"NIGHTMARE! We met Peter Bulgar at the home show in March 2019. He is a smooth and fast talker and we were happy to be promised installation before hurricane season. Mistake and more mistakes with poor response time and worse communication, the installation finally began in mid October. Permits said replacing like with same whereas we were knocking out full CBS walls to out in doors! Lies abound and grew and errors were abundant! All doors were hung backwards, sloppy workmanship, one door was tampered/vandalized to hide it not functioning properly, rather than repairing it or ordering a new working door. They literally removed a locking pin and caulked it closed! If unfounded by us, this would impair the locking mechanism! We could not lock our front door from outside for the last 3 months. We are still missing 2 screens and still have touch up work to complete, yet a few hours after the front door lock was finally replaced today, we received a threatening email at 9pm that the full payment of over $57,000 was due by tomorrow end of day or Max Guard would void our warranty and we would need to speak with their lawyer. Please note, they had 4 people working here all day yesterday and just replaced the door lock today. This is the most dishonest and disorganized company we have ever experienced. We paid top dollar for inexperienced workers and an unprofessional company. Not sure if this will end up in court or if our doors will withstand the winds, but this experience has exhausted us. Please go to any other company. Do not be fooled by their advertised 0% financing. Peter even told me last month that it does not exist. WOW."

Thanks for visiting EOR Remodeling! My name is Edwin and I've been in the industry for over 10 years completing all types of handyman work across the Palm Beach area! From interior to exterior, we are your one place to help clear up that project list!
"I highly recommend Edwin for any project. His work is impeccable and high quality. He completed two projects for me recently. First, he enclosed a large open loft area by removing a bannister and building an insulated wall. The finished product is indistinguishable from the rest of our home and the new wall feels like it was always there. This is provided a huge upgrade for our quality of living as it provides more privacy and sound barrier. Second, he built an oversized closet in an area that was wasted space. Storage is limited in our home and this new closet is incredibly useful. Again, his work matches with the original esthetics of our home and it feels like the closet has always been there. I can't say enough positive things about Edwin. I will certainly use him for any other projects I might have in the future."

Wooden replacement windows have an impressive lifespan, typically lasting up to 45 years or more with proper maintenance. Regular care, including painting or staining every few years and prompt repairs of any moisture issues, will maximize their durability. Wood windows outlast vinyl alternatives, which need replacement after 20 to 30 years. The specific wood species and local climate conditions also influence longevity, with hardwoods and moderate climates offering the best performance.
Wooden windows generally provide better natural insulation than vinyl windows, though the difference depends largely on the overall window construction. Wood offers superior thermal resistance properties, helping maintain indoor temperatures more effectively. However, modern vinyl windows with quality weatherstripping and multi-pane glass can perform comparably. The most significant energy efficiency factors include proper installation, glass type (double or triple-pane), gas fills between panes, and weatherstripping quality—regardless of frame material.
Wooden windows require regular upkeep to maintain their beauty and functionality. You'll need to inspect them annually for signs of moisture damage, peeling finish, or deteriorating seals. Typically, exterior surfaces need repainting or restaining every three to five years, depending on sun exposure and weather conditions. Interior surfaces generally require less frequent treatment. Additionally, hardware may need occasional lubrication, and weatherstripping should be replaced when showing signs of wear to maintain energy efficiency.
For a standard wooden window installation, professional contractors typically require about two to four hours per window. This timeframe includes removing the existing window, preparing the opening, installing the new unit, and ensuring proper sealing and finishing. Factors that can extend this timeline include discovering hidden structural issues, complex trim work, or challenging access points. For most homes with multiple window replacements, the entire project might span one to three days depending on the number of windows.
Replacing a single wooden window is entirely feasible and makes perfect sense when only one window shows damage or deterioration. However, if multiple windows are aging or showing similar wear patterns, a complete replacement often proves more economical in the long run. Window contractors typically offer better per-unit pricing for multiple installations, and replacing all windows simultaneously ensures consistent appearance, energy performance, and warranty coverage. Consider your budget, the condition of remaining windows, and your long-term plans for the property.
