"Working with Wasco was a great experience all around, both sales and installation. We intend to use them again in the future to replace additional windows. They were incredibly knowledgable and professional. We would rate them an A++"
"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!"
"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"
"I've been using Proshine for window washing and some other outdoor power washing for about 5 years. They are efficient, friendly and want to do the job exactly to the owner's specifications. This is one of the best business experiences I've had over the years, no matter who comes out for the job. The owner has an eye for solid employees. I would recommend their services to everyone."
"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!"
Consider energy performance ratings, durability, aesthetics, and ease of maintenance when selecting windows for different environments.
Arched windows used to be most prevalent in more traditional home styles, like Spanish colonial and Gothic, but they are becoming increasingly popular in modern design. You’ll often find arched windows in new home builds across many styles, including farmhouse and contemporary architecture. This represents a more general trend toward more unique houses with interesting features.
Glass block windows are energy-efficient because they are much thicker than traditional glass panes, making them better insulators. They are sealed airtight, which prevents drafts and stops warm or cool air from escaping, helping to save money on heating and cooling bills. Unlike traditional windows that can be opened and closed, sealed glass block windows eliminate the potential for air leaks. For proven efficiency, look for options that are Energy Star rated. The cost for energy-efficient glass block windows is typically around $400 per window, which may be higher than standard windows.
Deciding whether to repair or replace a window depends on the specific issue, the window's age, and the cost-effectiveness of the solution.
Repair is often better for:
Minor issues such as a single broken glass pane, a stuck window, or small leaks. Repair is typically more affordable for isolated problems.
Replacement is the better long-term solution for:
Major problems like deteriorating or rotting frames, significant leaks, or drafts.
If your windows are over 15 years old, as repairs may only be a temporary fix for an aging unit.
If you have a widespread problem affecting several windows.
The key difference between a hung window and an awning window is that hung windows (including single-hung and double-hung versions) slide vertically to open and close. In contrast, awning windows have a hinge at the top and open outward at an angle. You can use both types of windows throughout your home, but awning windows are best suited for kitchens and bathrooms.
