The window industry is very complicated. Consider the reality that the windows you have in your home are not the only model of window ever made! The brands and models we have replicated are representative of over 40 years of window manufacturing. It is imperative we perform our due diligence to get every detail correct. The more detailed information you can provide us, the better equipped we will be to support you in your window needs. The following are a few tips to get you started.

First, did you search the sash profile catalog and product categories to see what we have available? We have merely a fraction of the 100’s of possible makes and models produced over the last 40 years. Just knowing the brand, maybe narrows it down to eight or ten. We need you to tell us, if we have what you need.

Second, are you having trouble understanding what information we need? We have added chat bots and check lists to our site to better assist you in navigating our website, along with helpful articles and conversations in our blog with folks having the same window issues as you. In the end, there is simply no way around the technical information we MUST have in order to produce a product. You may want to get a professional involved to help you if you are still having trouble.

Third, do you find yourself asking, "what's next"? Our easy 4 step process shown right on our home page walks you through our whole process.

Fourth, are you unsure about what you are getting? We get so many questions about sash specification. YES! Sashes come with weatherstripping on them. The specifications of every sash product along with detailed explanations are prominently displayed on each product page. Please take some time to review this information before contacting us with simple questions that have already been answered for you.

Finally, maybe we just don't have it! So much of our customer service energy goes to customers asking about something we don't sell. Quite frankly, if you can't find it on the website, it's not there. What is displayed on the site, is all we have available. Our most common "not for sale" items; We don't sell screens, we don't sell wood grills, we don't sell replacement glass, we don't sell incredibly specific little plastic parts, and most of our components are not brand specific. Cladding and weatherstripping for example is very universal in nature. We do not carry any original OEM parts from the manufacturer.
