"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."
"This work was completed on a domestic violence shelter that houses approximately 20 people on the lower level. When FRS was contacted, we had mold on the walls, and mushrooms growing on the carpet. It was in very bad shape. We were no longer allowing people to reside on the lower level. They said they could get the moisture out and they really did. They were prompt, fast, and very clean. There was cement coming in through the windows and machinery everywhere. We thought we would be cleaning up forever, but we only had a little sweeping to do before we could start putting our new floor in. They are very good at what they do. It has been two years and with all of the flooding outside, there has not been any sign of moisture. We have been very surprised by the entire process."
"It was my pleasure to work with Tyler Asbury. I was impressed with his intelligence and professionalism. I have an old 1934 farmhouse that requires knowledge of how to work with 'old century' systems. Tyler did a great job rewiring the electrical cords, relocating light fixtures, and repairing the old window frame. He saved me a significant amount of money by suggesting and installing a metal structure on the external door for security purposes, rather than purchasing a new one. I am happy with the outcomes of his work. He is dependable, and his service is reasonably priced. I am going to hire him for my future projects and recommend Taylor to other Angie's clients."

"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."
This is a revised post. I contracted with Siding Repair Systems (headquartered in O’Fallon, MO) in June 2015 for the removal and replacement of the wood siding on my two story house with James Hardie Siding (8" Hardie Lap Color +). The estimate was for 2458 square feet of siding, 330 feet of soffit/fascia and 235 feet of 5" gutters and downspouts. Mr. Cory Feco, principal/owner, met with me to provide contract and cost details in late June 2015 prior to signing the contract. The installation window specified in the contract was a starting date NLT August 15 and a completion date NLT Sept 21. The contracted cost of the job was just under $ 26,000 and a $ 1,000 deposit was provided to get the job scheduled. The contract specified a payment of 20% upon material delivery, a payment of 30% at halfway completion and the balance upon satisfactory completion of the job.
Siding Repair Systems called on Friday, August 21 and said that a crew would show up to begin the work on Monday, August 24. The crew showed up on August 24. Branch Manager Paul Dickens reviewed the work plan with me that morning. The siding materials were delivered that afternoon. The crew immediately commenced removal of the old siding. Project Coordinator Cash Stricker showed up that afternoon to check in and see how the work was proceeding.
The crew was diligent in their work. They showed up promptly every morning, worked hard and kept the jobsite (my yard) relatively clean and organized. The attention showed by Branch Manager Paul Dickens and Project Coordinator Cash Stricker during the prosecution of the work was timely, appropriate and appreciated.
The only detract was that about a week after completion of the fascia/trim painting, I noted exposed (unpainted) wood on the soffit above my garage. I called Branch Manager Paul Dickens and left a voice mail about this issue. Mr. Dickens did not returned my call. I also mentioned this issue to Mr. Stricker and he said that he would get back to me. He never got back to me. This unpainted soffit issue remains unresolved. My take-away is to be sure that a thorough final inspection is performed and that all issues have been resolved before final payment is made. I would certainly use this company again but would delay final payment until all outstanding issues have been resolved.
The best time to remove and restore old windows is during temperate weather. Late spring and the early onset of winter are ideal seasons. While summer has its challenges (e.g., bugs, heat, and dust), it’s also a good time to do restoration work. The worst time to restore old windows is during the winter, especially if it is particularly cold and snowy.

There are several ways to reduce noise coming through your windows. You can seal gaps around the window frames with acoustic caulk or fresh weatherstripping to reduce noise and air leaks. Installing sound-dampening curtains, thick blinds, or shades can also help deaden sound vibrations. For an additional interior barrier, consider installing an acrylic or plexiglass sheet inside the window, which stifles sound while still allowing for outdoor views. Another strategy is to add external barriers, like dense shrubbery or a sturdy fence, to block neighborhood noises. If these methods are not effective enough, it might be time to install new noise-canceling windows.
There are many high-quality window companies on the market, although Andersen, Pella, and Marvin continue to be the most popular nationwide. Some brands, like Sunrise and Soft-Lite, are popular regionally but may not be available in all parts of the United States. When comparing brands, look for features like increased energy efficiency, strong and durable materials, and long-lasting and all-encompassing warranties.
A window may fail because of age, defective mechanisms, or moisture. Depending on the issue, the window may be fixed with simple repairs. Otherwise, you’ll have to invest in replacing it. You can avoid damaged windows but keeping up with window maintenance.
