"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 project t went extremely well. We are preparing our former home to put on the market so wanted to do a very good, comprehensive cleaning of the windows, gutters, driveway and patios. Jonathan visited the house without my having to drive there to meet him and sent me a quote immediately. The price was very reasonable given the extensive amount of work required. Jonathan worked with us to schedule the various parts of the job so that it coincided with other work taking place - and his crew did exactly what they said they would on exactly the schedule we agreed. The crew leader, Corey, was in regular text communication with me clarifying tasks and providing updates on progress. I couldn't be happier with the work and will certainly hire them again to do work at our current home."
"Mike was very knowledgeable and courteous about the entire install from laying drop clothes when he worked inside to vacuuming inside and cleaning up anything that was left behind from the old windows and materials from the install of the new windows as well and my husband and I were very impressed with the way the new windows look and how well they work. Karen the salesperson was very knowledgeable and explained what no other company did about how windows are usually made and how they work and what makes windows from Universal so much better than the competition at a reasonable price that added value to our homes equity as well as vastly improving how our home looks inside and out."
"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"

Egress windows are typically required for basements with habitable space or living quarters. Not all basements or lower levels require egress windows. However, egress windows are required in homes with living spaces such as bedrooms and living rooms in a basement. The International Residential Code and International Building Code require sleeping rooms to have a specific size egress window. Check your local building codes to confirm the requirements in your area.
There are many signs to look out for that tell you it’s time to replace a double-hung window.

Double-pane windows cost an average of $900 per window. The price range for double-pane windows goes as low as $300 and as high as $4,500 per window.

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.
