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 really good about myself, I sat down in our family room and looked over my work with pride.  It really did look great, until the next day.  As I walked up to the door to leave I couldn't help but notice the light coming in from around the door.  It wasn't square!  Light was coming in and air was pouring out through the crack.  Greatly frustrated, I removed the trim and began to fix the door.  After several hours I finally had it right! 

My wife helped me realize very quickly why I will leave exterior door installation to the professionals at Window Man Inc. moving forward.  Once it was finally done, my wife asked me, very politely, how many hours it took to complete the job.  She then asked how much my income averages out per hour.   It didn't take me long to realize what I had really accomplished.  I had a mediocre door (I could have gotten a much better one from the pros), a sub par installation and no warranty.  All at a very high price and the loss of two days of my life. 

This summer we are adding French Doors to the back of our house leading out to our deck.  I am so excited to have the experts at Window Man Inc. complete the installation.  My wife and I selected an amazing door from Window Man Inc. and I am certain the installation team will do an excellent job on the installation.  We are really looking forward to looking at those doors with pride for many years to come knowing we bought a great door from a great company who stands behind their work.

  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!                                   ...

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"...

Hello, I’m Rance Kleiber Sr., the owner and president of Window Man Inc. After spending 30 years in the home improvement business, there are a number of reasons I opened Window Man Inc. First, the high pressure sales people don’t respect our time. Also, the poor quality of workmanship and installers with no respect for our home or property. All of these reasons inspired me to open a family owned and operated window company serving the metro area and surrounding counties. I opened Window Man Inc. in 1999. We carry the highest quality products with the best prices and we treat our customers the way we would like to be treated, with respect. Here at Window Man Inc. we have an A+ rating and complaint free on the BBB and Angie’s list. We never charge a service fee, we offer life-time glass breakage warranty to all of our homeowners and our window installers are in-house employees, no sub-contractors. That’s what has made our company one of the best in town, we are down ...
