"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."
"I waited a while because they are backed up due to Covid but they were definitely worth the wait. They were precise, quick and extremely detailed. They put two windows in for me (where windows didn't exist before) and covered up a window. They insulated and everything. No painting but that was cool. I was very impressed. Definitely would recommend them and hire them again...and again....and again"
"I liked that there was no nonsense. Their salesman was straightforward and the price was fair. We were also impressed with the installers. They installed all the windows in 1 day and they look great. I'm happy I chose them."
"James C was very professional in explaining his window product and we were very happy to move forward with Dabella to get our windows upgraded. Now the work has been done we are incredibly pleased with the result and the look of our new windows"
"was very responsive by phone and email, did the job well, cleaned up after and answered my questions and explained things to me throughout the process."
"Because we were going away for an extended time, and insulation work by others had to be completed first, we had to schedule drywall workday NH Projects under a rather tight time frame. Despite uncooperative weather (lots of rain slowing the drying time), they managed to get everything done as needed, working around other scheduled work they had. They were prompt, professional, and a pleasure to interact with, in addition to doing excellent work."
"Very well. The upstairs bathroom we added an easy access shower to a half bath. To accomplish this we had to gut the bathroom back to the studs, correct some wall framing, lay new pipes, get a 60" x 33" shower in, drywall, tile the floor, add a new toilet and reinstall a pedistal sink. Because we were living in the house this all had to be done keeping the downstairs bathroom working. When the upstairs bath was finished, the first floor bath was gutted and once again reinsulated, new drywall, a new floor, new plumbing, a new tub/shower and sink were added. Trust me, while this all looks so easy on TV, it really takes some time, and you have to allow for that. Asa Wagner is a delight to work with and a perfectionist. I am very happy with the finished projects and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone."
"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."
Replacing window glass instead of the entire window is more cost-effective, maintains the frame's aesthetics, and reduces waste. It improves insulation and energy efficiency and can be completed more quickly with minimal disruption to the home.
Window replacement is typically always worth the cost, both from a money-saving standpoint and a comfort standpoint. If your windows are older and significantly damaged, a window replacement can actually save you money in the long term by improving energy efficiency. If your windows aren’t up to code, you may not really have a choice.
Impact windows can last between 10 and 40 years, depending on how much wear and tear they receive. This is roughly within the range for standard windows; standard windows tend to last between 15 and 50 years. You can extend your windows’ lifespans by performing regular maintenance on them and ensuring they are installed correctly.
It is generally recommended to remove window screens for the winter, especially in climates with heavy snow, freezing rain, or frigid temperatures. Removing them helps prevent damage to the screen mesh and frames that can be caused by ice and moisture buildup between the screen and the window. Taking out the screens also allows more natural light and warmth into your home during shorter winter days and makes it easier to clean your windows thoroughly. In warmer climates where harsh weather is not a concern, the decision is more about personal preference; some homeowners prefer the clearer view, while others leave them in for convenience.
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.
