Fiberglass is the frame built for Michigan weather. Pella windows in a five-layer composite that holds its shape through freeze and thaw, installed by our own employees and backed by a 15-year labor warranty.
Choose a Style
A window's style is how it opens, and that decides how much air you get, how easy it is to clean, and what the room looks like from inside. We install all six, in any material, backed by the same 15-year labor warranty.
Two sashes that slide up and down in the same frame. Both tilt inward, so you can wash the outside of a second-floor window standing in your own hallway. The most common window on Michigan homes, and the safest bet when you want the house to look the way it always has.
Hinged at the side and cranked open like a door. Because the whole sash swings clear, you get the full opening for air, and the seal presses tighter the harder the wind blows. Good over a kitchen sink or anywhere reaching a sash is awkward.
Hinged at the top so the bottom swings outward. The open sash acts as its own little roof, which means you can leave it cracked through a spring rain. Often set high on a wall or paired underneath a picture window.
One sash glides sideways past the other. No crank, no lifting, and nothing sticks out into the room or the yard. A practical choice for wide openings and for basements, hallways, and rooms where furniture sits against the wall.
Fixed glass that does not open. With no moving parts there is nothing to leak air, so a picture window is the most efficient shape we install, and the biggest view. Usually flanked by casements or double-hungs when you still want ventilation.
Several windows joined at an angle so the unit projects past the wall. It adds a shelf of usable space inside, pulls light in from three directions, and changes the front of the house more than any other single upgrade.

The Advantages
Michigan works a window frame hard: freeze, thaw, humid summer, again. Fiberglass holds its shape through all of it, so the seals stay seated, and slimmer frames leave more glass in the same opening.
Five-Layer Composite
The Pella fiberglass we install is built up from five layers, which is where the strength comes from.
Built for Freeze and Thaw
The composite resists the seasonal expansion that works other frames loose from their seals.
The Wood Look, No Upkeep
Finished to closely resemble a natural wood frame, with nothing to scrape or repaint.
15-Year Labor Warranty
Ours, on the installation, on top of Pella's own coverage on the window itself.
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.

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.

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.

Fiberglass Questions
Strength. The Pella fiberglass windows we install are made from a five-layer fiberglass composite, so the frames can be slimmer for the same opening and they hold their shape through temperature swings that make other frames move.
That is the case fiberglass is built for. The composite resists the expansion and contraction that comes with freeze and thaw, so the frame is not working against its own seals every season.
Yes. Fiberglass can be finished to closely resemble a natural wood frame, which is why people who want the wood look without the upkeep usually end up here.
A price in writing before anything is ordered. The in-home estimate is free, every opening is measured twice, and each window is ordered to the exact size of your opening.
We do. Our own factory-trained employees do the work, as a Pella Platinum Elite Certified Contractor, and the 15-year labor warranty comes from Adkins & Sons, so there is one company to call.
