At Window Nation, we know replacement windows. We’re third-generation window replacement experts who have been lucky to provide homeowners replacement windows, siding, and doors for over fifteen years. We opened our first showroom in Maryland in 2006, quickly growing to serve homeowners in cities across the country – and we’re not stopping there. We’re grateful for every homeowner who has trusted us to upgrade their most important asset: their home. We’ve learned a lot about home improvement over the years, but the most important thing we learned isn’t about window replacement. We learned the home improvement industry isn’t about offering the best windows, siding and doors; it’s about the relationships we build with our customers.
"The installer was very professional and efficient. The job was finished in approximately three and half hours and he neat and cleaned up very well. We were quite pleased with the job and would recommend them."

We specialize in wood replacement windows and doors though we also do vinyl and fiberglass. Our installers are employees of the Company and do not use any subcontractors.

We have been in business since 1973 and have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and are licensed with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
"Very easy to work with from start to finish, great cost, and quality work. We had all of the windows in our home replaced with ‘new construction’ Andersen Windows including all interior trim at a cost closer to what we were being quoted for vinyl replacement windows. The measurement and ordering process was very low pressure and the windows were delivered and installed on schedule. The installation crew was professional and clean and did high quality work. I’d highly recommend Window Installation Specialists."

"*posting so you can make informed decisions as a consumer In January of 2022 we purchased full house windows and doors from Universal Windows Direct. It took 10 months, but they were finally installed in November of 2022 by a sub-contractor from out of state. These videos were taken after a large summer storm in early July 2023. Their warrenty specialist visited the home thinking that they needed to simply repair these two… however, he found that EVERY SINGLE WINDOW WAS INSTALLED INCORRECTLY. None of them were properly sealed or wrapped from the outside, meaning that water (and consequential mold) was building up in the walls for 7 months before breaking down a these windows’ internal seals. We’ve also come to learn that electrical hazards were imminent, specifically in our toddlers room (video 2). Every wall, floor, and ceiling of the beautiful home we had built ended up needing to be ripped apart because a national window company improperly installed our windows. The total cost of damages and repairs ended up surpassing $300,000 and our family of 2 adults, a toddler, and an infant were displaced from our home for 9 months. Mitigation and restoration was completed in February of 2024 and UWD was cooperative with that matter. However, customer service and management/operations at Universal Windows Direct were abysmal to work with. I post simple statements and share our consumer experience so that others, as potential consumers, can understand to make informed decisions. I urge you: know your rights as a consumer, read your contracts thoroughly, read as many reviews as possible on sites like neighborhood group pages, Angies List, Google, Yelp, and the Better Business Bureau. PLEASE don’t end up in a situation like we did, having our lives uprooted and our mental health imploded."

"Everything was substandard. I would not recommend them to anyone. Communication, workmanship, not showing up to work, crew size, cleanliness, meeting commitments.

If you have a problem with your window, such as broken glass, minor leaks, or a problem with your window being stuck, repairing the broken part might be a cheaper option than replacing the entire window. However, if you have a deteriorating window frame or major leaks, buying a new window will be the better long-term solution.
Installing glass block windows has benefits and disadvantages, as with most materials. The pros and cons can vary depending on the type of glass block and the window location.
Pros
Maintains privacy while letting light into the bathroom
Energy efficient
Sealed to prevent drafts
Aesthetically pleasing
Strong and secure
Cons
Costly to install
Challenging installation
Challenging repair
Window replacement costs between $180 and $410 per window, or an average of $280 per window. However, your specific replacement job could cost as little as $100 or as much as $750. Factors such as frame material, the number of windows you need, and the type of glass you order all impact the overall cost. For example, simple double-glazed windows will cost $3 to $6 per square foot, but the stronger tempered glass ranges from $12 to $14 per square foot.
Glass block installation can be relatively expensive due to the range of material costs and the labor time to assemble this type of specialty window. The process proceeds slowly as the glass does not absorb moisture from mortar and silicone caulk takes longer to harden, leaving spacers to hold up the structure until the caulk or mortar begins to cure. Plus, if your current windows have structural issues or damage, you’ll need to repair them before beginning the project, increasing your bottom line.
The average cost to install glass block windows is about $710, ranging from $460 to $1,000, depending on the size and design of the window, installation type, and location. Different styles of glass blocks also impact the cost:
Clear glass blocks: $10–$30 per block
Colored glass blocks: $25–$40 per block
Acrylic glass blocks: $15–$25 per block
Wavy glass blocks: $10–$30 per block
Alpha glass blocks: $15–$25 per block
Ice glass blocks: $20–$35 per block
Diamond glass blocks: $20–$75 per block
Frosted glass blocks: $30–$35 per block
