"Brian found a creative way to install a portable air conditioner exhaust vent on a crank window by using a piece of Lexan, cutting a hole the size and shape of the vent and installing that in the window. It looks better than the original insert and works well with the crank window and I now have air-conditioning! He also replaced a screen while here. I have had him do multiple jobs over the years and he is always, exacting, creative, does a good job and cleans up afterwards."
"From start to finish, Steve was a dream to work with. First, he educated us on the different kinds of films to put on our new windows. He left us with three different patches of film on our window for a week so we can make a decision based on what kind of light and how it looks with different weather patterns. During the installation process Steve was a professional. Explained the entire process step by step. He was efficient, kind, and informative. His price was fair, his work and performance were off the charts, and above all, he was just a great guy. We are grateful we found him and our new home looks better than before!"
"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."
"Isaac showed up on time and took his time cleaning my windows THOROUGHLY. He cleaned every single window in my house inside and out, including the garage, attic and basement, even though I hadn't asked him to. The quality of his work is stellar, and his attitude is pleasant and professional. My windows have never looked better! I would recommend Clean View to anyone, and I've already told Isaac I would hire him next spring."
"I have to say that Matt, Dave and Rich were amazing! They were professional, friendly and cleaned up after themselves! I will tell anyone I know looking for windows to call Rite Window for sure. Happy customer Darlene"
"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!"
"Robert Aubrey responded to to my request within 20 minutes. He listened to my concern and researched possible solutions. The window in my door needed to be replaced. He searched places that carried the window and found a source that had it in stock. He was quick to pick it up and install it."
"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."
Yes, including the frame instead of just referring to the glass opening for window dimensions is the standard. However, some manufacturers may refer to the rough opening instead of the framed opening when listing sizes. Always confirm which measurement a manufacturer is using before ordering windows.
Mulled windows are no less efficient than individual windows, provided the wall opening is the same size. Larger wall openings filled with glass will always reduce overall energy efficiency, as glass transmits heat more readily than a solid wall. If the windows that are mulled together have the same square footage as individual windows, you might actually see a small decrease in your electric bills, as mulled windows let in more natural light that can reduce interior lighting costs.
Options include interior, exterior, and double-pane storm windows. Choose based on needs and preferences.
A window can fall off a track for a large number of reasons. The most common ones usually involve an issue with the track itself or the wheels that glide along it. If the track is bent or broken, the wheels can’t slide. If the wheels are broken or are full of debris, they won’t spin, and you will have to force the window open. The good news is that most window track issues are easy fixes, even for beginner DIYers.
The cost of new windows heavily depends on their size, but other factors come into play as well. This guide breaks down window costs based on various factors so you can make an informed budget for this project.
