  History of the Double Hung Window If you notice the old stand alone farm house in the country, you will see tall trees around the house to provide shade. This has a cooling effect for the house and the surrounding area. These older homes also had a lot of windows that were tall and narrow. The tall windows would project light deep inside the house. This was particularly helpful before electricity when lighting was poor. In order to get this cool air from outside of the house to inside the hot house is where the Double Hung Window comes in. By lowering the top sash this allows the rising hot air to flow out and by raising the lower sash a little, allowed cool air from outside to flow in creating a convection effect. That is the old fashion air conditioning. Double Hung Window Now we know why the Double Hung Window was created back in the day!

The Window Man Distinctive

Each spring, as other companies begin running their new sales, I am reminded of what sets Window Man apart from the rest of the industry. As I watch the "Three For Two", "Buy One Get One", "$250 Off", and numerous other similar deals roll out we really do stand out from the crowd. At Window Man Inc., you won't see us offering all the "deals" you hear about elsewhere.  Instead, you will find honest, upfront, competitive pricing for the very best windows installed by master installers!  We don't mark up our products and services in order to mark them down during special sales.  We don't spend hours in homes negotiating with our customers in an attempt to secure the most money possible. As a family owned and operated business, our reputation is very important to us and we choose to do things differently.  We work hard to select the very best American made windows for our customers and always set our prices responsibly.  Our customer

Lupus Awareness Month

May is Lupus awareness month.  During this month the color purple, the purple ribbon and the butterfly are used to recognize Lupus awareness.  Events are held throughout the month and year to raise funds for Lupus research.  Lupus is a chronic inflammatory disease that occurs when the body's immune system attacks its own tissues and organs. Inflammation caused by lupus can affect many different body systems — including the joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart and lungs.  Lupus can be very difficult to diagnose and is often very debilitating.  Sadly, there is no known cure for Lupus. Several years ago one of our employees was diagnosed with Lupus.  Seeing her health struggles made us aware of the many in our nation who struggle with Lupus each day.  As a result, all of us at Window Man have supported Lupus awareness month for the past five years.  Each May we pull together a team to walk in the "Walk to End Lupus Now" event.  During this time we welcom

The Right Fit!

I have to admit, I am a bit of a do-it-yourselfer.  However, it seems like each year I discover another thing that is just best left to the professionals. A few years ago, before I met the amazing team of professionals at Window Man Inc, I decided to give exterior door installation a shot.  We had an old door at the back of our house that just did not hold up well through the years.  My wife suggested we hire the professionals but I had determined to do it myself.  Against my wife's better judgement, we headed down to the local hardware store, picked out a door and made our way back to the house.  After about an hour I had the old door and frame out and was shocked at the amount of damage the water leaking around the old door had caused.  With a large opening in the back of the house, I headed back to the hardware store for more supplies.  I spent the rest of my afternoon fixing the wood and finally had the door in place just in time to keep the mosquitos out.  Feeling rea

Spring Weather has Arrived!

SPRING HAS ARRIVED!  It looks like spring has really finally arrived and beautiful weather is here!  There is nothing quite like getting through a long, cold winter and throwing your windows open on both sides of the house and letting the wind rush through.  The smell of spring and the feeling of the fresh wind in the house is amazing.  Almost as amazing as the feeling of the spring wind coming through the windows is the joy of opening a reduced power bill.  Spring really is a win, win! A season where you get to enjoy the fresh air while reducing the cost of your power by turning off your HVAC System.  Sadly, for some of you today, the act of opening the windows has become a chore so difficult that you have just given up.  It just does not seem worth the effort of using a hammer, scraper, screwdriver and razor to spend hours just to pry the window open then have to prop it with something in order for it to stay up.  If this is you, don't miss another spring.  Give 

The Window Man Warranty

Imagine you just purchased your new windows a month ago.   You invested thousands of dollars on replacing all the windows in your home and you were loving the benefits the new windows you purchased from Window Man inc.   Each spring morning you opened the windows and let the cool morning breeze blow through the house.   Your new windows were amazing.   Then the unthinkable happened! As you were looking out the kitchen window you saw your children playing baseball just a little too close to the house.   Just as you slid the window open to tell them to be careful, the ball came crashing through your new living room window!   You were too late!   One of your new windows was broken.   It is not surprising that scenarios like this happen far too often.   No matter how hard you try to be careful, accidents do happen.   Whether it is from a baseball by the kids or a rock from the mower, windows are broken every day.    That’s why Window Man created our Glass breakage warranty.   We want
