"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."
"They were wonderful. Love the Windows. Professional. Polite. Efficient. First thing I noticed was no frost on the Windows. None! Not inside or out. First time in my life having windows that don't frost up every night!"
"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!"
Yes, but professionals use specialized equipment and cleaning solutions to safely achieve streak-free, long-lasting results.
Bay windows are expensive mostly because their above-average size means higher material costs. Unlike bow windows, most bay windows also include casement windows on either side of a picture window, and the opening mechanisms for casement windows drive up costs. You’ll also pay higher labor costs to install a bay window, as you’ll often need multiple technicians to lift the window into place.
Storm windows have about the same life span as standard windows—between 20 and 30 years. Vinyl and wood storm windows last longer than aluminum, but they all fall within that life span range. Of course, how long your storm windows last will depend on how much severe weather they see. Direct impacts, in particular, can quickly reduce how long your storm windows last.
The maximum protruding distance allowed for a bay window is determined by its flank angles. 30-degree flanks can extend about 13 to 14 inches. If the angle is 45 degrees or larger, then the bay window can stick out about 19 inches. If the window extends too far out, it would cause structural instability and safety concerns.
The lifespan of smart windows or smart glass can range from 10 to 50 years, depending on the specific type, brand, and usage. When activated, smart glass is rated to last for about 100,000 hours. Since the windows are not typically on 24/7, this can translate to a lifespan of 20 years or more. Smart window film, a related product, generally has a shorter lifespan of around 10 years.
