"I am extremely happy with AJ's service, start to finish. We initially reached out for an estimate at the beginning of 2015. A representative came to our house to explain all the different products as well as pricing and timing. I had reached out to 2 other companies before hand but was not comfortable their high pressure selling. AJ was very patient with us regarding our timing and budget. I received an estimate on the spot and was able to take my time to review and get back to them. We scheduled the work for May and was able to have 7 Windows removed and replaced in only a few hours. We are very impressed with the quick respond time, professionalism and quality of work including cleanup. We plan on using AJ to replace the remaining Windows as well as a sliding glass door in early 2016. "

We are in the process of updating our 40 year old house to be more energy efficient and the 2 windows mentioned had to go. There were both large areas of glass and I knew we were losing energy thru them. I have installed windows before, and I had already priced out several options from various manufacturers if I wanted to order the windows and install them myself. But since this job required 2-3 people to install windows that large and heavy, I also wanted to get options to have somebody else do the installation.
I did not have any experience with Castle before this purchase, but I did a little research, and they were one of the contractors I called out. The salesman Alex came out and spent a good amount of time with us. He was aggressive and very confident, but I never felt put off by it. It made for a lively conversation and we actually kind of liked him. We decided to give Castle a chance due to the lifetime warranty, and the fact that they had been around for so long (relative to other window contractors). The price Alex gave me wasn't the best price I got, but it was fair enough. Having a good idea of what each window would cost me (not including installation) I knew they were getting a good price for doing the installation, but as long as they did it right I was willing to pay it.
The guy who came out and did the measurements was a surprise. He was young, but professional and gave us a lot of good options for how to build our windows...how much glass, how deep we wanted the sill, etc. Much appreciated.
The 3 man installation crew arrived and proceeded to tear out the old windows and put in the new ones. They worked hard, were neat, and I watched them as they insulated around the new replacement windows. They then did an excellent job flashing the new windows...and did an excellent caulk job to finish it off. I was impressed and did not expect to be impressed. If I had installed the windows myself I don't think I could have paid any more attention to the details.
So far the windows have been great, made a big difference in what has been a brutal winter, and my wife is very happy with them. Because of our experience with the windows we actually called Castle back out for a front door replacement estimate and install. We are hoping that Castle does as good a job on our front door install as they did with our windows. We will write a separate review for the front door and side light install after they do that in March.

There is no blanket number when it comes to glass thickness for soundproofing. Thicker glass does help reduce noise, but it’s only part of the solution. Most single-pane windows use glass that’s ⅛” to ¼” thick. While increasing the thickness can cut down on sound, the real noise-blocking power comes from stacking layers. Double—and triple-pane windows are far more effective for soundproofing. The combination of mass and separation breaks up sound waves better than thick glass could on its own.
While wavy glass is sometimes called antique glass or restoration glass due to the fact that it's found exclusively in older homes, the proper names for wavy glass are actually crown glass and cylinder glass. Most commonly used for circular or portal windows, crown glass was created by manufacturers using a process of blowing and spinning. Meanwhile, cylinder glass was used more commonly because it created large square sheets that could be shaped to fit windows of all shapes and sizes.
Replacing a glass pane is much less expensive than replacing your entire window. The average person will pay between $180 and $400 to replace a glass window pane. This price can vary based on a ton of factors, including labor costs in your area, special window treatments, and the number of panes on your window.
Yes, you can replace just the glass pane in a window without affecting the surrounding frame. This is a complex process, so it is best to hire a window repair professional to handle the task. A technician will cut the seal, remove the old glass, install the new pane, and properly seal it. For double-pane windows, this includes creating a vacuum between the panes and filling it with insulative gas to restore energy efficiency. Professionals can also help you choose the right type of glass for your window. This repair process is almost always more affordable than replacing the entire window unit.
