"great experience, initially had two windows replaced in upper level, they look and work great, so good that i have already hired Empire again for the rest of my windows"
"The installers were wonderful. Friendly, knowledgeable, fast and CLEAN! Youâ d barely know theyâ d been there!. And our sales person really helped us understand the best, but not most expensive windows for our house. If I need more windows they will be back!"
"My windows were so inefficient I couldn’t get the temperature above 63° in the winter. I used to put plastic on the windows and the wind would blow the plastic. Lol. Also there was a significant sound improvement living near Highway 441. Installation was bing bang boom and finished within a couple hours. (Installed 5 Slider WINDOWS Fall 2018)"
"5 Star Window Cleaning LLC did a great job! Finished in no time at all, was professional, and cleaned up when done! Will definitely be using their services again!"
"I replaced all my windows, gutters and downspouts. The crew showed on time each day and job took less than 3 days. The area inside and out was cleaned up each day. I was very satisfied with the work that was done. I will use Ridge Top again and recommend them to anyone who needs work done on their home."

"The exterior wasn't as clean as I thought it should've been. All my windows now have a foggy film on them and will need to be cleaned (which isn't easy to do) there was alot of debris left on the decks. I thought that by paying 2x what others were going to charge the job would've been better. The product is garanteed for 2 years I will see how it lasts and how the company stands behind the product."

Wood windows will help keep an old home's charm, but they are more expensive and harder to maintain. Vinyl or fiberglass windows offer the best benefits in terms of durability and ease of care while still somewhat blending into the look and feel of an older home.
If the vinyl or fiberglass looks too out of place, consider adding shutters or something similar. The cost of plantation shutters is about $2,990, but the charm they bring to a home is unmatched.
No, windows cannot be made 100% soundproof. Even the most advanced setups still allow some sound to pass through because windows are designed to let in light and are not completely sealed from the outside. While you cannot achieve complete silence, significant noise reduction is possible, with some noise-reduction windows blocking up to 95% of outside noise.
The goal is to minimize air gaps, add mass, and reduce vibration. To block out as much noise as possible, consider hiring a professional to install new double-pane, triple-pane, or laminated windows. You can further enhance soundproofing with airtight seals, glass inserts, shutters, or sound-dampening curtains. With the right upgrades, you can block out traffic, neighbors, and other city noise to a much quieter level.
To keep cold out, look for treatments that sit close to the window frame and are made from thick, insulating materials. Thermal curtains, cellular shades, window quilts, and insulated shutters can all help retain heat. Layering window treatments, like pairing lined curtains with cellular shades, can provide even better insulation by further reducing drafts and heat transfer.
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.
Window cleaning depends on how the cleaning service defines their deep cleaning tasks, so pay attention to the details. You certainly should make sure window cleaning is included in the package. Some services will include it as an add-on, so you may have to pay extra. Find out if the cleaning includes interior windows only, or interior and exterior windows. Exterior windows may cost more.
