"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"

He had to come twice as Tenant was a no show 1st time, He came again found the source of the leak (a leaky faucet in upstairs Bath). Gave a fair estimate an repaired the ceiling an replaced faucet. 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."
"I hired this company for multiple projects and they were amazing! Very professional and in constant communication throughout. I would absolutely recommend them for all of my future projects!"
"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!""
Using plastic shrink film over the window will cut down on drafts, which makes the air inside your home feel warmer. Plastic shrink film doesn’t quite have the insulative properties of a new window or of adding insulation inside the window jamb, but it will help. Plus, it’s a cost-effective solution to keeping your home warmer.
Arched windows are slightly more expensive than standard rectangular ones, but they only cost $50 to $100 more per window. However, adapting a rectangular wall opening to accept an arched window can add $200 to $400 to your total, making them a more expensive option over sticking with a standard window replacement.
You should board up windows when you need to protect your home either from intruders after a window breaks or from severe weather before you experience damage. To maintain home security with a broken window, get your window boarded immediately. If there’s a hurricane, tropical storm, or tornado expected in your area, board your windows a day or two beforehand to avoid emergency service fees.
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.
In some cases, you might need a permit for a window replacement, which is hard to get if you’re not a professional contractor. You should probably just hire a window replacement company in the first place because the job is complicated and can be dangerous for the average DIYer. You may not even save any money doing it yourself because contractors purchase materials wholesale.
