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.
"Started badly because installers showed up, claimed I wasn't at home (I was), and left. So had to book installation for a week later. Installation went well, and the product is excellent - which is the most important thing. But as for any after-sales service, forget it. They didn't tell me that had ordered full-window screens, so I contacted them to order some half-window replacement screens, and it has been near-impossible to get a response. The "project manager" (Bernadette) is never in and never responds to messages, and you can only reach the local "sales manager" (Steve) via an 866 phone number in Maryland. (You leave him a message, he maybe calls you back.) I need to order more windows, and have told them so, but have also told them it is dependent on them fixing the screen problem. Do they want any business? Or are they happy just to take your money for the first installation and then forget you? Looks like the latter."

"I had originally called as I had some storm damage and needed them to look at a couple shingles. When they came out, they assured me they didn't need to go up onto the roof at all and told me I had some nail pops and the obvious shingles that were missing. I was quoted for the work (just under $1000) and had to put $500 as a deposit. fast forward to the day they came out. Not only did they bring a shingle not even close but when the project manager was up on the roof told me that I had way more going on up on the roof and they highly recommend replacing the whole roof due to water damage and condition of shingles. At this point I did my due diligence and shopped around after getting the quote for a full roof replacement. I got quotes from 4 other companies who all came up quite a bit lower (material costs across the board were lower), and the icing on the cake was the fact that EVERY SINGLE ONE asked me the question why didn't the first company go up on the roof at first as they all agreed I needed to replace it. So, if Cochran would have just went on the roof in the first place I wouldn't have had to even put the original deposit in which they didn't even fix issues as it needed replaced and so I paid essentially $500 for them to caulk a couple place and not just go on the roof THE FIRST TIME and find the issue up front... I called to let them know I was going with another company who was a much lower quote for the exact same work, and they didn't even offer a refund (ethical thing to do since they didn't even go on roof at first) and even admitted that they should have just gone on the roof the first time when I asked them to! If you are looking for a quote from this company, all I have to say is just avoid or be careful."

"It took THI a year to complete the project. Biggest problem with this company is lack of communication across the entire company, including Steve, the owner. We were to have windows installed in July 2021 but nobody came to install or told us they were not coming. This went on throughout 2021 with scheduled appointments and then several excuses for why they were not coming. We didn't know they were not coming until we called and asked them. Finally in October 2021 2 installers came to put in windows. Ted, the installer started talking how he could "build up the bottom of the window" and we asked why he needed to do that. 1 window was 3" shorter than the old window and the other 5 windows were 4" shorter than our old windows. We refused the windows and sent them back with Ted. Nobody bothered to call us about that. Finally, we get an install date for May 1. Again, no show, no call. At last, Ted showed up on June 13 and had windows installed and wrapped by Friday. We were on vacation the following week. On Monday, June 27 I texted Ted to see when he would be back to finish trim and staining on inside. He "wasn't sure". On Friday, July 1 I emailed THI explaining that my husband starts chemo on July 7 and it would be great to have this project behind us. Ted came on Saturday July 2. A walkthrough was scheduled for 2 on July 5. When Quinn didn't show up or call by 3 I called him. He has covid and thought his office would call and reschedule appt. On Wed. AM Corey came, took pictures, left some THI stuff and picked up the check. We have never had so many problems with a company communicating with us. These people can't be trusted to follow through on much of anything. It's terrible I had to play the "cancer card" to get a response."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Muncie, IN
A standard outdoor handrail installation takes an average of eight hours for a professional to complete a five to 10-foot section. This includes time for proper measurement, securing mounting hardware, and ensuring the railing is level and stable.
More complex installations involving multiple sections or challenging mounting surfaces may require additional time. Weather conditions can also affect the timeline, particularly for installations requiring concrete work or certain adhesives that need specific temperatures to cure properly.
Aluminum offers the best combination of weather resistance and value for outdoor handrails. Unlike wood, it won't rot, warp, or require regular sealing, and unlike steel or iron, it naturally resists rust without special coatings. Vinyl and composite materials also perform well in various weather conditions, but may not provide the same structural strength as metal options.
For coastal areas with salt exposure or regions with extreme temperature fluctuations, powder-coated aluminum provides excellent durability with minimal maintenance requirements.
Most localities require building permits for outdoor handrail installations, especially for front entrances or elevated decks. Permit costs range from $20 to $30, though requirements vary significantly by location. Building codes specify requirements for handrail height (36 to 42 inches), spacing between balusters (less than four inches), and load-bearing capacity.
Checking with your local building department before beginning installation helps ensure your project will meet all safety requirements and avoid potential fines or required modifications later.
Building codes often require handrails for any elevated surface that rises more than 30 inches above ground level. Additionally, many local regulations mandate railings for staircases with multiple steps, particularly in areas accessible to the public.
Even if your steps don't meet the minimum height requirement for mandatory railings, adding handrails significantly improves safety for all users, especially during inclement weather or at night. A local building inspector or contractor can evaluate your specific situation and advise on both code requirements and safety recommendations.
