Q1: CAN I TRUST MY MEASUREMENTS?
A: Yes, however we will not. Your windows will be re-measured by your installer at your pre installation conference before your custom window order is placed with the manufacturer.

Q2: HOW LONG BEFORE MY NEW WINDOWS ARE INSTALLED?
A: Typically, your windows will be custom manufactured within three (3) weeks from the time you order them. When they are ready, we will then coordinate an installation date that works with your schedule.

Q4: WILL I LOSE SOME OF MY WINDOW SILL SPACE?
A: Yes. Most windows in homes today have narrower frames than replacement windows. Builders often use new construction (low grade) windows on new homes. Replacement windows are usually one (1) to one and a half (1.5) inches thicker than new construction windows.

Q6: WILL YOU REPLACE WINDOW SILLS AND WRAP WINDOW FACE BOARDS?

Q7: DO I NEED TRIPLE PANE GLASS?
A: Not usually. These windows are designed for areas with prolonged extreme heat or cold. With a third pane of glass the air space between the inside and outside pane is typically the same as two panes. The third pane adds 30% more weight to the sashes, placing an additional strain on moving parts. Three panes require two spacers which doubles the surface area that can fail.

Q8: DO I NEED A HEAT MIRROR?
A: In many cases a good quality double pain window will be sufficient. check our comparison chart for the u-values, and of course, our prices on major brand name windows.

Q9: A LOCAL CONTRACTOR SAID HE WILL MATCH YOUR PRICE, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
A: Three main things affect a transaction; price, product and people. A lost customer sums it up well. She offered to share her experience under anonymity. Read what she has to say here.
