Awning Windows – This style opens outward by pivoting and is usually opened by way of a hand crank. Often paired on either side a large picture window, these stylish windows perfectly complement many home designs.
Casement Windows – Open outward by pivoting from side hinges. Generally large and unencumbered, these windows work great for letting in fresh air.
Double-Hung and Single-Hung Windows – These are the most common and popular types of residential windows. Double-hung windows slide open, allowing for ventilation, whereas single hung windows do not.
Picture Windows – These “fixed” windows do not open, and are generally large in size coming in a range of styles. They are often a favorite where increased visibility and natural light are important.
Bay Windows – These uniquely crafted windows allow you to employ angles and projections from your home with curved or flat window designs that are generally large in size. They also allow you do have ample window sill space for seating or shelving.
Slider Windows – As the name suggests, slider windows “slide” open from the side. They provide ample viewing space and are great for ventilation. This type of window is commonly used for egress windows in the basement or lower floor bedrooms.

Most replacement windows can be effectively installed with no need for access to the inside of the home. However, there are certain cases, structures or window types that may require access to the interior of the home for proper measurement, fitting or installation. If you have any questions or concerns just give us a call.
A window can break, become worn, or be in need of replacement at any time of the year. The contractors we work with are available year-round, rain or shine, wind or hail, to get the job done right. They also take emergency and storm damage calls in case you need immediate assistance.
There are a few simple steps you can take to make sure the installation process goes smoothly. We generally recommend that you remove any blinds, curtains or other window treatments from the window being replaced. In the event that the installer needs interior access, please make sure a clear path exists to the window. We also recommend that you remove any hanging pictures, artwork or shelving near or around the walls by the window. Sometimes hammering or vibrations from power tools can cause items on nearby walls to shake or become loose.
Every customer’s goals and home is unique; as are the windows they want to be installed. We make sure each solution is custom-fitted specifically to address those needs.

Generally, each window takes around 30-45 minutes to install. Additional trim work or necessary cleanup may add additional time.

This is more common than you think. From custom windows to old or outdated homes with strange sizes, we’ve seen it all. Although “standard” window sizes are well established, you can in fact order custom windows uniquely fabricated to fit your exact opening. In other cases, you may opt to simply have a “standard” window retrofitted to fit your existing space. The later involves building the frame and adding trim work and/or casing to make sure there is a snug fit.

There are a number of things to consider when upgrading or replacing windows here are a few questions to ask yourself:
Energy Star certified windows, doors and more can help homeowners reduce energy costs while improving the comfort and temperature control within their homes. This certification is given to those products tested and verified for energy efficiency. This program, sponsored by the U.S. Government, ensures homeowners have validated information regarding which windows and doors will help them reduce utility costs.
Low e glass is short-hand for “Low emissivity glass”. This designation is given to those windows certified to be more efficient than standard glass. These windows feature a thin coat of specially engineered material that assists the glass in reflecting heat from the outside (during the summer months) and keeping the heat in during the winter months.
