"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!"
Bay windows are supported by braces and industrial strength cables, often at the top of the window but sometimes at the bottom. The bay window may need buttress supports if installed on the second floor. Wood screws on the interior also hold the bay window in place. Bay windows are heavy and need proper support to prevent sagging and wall damage. You need to ensure that the support system can hold the weight of the window and the roof cab over the window.
Yes, you can replace the frame around a window by completing either a partial replacement or a full replacement.

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.
Yes, egress windows are grandfathered. However, this comes with some specifications. If you are remodeling a basement or adding a sleeping area, you’ll need to update the egress windows to be up to proper code. But, if you’re leaving your home as is, you do not have to adhere to these requirements.
Yes, egress windows can significantly add value to a home. By making basement and attic areas safer and more livable, they allow you to market these spaces as finished living areas, which increases your property's value. Many homeowners can recover the full installation cost, with some sources citing a return on investment of around 70%. The exact value added depends on your specific home, location, and adherence to local building codes. Beyond financial value, egress windows enhance functionality by adding natural light and comfort. They are also a crucial safety feature, often mandated by building codes to serve as an emergency exit.
