"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"
"When making my appointment, I was given the window of 12 PM - 5 PM for a technician to arrive. Joe P. came at exactly 12 PM on the specified day. There was a bit of a conflict on the invoice he brought over that was resolved easily. I was quoted the price of $99 when making the appointment not the $189 on the invoice. Joe P. was very courteous, professional, and thorough. We even had a few laughs when comparing the breed dogs we own- Weimaraners! His dog was just as goofy as mine which is one of their traits. When Joe left, he made sure that my property was free of dirt and debris from cleaning the gutters. So, hats off to Joe and the company he represents, PJ Fitzpatrick. Although the project says gutter "repair," it was actually for a cleaning. Cleaning wasn't one of the options from which to choose."

"Eck’S R&R LLC remodeled our downstairs bathroom adding a beautiful 8 foot shower. They got it done when they said they would. They were always on time and they always cleaned up after themselves at the end of each day. We were totally blown away with how beautiful and luxurious it was when done. I would recommend them to anyone."
"The girls worked in teams & the same ones came to your house each time so they got to know your house. They took constructive criticism & we were lucky & got a good team. The problem was the owner. She was very non-confrontational. I was having problems with pricing, etc., & she would not deal with it. Her office manager did not have the authority to handle it. I simply kept being put off to the point that they wouldn't even send me a bill! I was getting free cleaning. I finally figured out what I felt was fair and canceled my service. She accepted my decision and I never saw them again."
Soundproof windows can be energy efficient, depending on the window type and manufacturer. Overall, triple-pane windows are more energy efficient than double-pane windows. However, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, a window’s energy-efficiency level is determined by multiple factors, including the frame material, if there’s any low-emissivity (low-E) glass, and the addition of spacers.
Insulating windows with plastic works, but it can be time-consuming, and the end results can—and often do—end up lacking in aesthetics. Window film and caulking your windows to make sure there are no drafts are two options that increase the energy efficiency of your home in a low-cost way. Plastic can be a good strategy while you consider alternatives.
The disadvantages of putting plastic over your windows are that they are time-consuming to install and don’t always have the aesthetic that you may be looking for. The plastic is lightweight and not at all sturdy, so if you have kids or pets, the plastic can rip easily, meaning you’ll need to replace it often. It also doesn’t allow for the freedom of window movement that window film or shades offer. The single advantage that plastic window coverings have is that they are inexpensive and can be simple to install.
The differences between a bay window versus a bow window involve the number of individual windows and the angle at which both windows extend from the home. A bow window has four to six individual windows that form a curve outside the exterior wall. A bay window usually has two small windows on the edges that angle outward from the exterior wall and a large window in the middle that’s parallel to the home’s exterior wall.
Impact windows are a type of window made with impact-resistant glass, designed specifically for hurricanes. The glass, treated with ethylene-vinyl, can withstand winds up to 200 mph, as well as flying debris. Brands sometimes test their impact windows with large missile impact tests.
Impact windows may be required in some places. For instance, the Florida Building Code requires homes to have impact-resistant windows if they live within a mile of the coast where wind speeds can reach 110 mph or more.
