Ann Arbor is in the area we serve, and has been for years. Adkins & Sons replaces windows, doors, and siding out of Southgate, family owned and working Southeast Michigan since 1979. Every job is installed by our own employees and backed by a 15-year labor warranty.
What We Do in Ann Arbor
Whatever the outside of your Ann Arbor home needs, it goes through our own employee crews, not subcontractors, and carries the same 15-year labor warranty.
Every opening is measured twice and the window is ordered to that exact size, so the unit fits the hole in your wall instead of being trimmed to fit on the day. Vinyl from Pella® and ProVia®, wood from the Pella Lifestyle line, fiberglass on the Duracast® composite.
Entry, French, patio, and storm doors, in fiberglass, steel, or wood. Drafts and sticking usually trace back to a door that no longer meets its weatherstrip, so we replace the whole unit and set it to the opening rather than hang a new slab in an old frame.
Vinyl panels interlock and hang loose on the wall, so they move with Michigan's temperature swings instead of splitting and peeling the way painted wood does. Nothing to scrape and nothing to repaint, and a wide range of colors and profiles.
Replacement windows
Vinyl sidingAll Three Trades
Most houses need more than one thing done to the outside. When all of it goes through one company, the warranty, the crew, and the phone number stay the same from the first opening to the last panel.
The 15-year labor warranty reads the same whether we replaced your windows, hung your doors, or sided the house: the frame set plumb and square, the sealing, the finished trim. One call to the office and we come back at no cost to you.
We have never handed a job to a subcontractor. The people siding your house are on the same payroll as the people who set your windows, and a lead installer is on every job.
We are a Pella Platinum Elite Certified Contractor, a status earned through factory training and audited installation quality rather than bought.
Adkins & Sons has been at this out of Southgate since 1979. Forty-seven years, three generations, and the same name on the truck the whole way.
We do not publish a price for windows, doors, or siding, because an honest one does not exist before someone has stood in your house.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. Our 4,000 sq. ft. showroom in Southgate has full-size windows and doors you can open and close yourself, which is worth the trip if you would rather not buy anything sight unseen.

Your Local Rep
DJ Brewer covers Ann Arbor and the rest of our western service area. Ask for DJ by name: DJ comes out for the free in-home estimate, measures the openings, walks you through the material options, and hands you the full price in writing before anything is ordered. If a question comes up mid-job, DJ is the person to call, and the phone rings in our Southgate office rather than a national call center.
Also in Our Area
We work out of Southgate, and Ann Arbor sits at the western end of the area we cover. Here is some of the rest of it.
What Sets Us Apart
The crew that measures your openings is the crew that installs them, and the warranty comes from the same company that sold you the job. There is no handoff to a subcontractor and no second number to call.
Employee Installers
Factory-trained crews on our own payroll, never subcontracted for the week.
Measured Twice
Every window and door is built to the exact opening, so nothing is trimmed to fit on the day.
15-Year Labor Warranty
On the installation, on top of the manufacturer's coverage on the product itself.
Three Generations
Family-owned since 1979, and a lead installer is on every job to check the work.
Why It Matters
When the company that sells the job is not the company that shows up to do it, a warranty call two years later turns into a search for whoever actually held the drill. That is why we have never used subcontractors. The crew at your house is on our payroll, a lead installer is on every job, and the 15-year labor warranty comes from us. Call about it in year nine and you get the same family company that did the work, at the same Southgate office, at the same number.

Our Process
Four steps, one point of contact, and a clean home when we leave.
01
We come to your Ann Arbor home, measure, listen, and give you straight numbers. Or start at the Southgate showroom and see the options in person 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
One Real Place
Every window, door, and siding sample on our floor is one we actually install. Open and close the real thing, compare colors in person instead of from a chip, and talk to the family that has run this company since 1979. The phone rings at this address, not at a call center.
Questions
Not seeing your question? Call and ask. You will get someone in our Southgate office, not a call center, and the estimate is free either way.
734 283 7120Yes. Ann Arbor is named in our service area alongside Downriver, and the in-home estimate is free wherever the house is. Call the office and we will get you on the schedule.
Yes, and that is the reason to hand all three to one company. The same employee crews do the work, so you get one point of contact, one schedule, and one 15-year labor warranty covering it, instead of three outfits pointing at each other when something needs attention.
That depends on the house and the window, and the city decides it, not us. Ann Arbor has fifteen local historic districts, and inside one the Historic District Commission reviews exterior work before the building permit is applied for. Windows installed before 1945 on a contributing structure are treated as character-defining and are expected to be repaired rather than replaced. Start by checking whether your address is in a district, then talk to us about what the approved options actually are.
We come to your house, measure the openings, and listen to what is actually bothering you about the windows, doors, or siding you have now. You leave with the full price in writing and no pressure to sign that day.
Yes. Our 4,000 sq. ft. showroom in Southgate has full-size windows and doors on display. It is a drive from Ann Arbor, and worth it if you would rather open and close a window yourself than judge one from a brochure.
Adkins & Sons employees, factory-trained installers on our own payroll. We don't hand your home to subcontractors, and a lead installer is on every job.
Yes. We have worked Michigan winters since 1979 and install year-round, one opening at a time, so your house is never left standing open to the weather.
Two layers. The manufacturer covers the product itself, and our 15-year labor warranty covers the installation: the frame set plumb and square, the sealing, the finished trim. If any of it needs attention, one call to our office handles it at no cost to you. We register the warranty at the final walkthrough, so there is nothing for you to mail in.
Yes, flexible financing is available if you want it. Either way the estimate is free and the full price comes in writing before anything is ordered, so you know the whole number before you decide how to pay it.
