"We had a pocket door that would constantly come off the track. Needed it removed and replaced with a regular door. Rob came quickly and on time and replaced the door perfectly! Also repaired an outside step. Would use him again without hesitation!"
"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."

There are a few reasons your crank windows might not close. First, determine if your window crank is working properly and opening and closing the window when you turn it. If it’s not, the crank may need replacing, cleaning, or lubricating. Another reason your windows aren’t closing could be dirt and debris in the window hinges or sash. Finally, make sure your window lock operator is set in the unlocked position and isn’t blocking the window from fully closing. If you’re still having trouble closing your window, it may be worth consulting a local window contractor.
An egress window is similar to a regular window. However, this type of window opens fully to allow people to escape the home or rescue personnel to enter the home if an emergency occurs. Egress windows are required in all finished basements before they can be considered a living space.

The exact life span depends on a few things, including the frame material, the quality and type of glass, the weather in your area, whether or not the window is installed properly, and more.

You’ll need to consider the cost of replacing your windows, the cost of repair, and the longevity of each solution.
