"We had new picture windows installed in our sunroom. We needed the outsides cleaned (second floor) and sticky stuff from the stickers removed as well as lots of fingerprints. They did an amazing job! We will definitely be using them for all our window needs in the future."
"John is very polite and professional. He replaced a broken window we had and also replaced our house shutters. He is the one to go to when we need to do the rest of our windows. Very high quality window from what we had. Very please with his work. Definately 5 stars."
"These guys are pretty good. Very expedient and thorough. I had my home power washed and lawn mowed. It has kept pretty nicely. I wanted my driveway and sidewalk pressure washed as well, but the one individual stated he did not have the equipment at the time and would come back; I haven't seen him return yet, but I assume since they are mowing the lawn for me, it will happen one day! :) Otherwise, this service is good to go for me."
Sometimes, you can buy windows directly from the manufacturer, and it may be cheaper than buying through a third party or wholesaler. Manufacturers may also offer more options, including custom shapes and features, or better warranties if you purchase through them directly.
However, some companies limit the ability to buy from them, especially if you need standard pre-fabricated sizes, so don’t expect this service from every manufacturer.
Glass block windows aren’t fire hazards; fire-rated glass block windows can increase your home’s fire safety. Modern glass blocks are made with materials that can resist high temperatures and prevent fire spread. Most offer a 45-minute fire rating, while some increase it to two hours. Compared to the typical 20 to 90 minute rating for a double-pane window, glass block can increase your home’s safety in the event of a fire.
Energy-efficient windows cost more than other window types, but they can help you save on your monthly energy bills, get you some breaks on your taxes, and even increase the value of your home. According to Michael S. Regan, Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, when people invest in green upgrades like energy-efficient windows, they save energy, money, and more.
Most standard windows can accommodate solar screens, but specialty shapes or non-standard frames may require custom solutions. It’s important to consult with a professional to ensure compatibility and proper fit for unique window designs. Arched, bay, and fabricated windows often need fabricated screens, which can increase costs and lead time.
The best thing to clean windows with is a mixture of white vinegar, warm water, and dish soap. This will remove dirt, pollen, and grime without destroying any tints or protective films on your glass. You can also use a commercial window cleaner, but make sure to choose one that doesn’t have ammonia in it, as this can damage window coverings and frame materials over time.
