"Two lovely ladies came around to talk to us about window replacement. We didn't need any windows, but we very much needed a new sliding glass door. They were very patient with all our questions and concerns and even stayed late so they could talk to both of us. Thank you so much Hope and Elise!"
"From start to finish my experience with Mad City windows was excellent, from calling to get an appointment for estimate, for measurement of windows and installation. Everyone was pleasant, knowledgeable and proficient. The windows were in stalled in one day with all the old windows and site cleaned. The windows look great. I am very happy with the entire procedure. From start to finish was 6 weeks."
"The installers were great. The salesperson made promises that he did not keep and he missed a window. When the person came to measure he also didn’t catch that I was having all my windows done except one. The windows look great. The response when I notified the co that one window was missed was very fast but added to my cost."
"great group of guys from start to finish. had the window out so they put plasric up to help keep the cold out, they kept checking with us to make sure we were not to cold.Checked the work through out the project to make sure all was good.. When finished they with us checked to make sure window did not stick when trying to crank it to open. The 2 workres left as they had completed the job, and in a matter of minutes their boss called to wanting to come over to check things out. I would HIGHLY RECCOMMEND THIS GROUP FOR YOUR PROJECTS."
"They are very good came to measure a few times for the siding, windows & insulation. Send me e-mails with the progress in ordering & shipping. windows & insulation are being done tomorrow 7/7/17. Siding will be done in a few weeks."
"Our project was actually a crawlspace encapsulation. We have a lake cabin that was built in the 1960's. It had a dirt floor in the crawlspace with bare block masonry foundation walls. It also had old, damp batt insulation that was falling down from the joist spaces. American Waterworks came in, removed the old insulation (a nasty job!), laid down a 2 layer moisture barrier system and spray foamed the foundation walls and rim joist area. I can't believe what a difference this has made to our air quality, much warmer floors. We used to have to wipe down the windows every morning during the winter because of condensation. Not any more! I would highly recommend this company if you have the same needs!!"

"Greg was able to squeeze us in the day after I called him. He arrived earlier than expected and quickly fixed the window at a very reasonable price. This is the 2nd time we have used him and will continue to call him for any glass repair needs in the future. "
"I rate them high overall. They gave a good price for the windows and were little expensive for the shower door and the bathroom door. They really did a fine work. When they did the windows they were picky doing the measuring but they brought it on time. It had to be customer designed, so it took a few weeks. They had to remove the old window. They had to be very careful while removing the trim around it. I was very pleased with them. I am glad they did the work."
Picture windows are still in style, even though they are one of the oldest types of windows. Other windows, like single- or double-hung windows and casement windows, have increased in popularity because they can open up for fresh air. However, homeowners still love the way a picture window can frame their lush outdoor garden or other pleasant neighborhood views.
Rotting wood, frame misalignment, or damaged seals often require attention.
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, it isn’t necessary to have energy-efficient windows. However, if you care about your energy bill and making your windows more energy efficient, fixing any heat, UV, or air transfer issues is an excellent way to lower your bills and keep your house cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
There are many standard window sizes. The most common windows, single or double-hung models, typically range from 2-feet by 3-feet up to 4-feet by 6-feet. Of course, sliding windows will be wider than they are tall, though the standard sizing follows the same measurements.
