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.

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

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

  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!
