"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 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"
"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."

The gas between window panes, typically argon or krypton, acts as a barrier to heat transfer. This means it helps keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer by preventing heat from passing through the glass. This gas layer also reduces condensation by stabilizing the temperature across the window and helps minimize noise. Essentially, it’s all about improving energy efficiency and comfort while lowering those utility bills.
Basements are generally required to have windows for your safety. At a minimum, windows should provide an egress in the event of a fire. But basement windows do more than offer a way out; basement windows also offer natural light and ventilation in an area of your home that is otherwise dark and musty.
Having a professional caulk your windows will cost you around $50 to $70 per window (or $1.25 to $4 per linear foot), including labor. However, caulking is one of the easiest DIYs there is, and you’ll save a lot of money by getting the supplies and doing it yourself. You’ll only pay $0.05 to $0.20 per linear foot if you DIY this one. Finally, different types of caulk don’t vary too much in price, with most tubes costing no more than $15 apiece (but typically only $3 to $10) at the most.
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.
Removing a window isn’t a very long process. Depending on several factors, it can take anywhere from 20 minutes to upwards of an hour. The size of the window greatly impacts the time it takes to replace it. Accessibility is another big component. If it’s hard to reach the window or reaching it is dangerous, anticipate it taking longer.
Lastly, if the old window is in poor condition, it could take longer to remove it safely—especially if the frame has wood rot and is structurally unsound.
