"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."
"Met with Alec about 3 windows. He was so enthused and confident about the windows his company sells, we agreed to go with them. Price was good, time out for delivery seemed good. Alec was very easy to work with, explained everything we needed to know. Thanks and can't wait for the windows."
"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"
"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!"

Smaller projects likely won’t result in increased property taxes, but it’s always a good idea to err on the side of caution and check. Contact your local county appraisal department for the most accurate information about property taxes in your area.
Yes, triple-pane windows are more resistant to condensation. They help to reduce interior condensation that forms as a result of warmer temperatures inside your home than outside it. This makes them a good fit for cooler climates, particularly with newer, well-sealed homes that retain higher levels of moisture in the winter months.
