"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."
"I've had three separate window installation projects from Richmond Window. The first exceeded expectations. The second time, installers failed to check that all the transom windows opened. I discovered that one didn't and RW promptly repaired it. The third time, one of the windows arrive with a damaged piece (purely cosmetic). It took repeated phone calls and four months to finally get the replacement piece installed (less than 5 minutes to actually replace). Service after the sale and initial install needs improvement."
"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."

"HSP was fantastic and I highly recommend them. Cameron and DayDay were responsive, on-time, and well-priced. As they worked, they were efficient, thorough, and organized.

"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."
Awning windows are just like hopper windows except that they open the opposite way. Instead of opening inward, awning windows open outward with a hinge at the top. This creates a mini-awning within your window frame, which is where the name comes from. Hopper windows, on the other hand, open inward with a hinge at the bottom.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, low-E windows can reduce energy loss by 30% to 50%. But the actual effect of low-E windows in your home will depend on many factors, like climate, number of windows, window treatments, and more. In terms of aesthetics, you may or may not notice a difference in how your windows look or how much natural light shines through. But overall, low-E windows look very similar to traditional windows.
The type of casement window you have depends on where the hinges are located, the number of sashes, the style, and how the windows open. Single casement windows are popular casement windows that use a handle or crank to open. If you have two casement windows side by side, you likely have double casement windows.
Windows that swing inward can tip you off to having in-swing casement windows, while windows that open from the bottom and swing outwards are top-hinged. If you can open your windows by pushing them outwards like a door, you may have a type of push-out window.
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.
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.
