"I contacted Scott Harlow through Angi and I couldnâ t be more pleased with his work. Scott removed the old film on 15 of my sunroom windows and replaced it with new UV and heat retardant film. The windows look fantastic. Not only is Scottâ s work excellent, but he is also very pleasant, prompt and a true expert at his craft. I recommend him highly and without reservation."
"Spiros is top notch. He shows pride in workmanship and attention to detail. He's friendly, responsive, and enjoys fixing things. I initially hired him to replace rotting trim on my house siding. I hired him again to fix and reinforce our porch deck. I'm quite happy with both jobs. He treated my home as if it were his own."
"Window cleaning project went well. They wanted to make sure that I was pleased with their work. They were very pleasant to work with and communicated well. I would definitely hire them again."
I'm currently looking for some fill in work for this winter. I'm a very capable carpenter/painter. I have full time work Monday through Friday, but have some availability on weekends.
"Susannah is a GEM! We love her and will never hire anyone else to clean our house. She has great attention to detail and goes above and beyond. After she leaves, we just point out things she did such as “She cleaned my mouse pad!” or “She cleaned the toaster oven!” And praise her work. She is professional, reliable, and does such a good job. She is worth every single penny and more. We are so lucky to have her!!"
"Cody and company worked for us in the fall of 2019 getting the exterior of our new (but very old) house in shape before winter. Cody was extremely thorough in preparing the house for painting, and in repairing both, some damaged siding we were aware of, and other areas of rot that were more extensive then we knew. There was a lot to finish as the colder weather set in, but it was clear that Cody wanted to do things the right way without cutting corners. We selected a bolder variation on the previous color scheme, and the finished project looks fantastic. Cody was respectful, easy to communicate with, and fair and transparent in his pricing. We plan to work with him again on other projects in our home, including interior painting, and we recommend him and his crew without reservation."
"I was very pleased with the work he did, he has a nice way of explaining things , I sure I will hire him again for other projects when needed he is a very pleasant person to deal with. Tank you Scott for being such a nice guy ."
"Adam and his team did an amazing job on completing a backyard fence for my family. He was hardworking and detailed with the work. Kept me updated through every step of the way from the permit process, ordering materials and check-ins as the build was happening. Our fence is great! He also completed a custom railing and gate to attach to our existing deck. Will definitely be using we do it all again for future projects."
DIY is possible with the proper tools. Professional installation ensures a proper seal and energy efficiency.
The biggest disadvantages of low-E windows have to do with cost and, depending on your personal taste, appearance. Low-E windows cost more than traditional windows—typically between $300 and $1,000 per window, plus installation costs. Though they can save you money in the long run, low-E windows have a hefty upfront price tag. Additionally, low-E windows have a slightly different look than traditional windows. While some people don’t notice it, others say the low-E coating gives windows a hazy look.
Windows last between 15 and 30 years on average. The glass tends to last for around 20 years, while the frames last up to 50 years. This varies by the type of window frame material, glass quality, location, and level of maintenance. Wood frames have the shortest lifespan and require repainting or resealing every couple of years, while fiberglass has one of the longest lifespans.
Replacement windows normally don’t come with new sills, as the sill is part of the window frame that the replacement window fits inside. If you’re replacing windows, it’s a good idea to replace the sill, as well, especially since the sill will be fully exposed and easily accessible for replacement.
Expect excavation below grade, creating a well for access, weatherproofing, and thorough inspections during setup.
