Family owned & operated. Additional DBA - A B C Seamless of Northeast Ohio Inc, Fantastic Floors, A B C Seamless Siding
"We couldn't be happier! Product is excellent and dramatically improved our garage. Everyone I dealt with at Miller Custom Exteriors was very friendly and professional, especially Jaron. There were no high pressure sales tactics, just an estimate and thorough explanation. The installers were very friendly and did excellent work, including cleaning up at the end of the job."

"Would give no stars if that was possible!! Horrible customer service, poor craftmanship, never an apology when the job was done wrong. Took over a year to get a simple roof and siding job done....still not fully completed. Will not respond to messages. Crews could not communicate in English had to call a 3rd party person for translation. Left work site an absolute mess that we had to clean up. Every time something was mentioned that needed to be fixed had to fight and argue to get someone to come out and fix the issue, workers walked off the job leaving my house to be open to water damage with rain storm approaching, had to secure my house myself from water damage. Every time some one actually came out to try to fix a problem another problem was created. Careless working crew. All about the money but never a quality job. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY BUYER BEWARE!!!"

At Window Nation, we know replacement windows. We’re third-generation window replacement experts who have been lucky to provide homeowners replacement windows, siding, and doors for over fifteen years. We opened our first showroom in Maryland in 2006, quickly growing to serve homeowners in cities across the country – and we’re not stopping there. We’re grateful for every homeowner who has trusted us to upgrade their most important asset: their home. We’ve learned a lot about home improvement over the years, but the most important thing we learned isn’t about window replacement. We learned the home improvement industry isn’t about offering the best windows, siding and doors; it’s about the relationships we build with our customers.
"Every part of our dealing with Window Nation was great. From the product quality, initial contact at Cleveland’s Home and Garden show to the sales appointment and through the install. All the reps we dealt with were informative, professional and courteous. The install of 10 windows, including a picture window that replaced 2 standard side by side windows, went without a problem. The installers were on time, worked throughout the work day, and thoroughly cleaned up before leaving. All in all a great experience and I would highly recommend them."

Window Universe has become the leading window and door company in town. We are 100% locally owned and operated. Due to our size we can offer big company pricing and warranties along with the care that a local company provides. It's the best of both worlds. We offer full service energy efficient replacements from very economical vinyl windows to complete full frame historic wood windows and everything in between. Give us a call to see what so many other Angie's List members have been raving about. This is the reason you signed up for Angie's List.
"Purchasing windows for your home is serious business...and you will be spending serious money. I met with no less than four different window companies before making a final decision - that is a major investment in time, let me tell you. Some of those presentations were THREE hours long. In the end, it was a pretty obvious choice between two companies - Window Universe and one other unnamed company. That's when I checked out the online reviews...and then I visited the Window Universe office in Lakewood. From there, it was an easy decision. I can't recall reading a bad review. Usually you can find your 5-10% of customers who are unhappy with anything and everything...but those folks weren't out there. Everyone raved about Window Universe. And the salesmen were all so laid back and seemingly honest - they trusted the product and let it sell itself. I had heard the presentations from "the other guys" who had a price tag that was 4x the Window Universe price...and I just wasn't feeling it. I wasn't about to drop $30k on windows when WU offered a quality product with a lifetime warranty, as well. Fast forward to today...two days after the work was completed. Communication during the ordering and manufacturing process was fantastic (thank you, Ellie), and the guys that did the installation were top notch. I felt bad - they showed up early and stayed late - and never took a break or ate lunch. I felt compelled to bring donuts and to run to Starbuck's for a box of coffee to keep them going in the cold and rainy weather, but they didn't mind at all - they were like the Energizer Bunny. Laughing. So I'm very happy with the entire process...from the sales (Chad), to updates (Ellie), to all the guys that did the installation (there are too many names to mention - I wish I could remember everyone!). As I mentioned at the beginning of this review - ordering windows for an entire home is nerve-wracking...but Window Universe made it easy...and they really came through for us. 5-star review, for sure!"

Wainscoting installations FAQs
Wainscoting is decorative paneling that covers the lower part of a wall, adding style and protection. Beadboard is a popular type of wainscoting characterized by long, vertical panels with raised beads—small indentations or ridges between the planks. It's commonly used on walls and ceilings to add depth and character. Both wainscoting and beadboard are versatile options that allow you to enhance your indoor and outdoor spaces. Beadboard panels lock together with a tongue-and-groove joint, while shiplap—a similar style—uses a square-shaped rabbet joint.
The top of the wainscoting should be set at one-third of the room’s height. So, for a standard room with nine-foot ceilings, the wainscoting should extend exactly three feet. This precise measurement creates a balanced, elegant look that enhances overall room proportions and delivers a classic design appearance.
Wainscoting can make a room look smaller if the room has low ceilings. The same rule applies with wainscoting as it does with painting any space: In order to make the room look larger and more open, paint it a light color like white or cream. Since beadboard incorporates vertical lines in the paneling, this style of wainscoting is ideal for those wanting to make a room appear larger than it is.
While wainscoting can technically be used in any room, you’ll typically want to reserve it for a more open space, like a foyer where you want to make a dynamic first impression or a bathroom with tall ceilings. Avoid using wainscoting in small spaces with low ceilings. Open concepts like a living room and kitchen combination also don’t work well with wainscoting because there isn’t a clean break point along the walls.
Wainscoting can increase home value because it offers a refined design element that boosts buyer interest. Its elegant finish and distinctive style enhance interior aesthetics and generate a positive market impression, therefore confidently increasing the property’s overall desirability and resale value.
