"This will be the third time my husband and I have had to change out our windows in our home since we bought it back in 1994. First was Anderson, Second was Ressler and now finally we have Your Home Improvement Companies windows. What an amazing difference it makes to have the right windows in our home. We are so thankful to have such great quality windows and an amazing company to back them with a TRUE lifetime warranty. They have such a quick and efficient install crew that knows how to install windows the right way. I would highly recommend their Sales Consultant James Callahan. He gave us thorough in-depth knowledge about their product and their company. I recommend you request YHIC for any future home remodeling needs!"
"Freddie and his helpers made the windows of this old house shine! They were undaunted by our 2-story house with its old-styled combination windows and the sheer number of windows and panes. They took such care with the window imperfections that made removing them a challenge. I appreciated Freddie’s calm and confident approach to guiding his team and solving problems. I also appreciated his on-site preliminary inspection and costing out the job. He could accommodate my schedule and kept the Communication going over the 1 & 1-2 day job. I also liked the thoroughness in inspecting the work that was done at the end both days, and especially the final day. Freddie and his crew were friendly and I enjoyed meeting them. Coming downstairs this morning to see clean windows felt a bit like Christmas! I recommend them enthusiastically!"
"The whole process went smoothly. Product was available within estimate dates. Scheduling occurred per our needs. The removal of exiting tub/shower and installation of new shower was completed in one day. Shower looks great. Everyone involved was extremely friendly. Installation team installed all accessories after consulting with us on locations. Great Job all around. We are now engaged with the company to replace our upper floor windows later this year."

"Our project was actually a crawlspace encapsulation. We have a lake cabin that was built in the 1960's. It had a dirt floor in the crawlspace with bare block masonry foundation walls. It also had old, damp batt insulation that was falling down from the joist spaces. American Waterworks came in, removed the old insulation (a nasty job!), laid down a 2 layer moisture barrier system and spray foamed the foundation walls and rim joist area. I can't believe what a difference this has made to our air quality, much warmer floors. We used to have to wipe down the windows every morning during the winter because of condensation. Not any more! I would highly recommend this company if you have the same needs!!"
"They don?t finish the inside of the job, and our front yard is all torn up. The window itself is great, but wished they would have cleaned up after themselves."
Drafts, condensation between panes, difficulty operating, or visible frames or glass damage are signs of needed repairs.
No, windows cannot be made 100% soundproof. Even the most advanced setups still allow some sound to pass through because windows are designed to let in light and are not completely sealed from the outside. While you cannot achieve complete silence, significant noise reduction is possible, with some noise-reduction windows blocking up to 95% of outside noise.
The goal is to minimize air gaps, add mass, and reduce vibration. To block out as much noise as possible, consider hiring a professional to install new double-pane, triple-pane, or laminated windows. You can further enhance soundproofing with airtight seals, glass inserts, shutters, or sound-dampening curtains. With the right upgrades, you can block out traffic, neighbors, and other city noise to a much quieter level.
Deciding whether to repair or replace a window depends on the specific issue, the window's age, and the cost-effectiveness of the solution.
Repair is often better for:
Minor issues such as a single broken glass pane, a stuck window, or small leaks. Repair is typically more affordable for isolated problems.
Replacement is the better long-term solution for:
Major problems like deteriorating or rotting frames, significant leaks, or drafts.
If your windows are over 15 years old, as repairs may only be a temporary fix for an aging unit.
If you have a widespread problem affecting several windows.
Fiberglass and wood windows last the longest, with lifespans of up to 45 years or more with proper maintenance. Wood windows are more expensive than vinyl and aluminum windows, but they’re 10% to 20% less expensive than fiberglass windows. Repairing and restoring wood windows is also easier than with fiberglass windows, so they’re considered the more durable option overall.
Most properly installed and maintained windows last between 15 and 20 years. Fiberglass windows last much longer than your average window. Since they don’t warp from temperature changes, rust, or rot, you might be able to hold onto fiberglass windows for up to 40 years. On the other hand, poorly maintained wood windows may only last for a few years.
