"New ROOFS - 2 (this site gives only new windows as options). Great decision on our part: HGE offered best value for the price, including best warrantee. One week from initial home visit to completion. Incredible, really, when I think about all the moving parts throughout this project. Highly recommend HGE! And Mark Lassiter, Sales Rep on ESVA/Northampton County a d project manager Mark Johnson: you all knocked this one out the park."
"Happy House is awesome. I had maximum input into design of new decking, daily updates and a BEAUTIFUL result. My gutter replacement was fast and exceeded my expectations. I plan to use them for continued renovations- windows, doors and beyond!"
"I was in the process of getting a 50 year old house ready for sale. The hardwood floors were very dirty and it had been years since they were polished. S and K came out promptly, made a very fair cost estimate, and did the job promptly and professionally. When completed, the floors glistened!! It was such a difference. I have received many positive comments regarding the floors. Would recommend S and K without hesitation!! Also, the house sold! Julie J. in Newport News"

Was a great feeling to have a honest an fair price for the work. WILL DEFINITELY USE HIM AGAIN. THANK YOU BRADY"
"Really amazing job. They stayed longer than the intended timeframe, to make sure everything was scrubbed down (even in hard to reach areas, etc). They also were very reasonable. I had to insist on giving them more than they were charging, because of the extra time they spent on the job."
"recently had the pleasure of working with Simms Renovation on my home renovation project, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. From the initial consultation to the final touches, the entire team was professional and attentive.
They transformed my kitchen into a beautiful and functional space, paying great attention to detail. The project manager, Mr. Simmons, was always available to answer my questions and kept me updated on the progress. The quality of work exceeded my expectations, and they completed the project on time.
I highly recommend Simms Renovation to anyone looking for reliable and skilled professionals for their renovation needs. Thank you for making my vision a reality!""
Casement windows are safer against intruders than double-hung windows because they are extremely difficult to pry open from the outside. However, if you’re concerned about young kids or pets, double-hung windows have safety features you might prefer. With double-hung windows vs. single-hung or casement windows, you can lock the bottom sash and open just the top sash to keep children and dogs or cats safe.
Fiberglass and wood windows last the longest, with lifespans of up to 45 years or more with proper maintenance. Wood windows are more expensive than vinyl and aluminum windows, but they’re 10% to 20% less expensive than fiberglass windows. Repairing and restoring wood windows is also easier than with fiberglass windows, so they’re considered the more durable option overall.
It’s time to replace your windows if most or many are in poor shape. In that case, new fiberglass windows will increase the energy efficiency of your home and add to its overall visual appeal, inside and out. Replacing your windows also can allow you to find a style that better suits the character of your home.
Constant fixes can be expensive over time, and by replacing your windows, you can be at ease knowing you now have windows that function properly and make your home more energy-efficient.
Window capping costs between $1 and $2 per linear foot. Since your average window size is 24 by 36 inches, you’re looking at 10 linear feet in total, or $10 to $20 per window. Labor adds another $30 to $100 per hour to the project. If you have custom windows, you’ll spend more to have your windows capped. Fiberglass tends to cost more than vinyl and aluminum, while vinyl costs the least but has the shortest lifespan and may have a higher long term cost.
Yes. Vinyl windows have a PVC frame that wraps around a glass panel that is usually made up of two thinner glass panels separated by an insulating, noise-absorbing airspace. Some vinyl windows are triple-glazed, with three insulating air panels within them. This glass helps keep your interior quiet from outside noise while its insulating qualities help your space stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
