"I was 110% satisfied with the entire window project. From start to finish, everyone involved in the project was professional, friendly, and skilled. I had 6 windows replaced with renewals and all other windows wrapped to match. The windows are quality, the trim that the installers put up is beautiful, and every last detail was covered...including every little nail hole covered in matching putty. The wrap put on my older windows looks great, with a quality caulking job. Every one of my windows has been improved. I highly recommend Renewal by Anderson and Heritage Window and Glass in Superior Wis."
"Contacted Ray about installing egress windows. Ray was able to make it out to our home and inspected quickly and gave us a very fair price. He hand dug the windows which elminated the mess that machinery can make. After the windows were done, Ray went above the original scope of work and helped fix some blocks in the foundation. He was also able to remove and replace some of the original basment windows. We are now able to start on finishing our basement months earlier than if we went with another company.
Ray does fast quality work at a competitive price. If you need egress windows installed I would contact Ray first."

"Jim was very helpful and personable to work with. I had recently moved to the Huntsville area and was unable to connect my wireless printer. There were also some things going on with my laptop that made me suspect a virus had somehow gotten on to it, it was running more slowly than usual, and I wasn't happy with the Win7 configuration I had done when I bought the computer. Jim came in and assessed the problems and we agreed on a time for him to take the laptop and reinstall the OS. He was able to get the wireless connection to work as well. He took the computer on a Friday evening and returned it Sunday evening in prime condition. A few weeks later I got an error message while reinstalling my accounting software so I called Jim. He talked me through the problem over the phone and I was able to get the program installed so I could use the program. Jim is great to work with, his pricing is very fair, he is prompt and reliable. I will definitely use his services again. "
"It turned out pretty well. There's a little bit of miscommunication when it came to what the promotion included from on their end. Other than that, it's been wonderful. We paid extra because we have a couple more windows and doors than their general that they cover so we had to purchase a couple of extras. They were very helpful about setting it up very easily. They sent us a new sensor because one wasn't working properly. It was a very good experience."
"If you want to work with a company that goes the extra mile, choose the G.F. Company. G.F. sided our house plus a new addition and they did the job in December and January and those months were pretty cold months. The job was excellent in spite of having to work in cold and inclement weather. They went the extra mile by finding aluminum trim to match the existing windows. Also installed some new windows on the main residence. We are very happy with the windows. As it happens, through no fault of G.F., one of the window panes cracked after a couple of weeks. G.F. replaced it, no questions or hassle. I think the real test of a company is how they solve a problem.....G.F. gets A+. Lastly, when you deal with G.F. you deal with the owner. I saw Ariel before, during and after the job was completed....real customer service. I may need some roofing work done: I'll call G.F. David Fagen "
To ensure the longevity and smooth functioning of new windows, regular maintenance is essential. This includes cleaning the glass and frames, inspecting seals for leaks or damage, and reapplying caulking as needed. It is also important to lubricate all moving parts and operating mechanisms to ensure they continue to operate smoothly.
Yes, every window needs a lintel. The lintel is necessary for redistributing the load above the window to the walls around the window. Windows aren’t meant to support a load, so lintels are an important part of a window installation. If you go to replace your windows and discover there are no lintels, you may need a window company or structural engineer to install lintels for your new windows.
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.
You should avoid using abrasive materials and harsh chemicals when cleaning windows. Abrasive tools like scrubbing pads, rough cloths, or steel wool can permanently scratch and damage the glass. Harsh chemical cleaners containing alcohol or ammonia can damage window treatments, frame materials, and special features like tinting. It is also best to use distilled or filtered water instead of hard water, which can leave spots or streaks. For best results, use a clean microfiber cloth to wash the glass and old black and white newspapers to dry it without leaving streaks.
It depends on the insurance company policy, but many companies will offer a discounted rate if you install impact or hurricane windows as they reduce the chance of damage to your home. If you are interested in this perk, make sure to discuss it with your insurance company, as they will likely need your windows to meet certain standards, such as those set by the American Society for Testing and Materials.
