"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."
"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"
"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!"
Yes, you can absolutely put a screen on a casement window, and most casement windows come with screens. Unlike with a double-hung, single-hung, or sliding window, the screen in a casement window sits on the inside of the window so that the sash can freely open outward. Screens are especially important for casement windows because the large window opening the window provides leaves your home more open to bugs and outside debris than most other types of operable windows.
Bay windows are not easy to install because they are heavy and require specific tools and woodworking experience. You’ll also need to install a roof cab, flashing, and shingles. Ensuring the window is level and sealed can be tricky but it is important because it prevents air leakage and water from entering your home. Most often, an experienced window pro should install bay windows.
The material around a window is simply called the window frame, but the individual pieces also have different names. The top portion of the frame is called the head, the side pieces are called jambs, and the bottom portion is called the sill. If you have multiple windows next to each other, you’ll also have a mullion, which is the frame piece that separates the individual windows. Windows stacked on top of each other are separated by a horizontal frame piece, which is called a transom.
Impact windows can last between 10 and 40 years, depending on how much wear and tear they receive. This is roughly within the range for standard windows; standard windows tend to last between 15 and 50 years. You can extend your windows’ lifespans by performing regular maintenance on them and ensuring they are installed correctly.
Hot water removes grime more efficiently than cold water and evaporates more quickly so that your windows will dry faster. However, you may want to use cold water instead if your windowsill paint is chipping or peeling because heat can worsen this condition.
