"We had the windows in our top 2 levels replaced a couple years back with RBA and after experiencing the great customer service and quality of windows we decided to come back to finish updating our lower level windows. This experience was great from start to finish again. The windows and install are of high quality. Great care was given to strengthening the window wells upon installation."
"This company and employees were very helpful, polite and informative on updating and installing my front room window. It did take longer than usual for this project due to the fact that the window is no longer made in my size. So we had to wait for awhile. But it was worth the wait. Both my husband and I are greatly impressed with this company and our window. We have even had compliments on it. We also found that this window brings in more light than the old one. I will recommend this company to anyone who is looking for replacing or adding windows."
"The three man crew arrived at 8 am and got started immediately and installed 5 more windows(2nd time I hired them). They were finished by 12:30pm and were fast, efficient and very clean. they put down plastic and hauled away all the old windows and trash."
"Really great service, windows came in way quicker than we expected. The windows are absolutely gorgeous and match wood work perfectly. The sound of trains has diminished and I can already feel the difference inside the home. Great experience!!"

"Sooo....first, Jim is a very nice guy. However, Jim now works in Nashville during the week and is only home to the Huntsville area on the weekends. My first impression of him was that he was awesome. My computer system had crashed because I pulled the plug during a thunder storm before the computer fully shut down which resulted in the computer hanging up. Jim took my call while in Tennessee and suggested how to fix the system. For this I am very grateful.
What happened next was I had him come and check my computer to make sure everything was working properly. He came to my house and spent an hour tweaking it (basically running various checks on the system), for which I paid him $50. He suggested that my laptop would work much better if I had Windows 7 and increased my RAM up to 4 GB. He said he could install it for me for (including the RAM) for about $160. We met the following weekend for the handoff and he loaded Window 7. When I received the call it was ready, the bill was $227.50. I was surprised that is was $70 more than quoted, but paid it anyways. When I asked about the RAM, he mentioned he did not upgrade the RAM and this would be another $60. I was a little discouraged at that point since I felt like I was being taken advantage of, but the guy is relatively nice, so I said to go ahead and order the RAM. He did so and the following weekend was supposed to install it. Due to some personal things in his life, he wasn't able to install it, so I picked it up since I had to go out of town and could use the IT guy at my new location to install it for me. When we went to install the RAM, the system wouldn't let us do it since my particular type of laptop can only take 2GB of RAM max. If Jim had gone to the crucial.com website (where he bought my RAM) and entered my computer system on it, it would have told him the max amount of RAM that could be installed on that unit. He did not do that. He is supposed to refund my $60 this next weekend.
I think if Jim wasn't burning the candle at both ends by having a job in Tennessee during the week and trying to run this business on the weekends, it would've been a better experience. Perhaps taking a few extra minutes to SLOW DOWN and write out an estimate of everything he would need for the job including the prices would ensure people know up front how much the repair would/should cost so they can budget accordingly. I think if he had taken that approach, it might've been a better experience. So now I am stuck with a laptop that runs slower because Windows 7 uses more memory and a laptop that can't be upgraded to more RAM. Basically, the last step which cost me almost $300 was not necessary. If you need something simple done like coming back from a system crash, he would be okay to use. Otherwise, for the bigger jobs, I recommend he provide a written estimate with the items he plans to do.
UPDATE: After posting this review, I received a number of text messages from Jim commenting on the bad review. I understand he is upset, but harassing someone about a review is not a good way to go. My review was honest and not meant to be mean, but to let those that use Angie's list get what they pay for...an honest review of someone's experience."
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.
If you live in a colder region, consider installing double- or triple-pane windows with low-E coatings, which can trap heat and keep your house warm. In hot areas, windows with reflective coatings and insulated frames help keep cooling costs down. If you experience a lot of extreme weather, then impact-resistant glass might be a worthwhile investment.
High winds can be harmful to casement windows and all types of windows. Because casement windows can swing outward, high winds could slam the window against the side of the house, bend the hinges, or even rip the window off of the hinges. If you hear some strong gusts outside, it’s best to pull the casement windows shut until it all blows over.
Yes, you can fix windows without replacing them. However, this will depend on the severity of the issue and what your needs are. Minor water damage, broken glass, damaged casing, and worn caulking are usually easy repairs. But if there is excessive damage, the windows are constantly foggy, or the windows are very old, it’s best to consider replacing them. Replacement windows cost between $575 and $1,475 per window, or an average of $850 per window.
Most homeowners prefer to service their windows during the spring or fall when temperatures are the most bearable, and having large openings in your wall won’t drastically increase your heating and cooling bills. However, while these seasons are the most convenient, you’ll also tend to pay more for window repair due to the increased demand. If you want to reduce labor costs, consider making window repairs in the off-seasons. Avoid waiting until the heart of winter to do repairs, though, as you could run into leaks and heat loss issues.
