"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."
"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!"
"Rasmus installed the exterior and interior doors of our home. He did an excellent job. He is very efficient and professional. I would like to hire him to complete more work for our home."
"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."
"We had an exceptional experience with Xtreme Xteriors. We were able to do window replacement on our 1978 built home. They turned out great. After that project, we had them do a bathroom remodel for us. They replaced our old fiberglass tub with a nice new walk-in shower. They did everything start to finish!"
Windows with muntins are slightly more expensive because you’re paying for more material, but the cost shouldn't be that much higher since most muntins are fake on modern windows. You’re looking at a cost between $25 and $100 more per window for muntins, depending on the type. The only exception is if you want custom muntins to match your home style or meet your personal preference. Most manufacturers will charge more for these as they can’t mass-produce them. Windows with true muntins are rare, and they’re much more expensive upfront and over time if you ever need individual glass replacement.
Because bay windows are a combination of three windows, there are many options for how wide or tall they can be. That said, individual windows come in standard sizes, and you can use those as a guide for the width and height of your bay window.
There are several ways to reduce noise coming through your windows. You can seal gaps around the window frames with acoustic caulk or fresh weatherstripping to reduce noise and air leaks. Installing sound-dampening curtains, thick blinds, or shades can also help deaden sound vibrations. For an additional interior barrier, consider installing an acrylic or plexiglass sheet inside the window, which stifles sound while still allowing for outdoor views. Another strategy is to add external barriers, like dense shrubbery or a sturdy fence, to block neighborhood noises. If these methods are not effective enough, it might be time to install new noise-canceling windows.
Energy-efficient windows are judged on their performance according to a few different factors, including heat transfer, air leakage, light transference, and condensation resistance. If you're unsure whether a window is energy-efficient, look for an ENERGY STAR® label from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). If various products, including windows, meet energy-efficiency standards set by the federal government, the EPA issues this label to help consumers identify energy-efficient products.
You will need about half of a caulking cartridge to caulk one window. The average home has eight to 10 windows, so you would need about 4 or 5 cartridges to caulk every window in an average-sized house. However, you may not need to caulk all the windows at once. If just one window has a pesky draft, you may only need half of a cartridge to fill in the gaps.
