"I used the company on two occasions for my former home and for my new home. I used Champion Window Company of Wichita, LLC to replace eight windows and for my new property they have replaced about three windows. When comparing price and service to Anderson and Pella this company wins hands down on customer service and pricing. I already have referred this company many times."
"The installers were wonderful. Friendly, knowledgeable, fast and CLEAN! Youâ d barely know theyâ d been there!. And our sales person really helped us understand the best, but not most expensive windows for our house. If I need more windows they will be back!"
"Team from Power completed the work on time and cleaned up well after work was completed. Windows were measured correctly so replacement windows fit perfectly and were quality Pella windows versus no-name windows offered by other vendors."
"Overall, I am very pleased with the work they completed! The process of receiving a quote, booking the work, and paying the bill were incredibly user friendly and easy to complete. These truly could not have gone any better and it may have been the easiest thing I have done with house work. I had a few other quotes on this work and this company was a better deal by and large or at least competitive with the other offers. The work was done largely to my satisfaction with only a few very minor criticisms. There were some areas that were particularly dirty on my house and it appears that there are spots on the under-side of the siding that may have been missed. The window cleaning was decent on most windows, but it looks like they may have been done in an order that made the lower level windows dirty again before the work was completed. Since the window cleaning was included in the base price, this is hardly worth mentioning because most places would charge extra for this service anyways, so something is better than nothing. Overall, I liked the work they did and I would absolutely consider using them the next time I need this work done!"
"We've used US Film Crew and Keith Hillison multiple times for residential window tinting, and they've been outstanding every time. The quality of the work is excellent, they're professional, reliable, and easy to work with, and the results always exceed our expectations. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for home window tinting."
"Very very pleased with our new windows. They have made a big difference in the look of the inside and the outside of our home.The Triple Pane windows were well worth the investment. Also, the installers did an amazing job installing and cleaning up the project. When we buy the rest of the windows for the house we will use Window Depot and the installers. Everything Richard the owner told us during the consultation was accurate and they even delivered more than expected. Thank you Window Depot."
While plywood will keep winds and debris from shattering your windows from the outside, window film can help protect your windows from the inside. Window film can keep a window from shattering. If your windows break, the film can hold the shards of glass in place, reducing the risk of cuts.
While you may sometimes see window film marketed as "hurricane window film," note that it doesn't provide sufficient hurricane protection on its own. It's no substitute for plywood, storm windows, or hurricane shutters.
Using plastic shrink film over the window will cut down on drafts, which makes the air inside your home feel warmer. Plastic shrink film doesn’t quite have the insulative properties of a new window or of adding insulation inside the window jamb, but it will help. Plus, it’s a cost-effective solution to keeping your home warmer.
Whether or not you need permission to change the windows in your house depends on your local laws. If you’re enlarging an opening or installing a new window and need to make structural changes to the house, you’ll need a permit. In most locations, you won’t need permission if you’re just replacing a window with another window of the same size. The window installation company you work with will be able to help you navigate any planning permits you may need.
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 key difference between a hung window and an awning window is that hung windows (including single-hung and double-hung versions) slide vertically to open and close. In contrast, awning windows have a hinge at the top and open outward at an angle. You can use both types of windows throughout your home, but awning windows are best suited for kitchens and bathrooms.
