"The install took 2 days which is what we were told before the work started. Everyone was great to work with and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have an egress window installed!"
"We just had Unicorp install new windows throughout our entire house. The window quality is excellent and the installation went very well. We were replacing 55 years old windows - and were very happy with the entire process, from selection, exterior color choices, and finally installation."
"Received very informative presentation on what to ask and look for when window shopping. The only reason I didn't go with WoW was due to another company being slightly less expensive."
"I would recommend this company to anyone needing glass repair. We had window glass replaced that had broken seals resulting in foggy windows. They were professional and got the job done right after the ordered glass arrived. I will use them again if needed."
"I was very happy with response from Eddis. He gave me a quote upfront and followed it up with an invoice via email. I paid him half at the beginning and another half when he came back to install the window. He was very professional and respectful of my house. I will definitely use A.R. Glass again if I have window repair needs."
"Highly recommend this company for window repair. Highly professional, friendly and helpful. Pointed out issues we had missed and fixed all issues quickly with high quality work. Repaired/replaced windows which had blown seal/discolored, repaired window to smoothly open, fixed window screens. Could not recommend them more."
"Fantastic experience with JS Jackson! They did 2 projects for us - window replacement (6 windows for a townhouse) and cut and install new kitchen window. The leads on each project were very knowledgeable and great at explaining the process, answering questions, and advising on the best products for quality, budget, design, and function. Workers were friendly and professional. The office staff is very responsive at handling scheduling, permits, invoices, etc. It’s been several months and the windows are clearly properly installed, well-sealed, no leakage, and outside framing looks flawless. Would hire again!"
Most manufacturers have their name imprinted somewhere on the window, such as the spacer bar, hardware, or frame. Other manufacturers will include an identification number printed on the glass itself. If you’re unable to find either of these, then your window was manufactured locally (oftentimes called a “shop window”).
With a manufacturer name (or even better, the identification number) you can attempt to research the information to find out when the product was made. Keep in mind this won’t tell you when the window was installed on your home, but can get you close.
Costs depend on window size, type, material, and labor. Custom shapes or sizes typically incur higher expenses; full installation includes removing old windows.
Yes, most manufacturers and contractors offer warranties covering materials and labor. It is important to confirm the specific terms of the warranty before purchasing.
Yes, window manufacturers and installers can mull together three windows—or even more—for a more impressive appearance that lets maximum natural light into your home. However, you may have constraints regarding the total size of the wall opening. Your installer can help you determine what size wall opening is safe based on the structural load. In most cases, you can install additional supports to span the opening, like a steel I-beam, but this drastically increases the installation cost.
Sometimes, you can buy windows directly from the manufacturer, and it may be cheaper than buying through a third party or wholesaler. Manufacturers may also offer more options, including custom shapes and features, or better warranties if you purchase through them directly.
However, some companies limit the ability to buy from them, especially if you need standard pre-fabricated sizes, so don’t expect this service from every manufacturer.
