 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Scott DeWitt is the absolute 100% reason for my review being 5 stars instead of 3. He was a great installer, timely, respectful, genuine, and did the job right. Everything else unrelated to his work wasn’t all that impressive. Thanks Scott for the top tier work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We discovered this company while visiting relatives in Ohio. Since our initial contact to replace two sets of French Doors, the entire process has been exceptional, simple, and the products are of the highest quality (while not the priciest in the market!) No hesitation to recommend this company to anyone.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Keith came out to review and quote our project. He was timely and informative. Then Thomas came out to install the windows - he was early (AWESOME), polite, completed the task quickly, and cleaned up after himself. We are happy with our windows too - they look great. We'll definitely work with this team again on our future window projects.

Having trouble picking a style for your new replacement windows? You might want to try looking at installing sliding windows – there are many reasons why they’re one of the most popular window styles on the market.

Ease of Use

Unlike more popular window styles, sliding windows have simple opening mechanisms and are, therefore, easy to open. All it takes to open sliding windows is a gentle push. Sliding windows’ ease of use makes them a great addition for hard-to-reach areas in your home like the space above your kitchen sink, for instance.

Ease of Maintenance

Don’t have a lot of time for window maintenance? Thanks to their simple, easy-to-use opening mechanisms, sliding windows have fewer maintenance needs than other popular types of windows. When cleaning your sliding windows, what you need to pay attention to are the tracks and corners of the window panels.

Buying tip: if you want to reduce your new windows’ maintenance needs as much as possible, vinyl replacement windows would be a good choice. Vinyl windows have the lowest maintenance needs on the market.

Great Views and Design Flexibility

Sliding windows’ designs are relatively simple. As such, they complement a wide variety of designs and provide more expansive views of the scenery outside. As a rule of thumb, the less intricate your windows’ design is, the wider their glass area, and the better the view of your backyard is.

Buying tip: sliding windows’ wide glass panels come with a drawback: There’s a higher risk heat can escape through the glass surface. That’s why you should look for the ENERGY STAR® logo. Only windows that have been independently tested and verified to meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s energy performance standards have this logo.

One more thing: make sure to vet a contractor before hiring them. Here’s a vetting tip: the longer a contractor has been working in the industry, the higher their level of expertise.
