A: Most of the time the installation takes one day. The spirit of our comment is to get your job done right and do it quickly. Actually, the length of time depends on each situation and the number of windows and/or doors we'll be installing. Our installation crews are the cleanest, most professional, knowledgeable, and efficient installers in the industry. The quality and care we take is unsurpassed. An average home can take as little as a day with a crew consisting of 2-4 men. We staff up as needed on a job where the number of windows and doors is large. Other companies could take up to two days due to lack of experience, knowledge, and expertise. Our goal is to not inconvenience our homeowners and to offer the highest quality available.

rain?
A: We will reschedule your installation. There are many hazards when working in the rain with vinyl, glass, and electrical tools. We cannot guarantee that you will be re-scheduled for the next available dry day, but you will be given top priority. During the rainy season we constantly check the weather forecast in order to give homeowners as much advance warning as possible.
Q: I work and
cannot be home
during the week,
do you install
on Saturdays?
A: Yes we do. We try to let or homeowners know that they will have a better chance of getting an install date within 4 weeks of ordering if they're scheduled during the week. We recommend arranging for a relative or friend to be present at your home that day rather than waiting for an available Saturday. They book up quickly!!!!
Q: What is Low E
glass and how
does it work?
A: Low E stands for low emissitivity. It is a technologically advanced glass that utilizes a microscopic coating made from liquid titanium to reflect heat and block ultraviolet rays.
