"The rest of my new Anderson replacement windows were installed this fall and I am very pleased with them. The job was scheduled for 4 days but the installers completed in 3 days. The installers were very polite, professional and neat. All the windows are fantastic and especially pleased with the look of the new basement windows which look so much better than the original ones. It is also nice to not have any more winter frosted windows. I would definitely recommend Renewal by Anderson to anyone needing new windows."
"Professional and pleasant. I called a half dozen companies and they were the only ones to show up. Gave me a fair price for the work to be performed. My neighbor was curious about I was having done, came over and decided to have work done for him. I am very happy and will likely use them again."
"The project was high quality work. Had my barn door installed and also all interior doors replaced. Painted, hung, and all hardware updated and installed. Also not only was I highly satisfied with the work but also they finished on time and had great detail to the overall project! Highly recommend and definitely going to use them for any future projects!"
"Throughly amazed with the quality of work these gentlemen did on our home. They were extremely hard workers that returned my phone calls, showed up to work when they said they would and cleaned up the work area each day. You donâ t find many younger people with this work ethic any more. Would highly recommend them and will use them again!"
"Nexus pro did an awesome job on my pool deck. Added features for ease of cleaning.
Nexus has great attention to the details and quality is important."
"Summer did a fantastic job. My carpet is 19 years old and had gone through a lot of puppy training over the years. Summer was really affordable and made my carpet look as good as when I moved in to this house 13 years ago. I highly recommend her, and check her website. She does so much more than just carpet cleaning."
"This company performs quality work, they stand behind their work and are easy to work with. They are honest and have quality employees. I have used them before this project but this was a major project and they worked with me to ensure it was done to my satisfaction and that it was done to code. They cleaned up each day after they were done. I highly recommend them and will use them again for other projects. The project was completed in a timely manner, was reasonably priced."
Your new windows may let in more noise than your old windows because they are not the right size or they were installed improperly. Improper installation, or choosing windows that are too small for the opening, can create gaps around the window that let in noise.
Another factor could be the STC and OITC ratings. If your new windows have lower ratings than your old windows, this means they have lower performance when it comes to dampening noise from the outdoors.
Most standard windows can accommodate solar screens, but specialty shapes or non-standard frames may require custom solutions. It’s important to consult with a professional to ensure compatibility and proper fit for unique window designs. Arched, bay, and fabricated windows often need fabricated screens, which can increase costs and lead time.
Contrary to popular belief, wavy glass in older homes isn't caused by warping. The blowing technique used to create windows in homes dating back to the 1700s, 1800s, and early 1900s left behind small bubbles that create a wavy effect. If a glass window is functional, there's no need to consider wavy glass damaged. In fact, many homeowners prefer the old charm of wavy glass.
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.
No, it isn’t necessary to have energy-efficient windows. However, if you care about your energy bill and making your windows more energy efficient, fixing any heat, UV, or air transfer issues is an excellent way to lower your bills and keep your house cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
