and tear over the years. However, with proper maintenance, some window frames can last up to 50 years, so you may only need to replace the glass to save on energy. 

At the same time, window replacement is a major investment, so replacing the glass in rooms most impacted by outdoor temperatures is one way to avoid going all-in to replace your windows.

Depending on the window style and your home's layout, you can install replacement windows from either the inside or the outside. Many installations are done from the inside because it allows for better access and weather protection, but some exterior installs are easier for certain types of siding or trim. The key is choosing the approach that gives you the best access to the frame while keeping the existing structure intact.
