"I got some windows from Power and LOVE their work so we ordered 2 doors too. The doors are amazing and they were very professional and courteous during the install. I continue to be impressed by Power and will continue to reach out to them as needs come up."
"Home genius did 10 windows in my home, and I was extremely satisfied. Mason P. Was great to work with as a project manager. He and his crew of Justin and Les were incredibly professional and worked to get the job done quickly, efficiently, and correctly the first time."
Universal Windows Direct was founded in April of 2002 by William Barr and Michael Strmac. It was their mission to create a home improvement company that offers high quality home improvement goods at the best possible value. What began as two guys in a 350 square foot office quickly grew to become one of the nation's leading remodeling companies. Today, Universal Windows Direct represents thousands of customers and has a rapidly growing network of locations nationwide, all of which are actively involved in the communities they serve.
"I wasn't really satisfied with the work and the cut was not done properly. I would never use this company again. The guy was great, but the work was not."
"The crew was polite, efficient and completed all my windows and door replacement in 1 day. Covered my furniture and cleaned up behind. I am very happy with these windows and door!"
"They were cost effective, compared to other companies. Their work was on time and professionally done. The look of the window compared favorably with my original wood windows. I am happy with my decision and with their work."
"The job was done not only at a reasonable price but the finished results were beyond my expectations. I couldn’t be happier with work done by Aaronson Repairs & Improvements and will certainly not hesitate to use them again when needed."
The average cost to repair a window is about $400, with prices typically ranging from $175 to $1,500. The final cost is influenced by several factors, including:
Number of Panes: Single-pane repairs average around $200, double-pane repairs range from $200 to $400, and triple-pane repairs can cost $600 to $1,100.
Type of Repair: Minor fixes for a track, seal, or sash are more affordable than repairs for broken glass or window frames, which are typically the most expensive.
Window Details: The size, type, and material of the window affect the price.
Accessibility: Windows on upper floors or in hard-to-reach locations may increase labor costs.
Other Factors: The extent of the damage, local labor rates, and the need for emergency service will also impact the total cost.
For comparison, a full window replacement can range from $175 to $1,800 or more for high-end materials or large windows like bay or bow windows.
Yes, you can fix windows without replacing them. However, this will depend on the severity of the issue and what your needs are. Minor water damage, broken glass, damaged casing, and worn caulking are usually easy repairs. But if there is excessive damage, the windows are constantly foggy, or the windows are very old, it’s best to consider replacing them. Replacement windows cost between $575 and $1,475 per window, or an average of $850 per window.
The screen material you choose depends on your needs. Here are some differences to consider:
Fiberglass is the least expensive but needs replacing more often.
Aluminum suits almost any job and doesn’t stretch as easily as fiberglass.
Pet-resistant screens are more expensive than fiberglass or aluminum, but they’re also wind and weather-resistant.
Metal screens, like stainless steel, are the most expensive material for rescreening your porch or sunroom. However, they last for years and are golf ball-resistant.
The cost ultimately depends on size, but roughly, the most popular screen materials will set you back anywhere from around $0.25 to over $25 per square foot. Fiberglass and aluminum are usually less expensive at around $0.25 to $0.70 per square foot. Solar screens cost about $7.50 to $15 per square foot, while security screens range from around $10 to $25 per square foot.
Window seals don’t last forever, so they’ll inevitably fail for one reason or another. One of the most common reasons is the expansion and contraction of the glass. When the glass gets warm from sunlight, it expands and adds pressure to the seal; at night, as the glass cools, it contracts. This process, day in and day out, can eventually cause the seal to fail. Other common sources of failure include the house settling over time, chemicals that damage the seal when repainting windows, and incorrect window installation.
