"Quick home genius exterior did a fantastic job. Quality workmanship, quick project turnaround, the project manager was a great communicator. I will definitely recommend them to my friends and family. Are roof looks beautiful and I will consider using them for Windows and siding."
"I have used them twice, once to clean my windows and again to clean my house. They did a great job, very friendly and professional will defiantly use them again"
"This service started off very well but as time went on, they seemed to take advantage of the fact that it was one single individual living in a home which was rarely used and did the minimum amount of cleaning. They would come in and out in a short time and I would find counter tops that were still dusty and cobwebs and dead bugs in the corners of the hardwood floors. I brought these items up twice and they were corrected then it started happening again as they raised the price of the monthly cleaning so I stopped using them. Also, it would have been nice to get a phone call asking how things were going before raising the price, I might have continued to use them if they corrected the issues. In all fairness they were very flexible with my schedule and attentive to my needs and they can be trusted, I never found anything stolen or broken and they came when they were suppose to and always called me first. I was surprised, no one ever called me to see why I canceled."

Modern windows provide enhanced UV protection, improved heat retention, and cooling efficiency, contributing to overall household energy savings.
On average, bay windows are three times as expensive as a standard double-hung window, so up-front cost is a major drawback. They also let in more natural light than most other types of windows, which can be a positive thing, but it can also lead to more aggressive fading and UV damage to furniture and flooring. Larger windows allow for more heat transfer, so bay windows tend to be less energy-efficient due to their size. Finally, window treatments for bay windows can be more challenging to find, and they’re more expensive than those you’d place over standard-sized windows.
Casement windows are more expensive than some other window types, such as single-hung or double-hung windows. However, casement windows are not the most expensive type of window. Bow and bay window costs tend to be the highest, because they involve multiple large windows that jut out from the exterior of the home.
