Brightside Windows

Replacing the windows in our home had been on the to-do list for several years. Replacing 14 windows and installing a new window in the bathroom to replace glass blocks just seemed like too much. I wish we would have spoken to Brightside sooner. They were amazing. All of the staff from the schedulers to the installers were friendly, on time and knowledgeable. The windows came in ahead of schedule which was wonderful. Installation was quick and easy. The installers were answered all our questions and were able to get all 15 windows installed in one day instead of the two they estimated. When they left the house was clean and our new windows looked amazing. Especially the new one in the bathroom. We love how easy they are to clean and the built in safety locks have allowed us to keep the windows on the ground floor open at night. The temp in the house is now very stable and comfortable. We have cut the use of our AC by 80% and the 2nd floor is comfortable now even on 80+ days.

We had 10 windows, and 2 sliding doors replaced because the old windows and doors had double panes that had begun to fail (condensation between the panes), and the doors were not sliding very well anymore. Our house is from the 80’s and everything was original. The worst offender was our bedroom window on the ground floor where an active draft could be felt when the temperature dropped below 50 degrees. We’ve had to run an electric space heater at night to maintain 65 degrees since October (turning up the furnace would cook the second story where our daughter sleeps, we tried). Brightside came in and got everything replaced in a day and a half. The crew was considerate of our furniture that we moved to give them space, made sure to put boot covers on each time they came in and out (it was raining/snowing during install), and did a good job cleaning up after they were finished. The new triple-glazed windows are amazing, we were able to turn the bedroom heater down from high to medium (that’s like a 400W energy savings). I’m expecting the overall heating bill will drop, and we’ll likely use less electricity for A/C in the summer. Not to mention that the doors work so much smoother, and the windows are easier to open. The windows now offer more options for opening as (open both left and right, or top and bottom depending on the window). We love that the screens can slide from one side to the other, or with a vertical window, up and down. That’s already come in handy when we wanted to look out the lower pane of the kitchen window without the screen, but we didn’t have to fully remove it and remember where we stored it once summer comes around. Just slide it up to the upper pane. The price was fair as well. They were below the cost of Anderson windows, and I believe we got a superior product.
