"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."

"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.
"John did an excellent job. I mentioned that I was going to paint the flashing black but he suggested to wait a month and the flashing will look as though it was part of the original window and he was 100% correct. He called a few weeks later to inquire if everything was still OK"
When comparing impact windows vs. hurricane shutters, it’s important to consider the protection and installation details to determine the right choice for you. For constant protection against storms and flying debris, impact windows are a better option than hurricane shutters, especially if you don’t want to install shutters that will change the look of your house. However, impact windows are more costly than hurricane shutters. If you want a budget-friendly option that’s still protective against storms, hurricane shutters are a solid option.
Rotting wood, frame misalignment, or damaged seals often require attention.
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. Vinyl windows also provide energy efficiency thanks to their insulating properties, keeping your home at its coziest temperature no matter what season it is. They’re also excellent noise dampeners, so your interior space can stay calm and quiet.
The amount of time window lintels last is based on the environment they’re installed in and the material that’s installed. For example, a steel lintel installed in a temperate climate will always last longer than a wooden or brick lintel installed in an area with tons of rain, snow, and wind. No matter which material you choose or where you live, proper maintenance will ensure your lintels last as long as possible.
Whether or not it's worth it to install double-hung windows depends on several key factors. First, double-hung windows cost more than single-hung windows, so if you’re looking to lower costs, you might find it more worthwhile to choose single-hung windows. If you want the lowest maintenance requirements, though, double-hung windows are easier to clean.
Double-hung windows also offer better ventilation, making them a good option for bathrooms and kitchens. Single-hung windows have better energy efficiency than double-hung windows because they have only one moving part.
