"Universal Windows Direct of Manchester provided not only prompt, professional, and preferred service, they also provided a peace of mind for the service they provided. The owner personally visited my home and suggested several suggestions to address my concerns. Never was I pressured, pursued, or offered a product which I had not asked. Universal Windows Direct offered me the security that I knew that this was a company of integrity and honesty. So much so, that when the work was done, I was not home. Unbelievable! And, when I returned home from work on the day of my new window installation, all I could see was the view from my new window...windex'd cleaned, with no evidence that they has ever been in my house. Universal Windows Direct of Manchester treated my home- as their home, with respect and responsibility. They not only met my concerns, they under promised and very much over delivered. Would I use them again...you bet, in a flash! Thank you Universal Windows Direct of Manchester. Doug Robinson, Derry, NH 03038"
"I contacted Scott Harlow through Angi and I couldnâ t be more pleased with his work. Scott removed the old film on 15 of my sunroom windows and replaced it with new UV and heat retardant film. The windows look fantastic. Not only is Scottâ s work excellent, but he is also very pleasant, prompt and a true expert at his craft. I recommend him highly and without reservation."
"Excellent workmanship and products I have had three installations with Power in the past two years. I first used them for a new roof and gutters. The workers were all knowledgeable in their area of work. Clean up was good although some nails kept showing up over time. Next I had the 2nd floor windows and some 1st floor windows replaced, 9 in total. Installation went well and they cleaned up beautifully afterwards. I love the windows! They are a beautiful and energy efficient product. Lastly, I recently had a bay window replaced in my kitchen with the same type window. The workers ere all friendly and explained what would be done. The area was draped with plastic to cut down on dust. Clean up was excellent inside and outside! The window is beautiful and the framing on the outside of the window matches the other windows and the small roof above the bay window was replaced with the same roofing as the rest of the house. I would choose them again for any future projects."
"Dustin C. @ DaBella Boise helped us choose the right windows for our application and personally monitored progress from order to completion. The finished product looks great, but the best part is instantly seeing and feeling the difference between modern tech vs. 40y old aluminum framed windows. No more drafts or condensation! Thanks DaBella!"

"Review by Manny Enos in Wareham, Ma The quality of work was exceptional ! I am an Engineer and I have been in the Construction Business for 52 years. I have worked for Public and Private Organizations as a Resident Project Inspector throughout My career managing and performing inspections on the Construction of major Water, WasteWater, Road and Bridge Projects in excess of Fifty Million Dollars. I am a very detail oriented and hard to satisfy person when performing My inspections and dealing with Contractors . I demand High Quality work and Contractor/ Client relations. I have no regrets Hiring Capital Construction to perform the siding work on My Home in Wareham, Ma. . Beginning with Chris who convinced Me to Hire Capital Construction to perform the work, Jay who managed the work, the workers who performed the work and of course Jean and Louise , the Office Staff; I could not have asked for a better group of PEOPLE/PROFESSIONALS to deal with throughout the Project from start to finish. My family and I are so pleased with the Results and how it has enhanced the look of Our Home. I have already recommended Capital to Family and Friends and would not hesitate to Hire Capital again. Thanks to Everyone for the Great work and a Wonderful experience."
"Mike did a wonderful job cleaning our windows inside and out and power washing our home. Thought the price was reasonable. He was professional and personable."
"Alen was fabulous installing my air conditioner, and he even thought of a way to make the window more secure, since I'm on the ground floor of an apartment and he didn't want anyone to get in via the air conditioner in the window. He was perfect. I wish all the people I work with would be like Alen. I will definitly call him for future projects, and recommend Wolf Construction to my friends."
There are several downsides to choosing casement windows for your home. Firstly, casement windows can cost significantly more than standard windows—especially if you need to install custom windows. If you plan on installing window AC units, then casement windows aren’t the best option, as it can be difficult to fit an AC unit into windows that open sideways or outwards.
The hinges on casement windows also pose a higher risk for break-ins, as rust and wear and tear can make the hardware easier for burglars to break into.
Impact windows are absolutely worth the money if you live in an area prone to hurricanes. Though expensive, impact windows are built to withstand hurricane winds up to 200 mph and theoretically won’t break even if flying debris, such as mailboxes and lawn chairs, is smacked against the glass. A single broken window during a hurricane can destabilize the pressure inside your home, which can cause walls and the roof to collapse.
Glass block windows offer several unique benefits over traditional windows, and they create a much more unique look. These specialty windows offer added privacy while allowing natural light into the space, which is why they’re a popular choice for bathroom features. They also provide increased security as glass blocks do not open unlike traditional windows. Plus, they provide increased energy efficiency, lowering energy costs and preventing drafts.
The most likely cause of smearing or streaking after cleaning your windows is residue left on the glass from the cleaner you’re using. Consider diluting the solution and cleaning them again, or use old newspaper to dry the windows after cleaning, as this will soak up any residual material. Additionally, aim to clean your windows on a cool, cloudy day, as cleaners will dry more quickly on the glass if it’s hot and sunny, promoting streaking.
Yes, bifold windows can open inward or outward. Your window manufacturer will label windows as “in-swing” or “out-swing,” which indicates the direction they open. If your installer is ordering windows for you, make sure they know which direction you want them to open. In-swing bifold windows will preserve as much space in your outdoor area as possible. Out-swing bifold windows are great on the second floor, where obstructions outside aren’t a concern.
