"We purchased Wasco Windows for our entire house many years ago. We recently had warranty repair on 2 windows. Steve was on time for the appointment and ready to work. He fixed both spring issues right away. He commented that the windows still look great...which I agree with."
"We replaced the windows in our 1933 home through the services of MadCity Windows. From the initial contact with their sales representative to final installation, the company provided top notch professional work. With the draft from the old windows and the cold of the glass, we are already saving on our energy bills. Our house had old, large windows, so they had to be custom made. As an industrial designer and interior designer, we find our windows to be of excellent quality."
"Empire Home Remodeling just completed the installation of all 13 windows on my 1960s ranch home. I am SO very pleased with the end result of this project and the fantastic people from Empire that I had the pleasure of working with. From sales through installation everyone met my expectations and then some. I was treated with courtesy and respect, things were explained to me and followed through and I feel I have an beautiful set of new windows for a very fair price. I will definitely use Empire again in the future for other home projects!"
"Mr Atkins was very knowledgeable about the windows that he was selling, very friendly. Mr Atkins was not pushing me to buy the windows which I like. Once again thank you for your professionalism. I look forward to getting my new windows installed! Kelly"
"Chris was great at contacting me right away for a quote and was able to get out that same week to get my exterior windows and gutters cleaned and flushed out. He left no mess and my windows are nice a shiny! Chris was a great communicator from start to finish. There was one window that had some gunk leftover from the turkeys pecking at it and Chris came out just for that one window- that made us very happy. I would recommend Proshine to anyone."
"John replaced the glass in six of our windows. He arrived on time and completed the work within a few hours. he did an excellent job and cleaned up all of the mess. We would definitely recommend this company-the price and the service we’re by far the best!"
"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)"
"We are extremely satisfied with the work that Square Oaks Home Improvements did on our home. From the initial phone call to the follow up to the actual work, the quality of service was top notch. We desperately needed new windows, but put it off, due to all the unknowns. Would we be treated right? Would it cost too much? Would we get quality windows? Rick and company helped answer all our questions and dispelled our reservations. From Day 1 to the final installation, we felt we were treated with the utmost courtesy and respect. We would highly recommend this company for your window and door needs!"
Steel windows are durable and last a long time, but not in all weather conditions. If you live near the ocean, these windows might not be the best choice, as the saltwater breeze can corrode the metal. Steel windows are also more expensive than other types of windows. However, with that high price point comes a sleek, distinctive design that many homeowners find appealing, especially for modern decor. You can also restore steel windows to get a longer lifespan from them, so they can last longer than vinyl, aluminum, and even wood.
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.
Whether or not it's worth it to install double-hung windows depends on several key factors. First, double-hung windows cost more than single-hung windows, so if you’re looking to lower costs, you might find it more worthwhile to choose single-hung windows. If you want the lowest maintenance requirements, though, double-hung windows are easier to clean.
Double-hung windows also offer better ventilation, making them a good option for bathrooms and kitchens. Single-hung windows have better energy efficiency than double-hung windows because they have only one moving part.
Yes, energy-efficient windows really can make a difference. As long as energy-efficient windows are properly installed and maintained, they can reduce your energy bill and offer significant savings.
Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home.
