Our new windows

by Jeanette S

Last year we put in new windows in our 40 year old house. We chose Quinn Windows in Tucker, GA because they carry the necessary insurance...many contractors do not have Work.Comp....and we were delighted. We even had brick cut down in our den wall to make the window taller! Their work was 100%! Last month we saved 30% on or electric bill and this month-one of the hottest on record for Atlanta-we saved 13%. These figures were taken from our power bill on KW hours used. The good thing is we were much more comfortable this year than ever before. In fact, we used our 110 V A/C units less than last year (if you have an old 2 story house in Atlanta that does not have separated unites, you almost have to have a window unit to cool the house for bedtime)! The brand of window they install is Simonton. We checked out the window manufacturer and the contractor thoroughly before chosing Them! Windows are costly, but water seaping into the walls of your house from rain can be even more costly! Bad roofs, gutters and windows can cause damage and wind up costing big bucks in the long run. This photo shows our new windows!

This is the only photo I have of windows taken from the outside...We love them!

  @Michelle Hamill This is a pretty big expenditure, but when they get to the point you can't open them and rain is seeping into the structure of your house, you just have to do it The windows facing the directly West into the sun had taken a beating after 40 years! We took our time and found a contractor that had liability AND workmens comp which so many do not carry, and he did it in 2 stages...I told him I wanted to see his work before I contracted for all of it. This was one of the best expenditures we have made on our home! P.S. Find a contractor and do it in stages! Luckily, I was able to finish up mine within about 6 weeks.
