"I would highly recommended WCV windows. The 2 man crew that installed 9 new vinyl windows including a sliding door did an excellent job in just a day! We were amazed by how their attention to detail gave us beautiful looking looking windows inside and out. Allso, we're staying much warmer and have much less outside noise coming in. A job well done in very friendly professional manner."
"Brandon R and Ryan P did a fantastic job of installing my new windows. The instillation was changeling due to the age of the cabin and the custom window shapes to deal with. They were professional, efficient, courteous and were able to answer all the questions I had about the new windows. Feeling very happy and very well served."
"We had exterior sliding doors and windows installed by Honest Windows recently and I have to say it was simply a great experience. From first visit, to quote to install and follow-up the communication was great and all the details were covered. I’m a woodworker I love building furniture etc. so I’m picky when it comes to workmanship I see all the little things: angles, straight and clean lines all the details they hit on all of them, the mill and trim work looks great.
I’d recommend The Honest Windows team to any and everyone."
"This is by far the very best window cleaning business out there!!! My windows are so clean that they look as if there are no glass panes!! I highly recommend S and A Window Cleaningâ ¦Sam is very professional and personable. I will definitely use their services again!!!"
"The windows look great. Mike was very helpful. Everyone was very polite. The only little thing is I wish they cleaned the windows after the install. We’re getting our new roof from Harley now too."
"Did a great job! Punctual, had a complete array of equipment, very thorough, hard workers who cared about their work. They were not deterred even in the steady rain. Everything sparkled, super clean including all of the windows."

"Tim Thompson is one of the best and most thorough people I’ve ever worked with. Not only did he get the project done to his high standards, but he didn’t leave until he checked everything out and made sure it was perfect. We have a 3 story house with a solarium and every window sparkled. Thank you, Tim."
Hopper windows aren’t flawless when it comes to keeping rain and debris out of your house because if there’s wind pushing the precipitation, it could easily get in through the open space. On top of that, hopper windows aren’t potential escape routes the way regular windows are in case of a fire or emergency. If that’s a priority or need, it’s something to consider when choosing a window type.
Fiberglass and wood windows last the longest, with lifespans of up to 45 years or more with proper maintenance. Wood windows are more expensive than vinyl and aluminum windows, but they’re 10% to 20% less expensive than fiberglass windows. Repairing and restoring wood windows is also easier than with fiberglass windows, so they’re considered the more durable option overall.
In short, it depends. After 20 years, the glass in your windows is less energy efficient, which can cause increased electricity bills. You might also see signs of water damage or natural wear and tear over the years. However, with proper maintenance, some window frames can last up to 50 years, so you may only need to replace the glass to save on energy.
At the same time, window replacement is a major investment, so replacing the glass in rooms most impacted by outdoor temperatures is one way to avoid going all-in to replace your windows.
The gas between window panes, typically argon or krypton, acts as a barrier to heat transfer. This means it helps keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer by preventing heat from passing through the glass. This gas layer also reduces condensation by stabilizing the temperature across the window and helps minimize noise. Essentially, it’s all about improving energy efficiency and comfort while lowering those utility bills.
Casement windows are safer against intruders than double-hung windows because they are extremely difficult to pry open from the outside. However, if you’re concerned about young kids or pets, double-hung windows have safety features you might prefer. With double-hung windows vs. single-hung or casement windows, you can lock the bottom sash and open just the top sash to keep children and dogs or cats safe.
