"We had a top to bottom, excellent experience with the local team from Universal. My wife and I had an in-home consultation, a measurement and the install completed in a little over a months time. As stated in a prior review, the cost is reflected in the quality of the workmanship. Our family could not be happier with our experience. Big thanks to Kyle, Ron, Mike and Dennis for the top-notch service. I can wholeheartedly recommend Universal Windows Direct to any homeowner in need of a new door, installed quickly and by a friendly, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Thank you again!"
"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."
"Joslin and Co was recommended to me by a Co worker and I could not be more happy with the results. I worked with a gentleman named Nico. He was Timely , Profesional, effecient and had my windows and doors spotless. I live in a wooded area with over 40 windows on my home and 2 sliding doors. I will be calling him back to service my windows and doors again and highly recommend him to anyone looking to do the same."
"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"
"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"
"Both siding and windows were done for our entire home. Great work all around, great crew, and finished on time. I would absolutely use their services again!"
Yes, storm windows should be tempered. According to the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors, tempered glass is stronger and can withstand temperatures higher than laminated glass. Tempered glass is important for storm windows because it protects against outside elements and household accidents by not producing sharp, jagged pieces when it breaks or shatters.
Yes, triple-pane windows are more resistant to condensation. They help to reduce interior condensation that forms as a result of warmer temperatures inside your home than outside it. This makes them a good fit for cooler climates, particularly with newer, well-sealed homes that retain higher levels of moisture in the winter months.
In short, it depends. After 20 years, the glass in your windows is less energy efficient, which can cause increased electricity bills. You might also see signs of water damage or natural wear and tear over the years. However, with proper maintenance, some window frames can last up to 50 years, so you may only need to replace the glass to save on energy.
At the same time, window replacement is a major investment, so replacing the glass in rooms most impacted by outdoor temperatures is one way to avoid going all-in to replace your windows.
Storm windows are well worth the cost, especially if you live in an area that experiences extreme weather, like hurricanes, a lot of snowfall, or high winds. These windows not only help keep you and your home safe during a storm, but they can also save you thousands in storm and window damage costs.
Yes, you can create a solution of dish soap and hot water to create a cleaning solution. You’ll want to mix about one to two drops of dish soap for every 8 ounces of hot water. If you use too much soap, it’ll create too many suds and make it harder to effectively wash away.
