"He showed up on time and did all my windows in my house. I have 13 windows, and 5 of them needed to be rebuilt from the frame up. One window was missing a screen, another was bent. He cleaned up, and I am very happy with his services. Our windows are a bit old, 15 years old and they looked worn but they now look so much better. A little project like this definitely makes a big impact on the overall look of the house, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone."
"Chris McClure was professional and knowledgeable. He arrived on time and completed the window replacement very quickly. I would recommend Chris and Richmond Window Corp to our friends and family. Thank you!"
"Stacy was on time and ready to work, he did a great job on cleaning our windows in the sweltering Virginia heat, I must add!! Not a steak on a window. We couldn’t be more pleased with his work. This is the second time he’s cleaned our windows. We’ll definitely have him back."

"This was a very involved plaster repair and remediation job, in a very old house. Grady is the only person (or company) who was willing to take on the job and drive all the way from Pennsylvania to our home in Northern Virginia. There are very few people who do this kind of work anymore (we really searched) and he is an expert in his field. We needed to work around his schedule, because he is in demand in the tri-state area, so it took awhile to schedule the work to begin... but it was worth it."
Whether or not it's worth it to install double-hung windows depends on several key factors. First, double-hung windows cost more than single-hung windows, so if you’re looking to lower costs, you might find it more worthwhile to choose single-hung windows. If you want the lowest maintenance requirements, though, double-hung windows are easier to clean.
Double-hung windows also offer better ventilation, making them a good option for bathrooms and kitchens. Single-hung windows have better energy efficiency than double-hung windows because they have only one moving part.
Glass block windows typically last for 15 to 30 years, which is slightly less than the 20- to 50-year lifespan of standard windows. You can extend their life by resealing them every few years. Professional installation is also key to ensuring the windows are placed correctly and will function properly for years to come. A professional installer will have the necessary skills, tools, and knowledge to install these features and can identify potential issues like damaged frames or cramped areas during a consultation.
Before you replace your windows, check your home warranty. Many home warranties don’t cover windows at all, while some have specific clauses about what they will and will not cover and what might void the warranty. If you have any questions, reach out to your insurance specialist, and never make assumptions.
Regular cleaning, non-abrasive cleaners, and scheduling professional services every few months help maintain clarity and shine.
Yes, you absolutely need a permit to add a window to your house. Your contractor can likely obtain this permit on your behalf. Ask about this when getting quotes from multiple window contractors.
