What our customers say
Single Hung
Single-hung windows are a classic choice for many homeowners, featuring a bottom sash that moves vertically while the top sash remains fixed in place. This design offers simplicity and efficiency, fitting perfectly with traditional architectural styles.
Benefits
Single hung windows are known for their cost-effectiveness and space-saving design. They are an excellent option for areas with limited space since they do not protrude outward or inward, providing a clean, unobstructed view. Their simplicity also contributes to ease of installation and minimal maintenance requirements.
Installation Process
The installation of single-hung windows involves preparing the window opening, ensuring it is level and square, and then carefully setting the window in place. Our team secures the window with fasteners, checks for proper operation, and applies weatherproofing sealant around the frame to ensure a tight seal.
Maintenance and Care
Maintaining single-hung windows involves regular cleaning of the glass and checking the sealant and weatherstripping for wear and tear. Lubricating the moving parts periodically can also ensure smooth operation over time.
Double Hung
Double-hung windows offer a versatile and convenient option, with both the top and bottom sashes able to move up and down. This allows for excellent ventilation options and makes cleaning a breeze, as both sashes can tilt inward.
Benefits
The main advantages of double-hung windows include their ease of cleaning and improved air circulation capabilities. They are incredibly versatile, fitting well with both modern and traditional homes, and their design allows for easy installation of window treatments.
Installation Process
Installing double-hung windows is a precise process that involves creating a secure and level opening. Our professionals ensure that both sashes operate smoothly and seal the window efficiently to prevent air leaks, enhancing the energy efficiency of your home.
Maintenance and Care
Double-hung windows require periodic maintenance to keep them functioning properly. This includes cleaning the tracks, checking the sashes for smooth operation, and occasionally replacing the weatherstripping to maintain energy efficiency.
Picture
Picture windows are large, stationary windows designed to provide a clear, unobstructed view of the outside. They are perfect for showcasing beautiful exteriors and bringing in natural light, making them a popular choice for living rooms and sunrooms.
Benefits
The benefits of picture windows include their ability to enhance natural light and offer expansive views. Their fixed design contributes to better energy efficiency, as there are no gaps for air to pass through. Picture windows also add architectural interest to your home, creating a focal point in any room.
Installation Process
The installation of picture windows requires precision and expertise, as their large size demands a perfect fit. Our team ensures the structural integrity of the wall is maintained while securing the window in place, providing both aesthetic appeal and energy efficiency.
Maintenance and Care
Maintaining picture windows is relatively straightforward due to their stationary design. Regular cleaning of the glass will keep your views clear, and inspecting the sealant around the frame will help preserve the window’s energy efficiency.
Sliding
Sliding windows, or glider windows, have sashes that slide horizontally, making them an ideal choice for rooms facing walkways or patios where an outward-opening window would be impractical.
Benefits
Sliding windows offer a contemporary look and are incredibly easy to operate, making them suitable for all ages. Their design maximizes natural light and can make rooms appear larger. Plus, their simple mechanics make them less prone to maintenance issues.
Installation Process
The key to installing sliding windows is ensuring the track is level and clean, allowing for smooth operation. Our professionals carefully set and secure the window, ensuring a snug fit that improves energy efficiency and security.
Maintenance and Care
To maintain sliding windows, regularly clean the tracks to remove debris and ensure smooth operation. Lubricating the moving parts can also help prolong the life of the window and keep it operating smoothly.
Casement
Casement windows are attached to their frame by one or more hinges at the side, allowing them to open outward like a door. They are operated by a crank, making them easy to open and close, and are known for providing top-to-bottom ventilation.
Benefits
The benefits of casement windows include superior ventilation, as they can catch and direct breezes into the home. They also offer excellent energy efficiency, as the window seal is tighter when closed. Additionally, their design offers unobstructed views and enhanced security.
Installation Process
Casement window installation requires precision to ensure the window opens and closes correctly without straining the mechanism. Our team meticulously installs and secures the window, tests the crank mechanism, and ensures the seal is airtight for optimal performance.
Maintenance and Care
Maintaining casement windows involves lubricating the crank mechanism and hinges, cleaning the tracks, and checking the seal and weatherstripping regularly to ensure they remain energy efficient.

Custom Shape
These specialized windows are designed to fit unique architectural designs or personal preferences. Unlike standard rectangular windows, custom-shaped windows come in a variety of shapes such as circles, triangles, polygons, or arches, allowing homeowners to add distinctive elements to their home’s aesthetics.
Benefits
Custom shape windows offer unparalleled design flexibility, allowing homeowners to express their individuality and creativity in their living spaces. Whether it’s adding a circular window to a modern minimalist home or incorporating a Gothic arch window into a traditional setting, custom shape windows can elevate the overall look and feel of a property. Additionally, these windows can maximize natural light and views, as they can be strategically placed to capture sunlight or frame scenic vistas.
Installation Process
Installing custom shape windows requires careful measurement, precise cutting, and expert installation techniques to ensure a proper fit and structural integrity. We assess the specific requirements of each project, taking into account factors such as window size, shape, and placement. Specialized tools and equipment may be needed to handle unconventional shapes, and meticulous attention to detail is crucial to prevent air or water leakage. Proper installation is essential to maximize the performance and longevity of custom shape windows.
Maintenance and Care
Depending on the window material, gentle cleaning solutions and non-abrasive tools should be used to avoid scratching or damaging the surface. Inspecting the seals, frames, and hardware periodically is also important to detect any signs of wear or damage and address them promptly to prevent issues such as air leaks or water infiltration. By following a consistent maintenance routine, homeowners can preserve the beauty and functionality of their custom shape windows for years to come.
