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."

The Gridiron Guys are the premiere roofing company in Northeast Ohio for one simple reason: Quality. Our work speaks for itself, and our customers are telling their friends. Schedule your FREE inspection and estimate today. https://gigconstruction.com
"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!!!"

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!"

Prior to founding Radiant Windows in 2001, my wife and I traveled around the country and different parts of the world designing windows, equipment, and factories for the window industry. We know windows. We are truly experts when it comes to helping people to make the right choices when deciding to purchase new windows and doors and all the little details that go with them and within their budget.
"Everything exceeded expectations. From sales to installation, the experience was great. The windows are well made and attractive. There was no sales pressure and everything was explained. The installers were awesome. Polite, courteous, and professional, they worked quickly and quietly. They were very respectful of our property and cleaned up when the job was completed."

Family owned and operated since 1944, Wallside sells directly to the homeowner, manufacturing and installing its own products. With a factory/showroom located in Taylor, Mich., the vinyl window manufacturer services two thirds of the lower peninsula of Michigan and northwest portions of Ohio.
"Had a couple windows installed on Tues. June 20th. The screen on one was ripped, the installer said they would put a order in right away and have it out this week. There was no signoff's on work. Some of the caulk jobs around the windows are a little sub-par for my liking. Not the best quality work. Called the office for clarification on when my screen would be here this week. They had no knowledge of it, and it had to be ordered. Now it'll be July 8th before they can get out here. Had used their competitor (Hansons) for my last house. The comparison between the two is much different. Will probably go back to Hansons for the rest of the house here."

On average, replacing a deck railing costs about $925. This includes all the materials and labor needed to install a new porch or deck railing system with a durable finish. For instance, adding a new handrail on your front steps costs around $80 per linear foot. This price ensures your new railing is safe, looks great, and meets building codes.
Balusters and spindles offer structural support to the railing and run from the footing to the handrail. While their names are often used interchangeably, these support posts differ in their footing design. Balusters rest on a step, floor, or deck, while spindles have a footing rail attached to the bottom of the posts.
Choosing the right contractor for stair railing replacement is determined by the project’s complexity. A general contractor provides professional expertise and precision for a design that involves custom curves or intricate details. For straightforward installations, a qualified handyman delivers efficient service. Hiring skilled professionals guarantees that the installation meets all safety and building code requirements while ensuring lasting quality.
If it's still structurally sound, you can update your existing stair railing without removing it. By repairing any damages and then painting or refinishing it, you can give your staircase a fresh new look. This approach saves time and money while ensuring your railing meets all safety and building code requirements.
Reusing your existing stair spindles is a practical option when they’re in good condition. Notifying your contractor in advance is essential to ensure the spindles are preserved during removal. After removal, refinishing the spindles with a fresh coat of paint or stain will match them with your new railing design while maintaining sustainability and a cohesive aesthetic.
Stair railing balusters are mandated to maintain a spacing of no more than four inches apart. This precise measurement prevents a four-inch sphere from passing through and ensures the railing system is secure. Maintaining this gap is essential for structural integrity and safety. Be sure to verify that your installation meets these requirements as specified by local building codes.
