"The installation crew was perfect! Very nice and professional. There was an issue with one of the windows not being shipped with the other windows, but got the window and came back to finish the job in two business days. The quality of the windows and the installation is top notch!"

"Dustin C. @ DaBella Boise helped us choose the right windows for our application and personally monitored progress from order to completion. The finished product looks great, but the best part is instantly seeing and feeling the difference between modern tech vs. 40y old aluminum framed windows. No more drafts or condensation! Thanks DaBella!"
"Brock was great to work with. He was communicative throughout the project and kept me updated on progress each day. He did a great job replacing all of my interior window casings, and everything looks great. I'd definitely hire Brock again."
"We had our home repainted in July of 2026 after 32 years, and we could not be happier with the work done by Five Star Homes! We requested quotes from five different companies, but Travis really took the time to make a thorough examination of the condition of our home. Because this company does more to fix houses than just paint them, he recommended some repair to our siding, specifically to replace the lowest boards with Hardie board, which is much more durable than other materials and will stand up to wet Washington conditions. Travis answered all of our questions. Five Star was a clear choice. Our decision was not made on price, but on the confidence that the repairs and painting would be done professionally and with respect for our property. David’s team worked very quickly and covered our trees, bushes and windows as needed. The rains were coming, so they returned as soon as the weather was dry and finish the job. Five Star definitely lives up to its name!"

Visibility through tinted house windows or privacy film depends on the lighting. During the day, the tint or film typically prevents people from seeing inside. However, at night, if you have lights on inside your home, the interior will be brighter than the outside, which allows people to see in. You can choose from various shades of privacy film, from lighter to darker, to optimize the level of privacy you want.
It is generally recommended to remove window screens for the winter, especially in climates with heavy snow, freezing rain, or frigid temperatures. Removing them helps prevent damage to the screen mesh and frames that can be caused by ice and moisture buildup between the screen and the window. Taking out the screens also allows more natural light and warmth into your home during shorter winter days and makes it easier to clean your windows thoroughly. In warmer climates where harsh weather is not a concern, the decision is more about personal preference; some homeowners prefer the clearer view, while others leave them in for convenience.
Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.
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.
Wood windows are often worth the cost because they add more to curb appeal and your home value than more affordable options like vinyl and aluminum. Wood windows also offer better insulation than vinyl and aluminum windows, and they can last about twice as long. As such, they’re more expensive up front but offer greater value and a higher ROI.
