First measured all windows to make sure that they had the correct windows to match my house. they then took out the old windows an installed the new windows. They continued to work throughout the day taking out a window and replacing the new window. then cleaned up all the old stuff and took it away. they did a good job and explained what they were doing as they did it. The two guys completed the job in day."

"I wanted to reduce the solar effects of the southern and western exposure windows in my new house not only because of the heat in the summer, but also because of the harmful UV light and the fading it would cause to my new furniture. My realtor recommended Michigan Glass Coatings and wow, I'm so glad he did! From the start of the in-home quote by Jordan to the installation by Jordan and Aaron today, I'm beyond happy! I found them to be friendly, knowledgeable, professional and neat and also VERY accommodating when I made a change midway through the installation. An added benefit of the film I chose is that the skin cancer foundation recommends it as an effective UV protectant. It's no wonder Michigan Glass Coatings have been in business for over 40 years. I highly recommend Michigan Glass Coatings!"
"Mr. Ferrell first connected his computer to my computer via internet and worked for quite a few hours trying to determine what exactly was wrong. The next day he continued working from his computer for several hours. He determined he would have to have my desktop tower to complete the repair. He and my son met in Huntsville to exchange the tower. He then cleaned up a lot of what was wrong and reloaded Windows 10. He deleted the D: drive which had way too much memory allotted to it. The tower was returned and I plugged it all back together and it is working better than it did when I first purchased it. I would use him again and I recommend him highly to anyone needing computer updating and/or repair. His work is warrantied and he is very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful."
"Install was easy. Up front cost was pretty low with Angie's List coupon. Monthly price is a little high compared to competing companies. Response time with alarms is excellent. I was advised to use glass break alarms within 10 ft of my first floor windows, which we installed correctly. I asked prior to installation if having one in the kitchen would cause false alarms due to dishes clanging, etc. I was told the glass break alarms are configured to a precise frequency that alarms with breaking glass. So, not a "no", but not really an answer. Well, every time we cook dinner, wash dishes or empty the dish washer, the kitchen glass break alarm gives a warning which would sound the alarm if it was set. This has caused us a number of false alarms while we've been away due to shifting bowls or plates in our drying rack. For the first several we've had to pay our police department $120 to check the house, and I was only notified after the first alarm that there was a cheaper option for a security company to drive by to check for a break in."
"The crawlspace of our house we purchased about a year ago was damp and often had standing water in it. Because the house is near a lake, the water table is very high and water is not uncommon. Unfortunately, all the standing water drove the humidity of the house very high to the 60s and 70s year round! I contacted Stay Dry to give me an estimate along with another provider. Wayne from Stay Dry provide me with great information about the problem and how it could be solved. The cost of doing this work is not cheap, but the risk of damage to the structure of our home is what convinced me to move forward. In the winter, the window would have a great deal of condensation around them which isn't good for them either. The cost was on par with the other provide I met with, but this solution seemed more complete. The work took about four days to complete. Stay Dry sent a great crew of five men, led by Spencer, who made residence in the three foot high crawl space for the next four days. First they lined the carpet and walls with protective materials. The entrance to the crawl space was in one of the bedroom, down a hall of white carpeting. Once lined the work began by clearing out all of the fallen insulation and any other random debris from down below. Next all of the wires were cleaned up and tidied up. All the debris had to be carried out in five gallon buckets through the house as there isn't external access to the space. Next, they dug by hand a 110 feet of trench, lined it with fabric and then stone (stone was carried in a five gallon bucket at a time) and finally the drainage pipe itself. Once that was complete the entire space was lined with and sealed with a heavy duty liner (think swimming pool liner material). The crawlspace was unbelievably clean when they were finished. The liner is white so instead of dark sandy/mud floor, it was white liner. No more rain boots to go down in the space. The sumps were installed and set to drain to the exterior of the house. The pumps that were installed have a battery back up as well as a system that will text me if there is a problem with the pumps. It also tells me the amount of water that is pumped out of the space each day. I am floored by how much it pumps! When the work was done in January, it was too cold to do the final part of the job which was to foam the rim joists. The crew came back in April once it warmed up and completed the rest of the work. Humidity in the house has dropped to the mid-30% range. The crawl space is actually usable for storage and going down there for wiring or mechanical work is a breeze. Once all of the protective materials were removed from the carpet and walls, everything was spotless. Everything was in the exact same shape as before the project. The crew worked incredibly hard in what are not desirable conditions. The solution did everything I wanted it to do and everything Wayne said it would do. It is not inexpensive, but for the interior of our house and the overall health of our house, it was well worth it. While I hope I don't have to ever do this project again, I would use Stay Dry again if I did. "
Garden windows last about 15 to 30 years, depending on the materials, ongoing maintenance, and local climate. Fiberglass and wood windows tend to have the longest life spans as long as you keep up with cleaning, lubricating, and refinishing them. Make sure to inspect your windows about once a year for signs of trouble, like worn-out seals, frame damage, or cracks in the panes.
Yes, professional window cleaners will clean the surface of the glass on both the inside and the outside. They will usually clean the tracks for your windows, check and clean the weatherstripping, and even disassemble parts of your window, if necessary, to clean and lubricate interior components and moving parts.
The type of casement window you have depends on where the hinges are located, the number of sashes, the style, and how the windows open. Single casement windows are popular casement windows that use a handle or crank to open. If you have two casement windows side by side, you likely have double casement windows.
Windows that swing inward can tip you off to having in-swing casement windows, while windows that open from the bottom and swing outwards are top-hinged. If you can open your windows by pushing them outwards like a door, you may have a type of push-out window.
It is legal to put bars on windows in most places, but it depends on the type of bars you choose and the regulations in your area. For example, there are building codes in Mississippi, California, and Texas that forbid the use of permanently closed burglar bars on windows due to concerns about people getting trapped inside during fires.
Expect excavation below grade, creating a well for access, weatherproofing, and thorough inspections during setup.
