We are a Pella Platinum Elite Certified Contractor, and Pella windows make up most of what we install: the 250 Series in vinyl, the Lifestyle Series in wood, and Impervia in fiberglass, plus Pella patio doors. Each one is measured to your opening and hung by our own employee crews, with Pella's product warranty and our 15-year labor warranty on the installation.

What We Install
Three window lines, one for each frame material. The matching Pella patio doors, sliding with triple weatherstripping or hinged and sealing by compression, are on the door pages. Every one can be opened and closed at our 4,000 sq. ft. Southgate showroom before you decide.
Vinyl. Multichambered frames, metal-reinforced interlocking sashes, InsulShield low-E glass with argon, a cam-action lock and the Hidden Screen. Five solid colors plus dual-color exteriors.
Wood. ENERGY STAR rated, with double- or triple-pane glass and integrated blinds among the options, and interiors stained or painted to order to match the trim you already have.
Fiberglass. Duracast five-layer composite frames that hold their shape through Michigan freeze and thaw, finished to look like painted wood.
We do not publish a price for windows, doors, or siding, because an honest one does not exist before someone has stood in your house. Cost tracks the size of the openings, the materials you pick, and what the crew finds once the old units come out. What we promise is the full number in writing at the estimate, before anything is ordered, with no pressure to sign that day.
Flexible financing is available if you want it. You can also walk our 4,000 sq. ft. showroom in Southgate and operate full-size windows and doors yourself before you commit to anything.

What the Badge Means
Platinum Elite is Pella's top contractor tier. It is earned, not bought: crews are factory-trained and certified directly by Pella, and the installation quality is audited. It is also why the product warranty and our labor warranty sit together with no gap between them.
Factory-Trained Crews
The installers are Adkins & Sons employees, trained and certified directly by Pella, never a subcontracted crew hired for the week.
Audited Installation
The certification is kept by doing the work to Pella's standard job after job; it lapses when the work slips.
Two Warranties, No Gap
Pella covers the product. Our 15-year labor warranty covers the installation. One call to our office handles either.
Since Before Most Competitors
In our own words on our story page: Adkins & Sons is Michigan's oldest Pella Certified Installer, and the certification has held since.
What Sets Us Apart
When the company that sold you the job is not the company that installed it, a warranty call two years later turns into a search for whoever did the work. We do not work that way. Our own employees do the installation, never subcontractors, and the 15-year labor warranty comes from us, so there is one company to call.

Our Process
Four steps, one point of contact, and a clean home when we leave.
01
We come to your home, measure, listen, and give you straight numbers. Or stop by the Southgate showroom and see the options first.
02
Every opening is measured twice, and every window and door is ordered to the exact size of your opening, so installation day has no surprises.
03
Our own factory-trained crew does the work, protects your floors and landscaping, and hauls away the old materials.
04
We walk the finished job with you and register your 15-year labor warranty before we leave.
Warranty
15
Years Warranty
Every installation is backed by our industry-leading 15-year labor warranty, on top of the manufacturer's coverage on the window itself. If the workmanship ever needs attention, one call and we make it right, at no cost to you.
180 Month
2
Years Warranty
Most window companies stand behind their installation for only a year or two. Once that coverage runs out, drafts, leaks, and seal failures become the homeowner's problem to fix.
24 Month
