At Adkins & Sons, we are proud to be the Detroit home improvement company homeowners rely on. Our mission is simple: help you enhance your living space, increase your home’s value, and create the home you’ve always envisioned.
What We Do in Detroit
Whatever the outside of your Detroit home needs, we handle it with our own employee crews, not subcontractors, and back the work with the same 15-year labor warranty.
Vinyl, wood, and fiberglass, measured twice and ordered to the exact size of your opening.
Entry, patio, and storm doors, set plumb and weatherstripped so they seal and keep sealing.
Panels that interlock and hang loose enough to move with the weather, in a range of colors and profiles.
The housing we work on
Replacement windowsAll Three Trades
Detroit homes are not one thing: classic brick houses and wood-framed bungalows sit on the same street, and they do not want the same work on the outside. Handing all of it to one company is how the warranty and the crew stay the same across it.
A brick house takes its windows in a masonry opening; a wood-framed bungalow takes them in a wall that has moved. We measure every opening twice and order to that number either way, so nothing is trimmed to fit on the day.
On a house with character worth keeping, the finish carpentry around a new window or door is most of what you actually see afterwards. That is our own crews' work, not a subcontractor's, and it is covered by the same warranty as the unit.
The same 15-year labor warranty covers windows, doors and siding: 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.
Adkins & Sons has been at this out of Southgate since 1979, and every installer is on our payroll. The people who measure your openings are the people who stand behind them.
We do not publish a price for windows, doors, or siding, because an honest one does not exist before someone has stood in your house.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.

Your Local Rep
Giuseppe Alongi is one of our remodeling consultants and covers Detroit and the rest of our eastern service area. Ask for Giuseppe by name: Giuseppe 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, Giuseppe is the person to call, and the phone rings in our Southgate office rather than a national call center.
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 in Detroit. Our own employees do the installation, never subcontractors, and the 15-year labor warranty comes from us, so there is one company to call.

01
We come to your Detroit 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
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 7120Your actual budget depends on project scope, material selection, and house size. We offer free estimates with detailed pricing and provide transparent proposals so you understand exactly what’s covered before making any commitment to your exterior remodeling project.
Big box retailers subcontract installations to third-party crews with inconsistent quality and accountability. Adkins & Sons employs dedicated, factory-trained installation teams who work exclusively for our company. Our lead installer personally visits every job site, we offer a 15-year labor guarantee (vs. subcontractor warranties), and we’ve been serving Detroit for 45+ years as a family business.
Project costs vary based on the scope of work, materials selected, and your home’s specific needs. Window replacement typically ranges from several hundred to several thousand dollars depending on size and style. We provide free estimates with transparent pricing and no hidden costs. Our team helps you find solutions that deliver great value within your budget while saving you money over time.
Window and door replacements typically take 1-2 days depending on the job size. Custom products require 5-6 weeks to manufacture before our team can install them. Complete siding projects take 3-7 days for average-sized homes. We schedule work during Michigan’s best weather months (May-October) and coordinate timing to minimize disruption, ensuring you feel comfortable throughout the process.
Most window replacement projects take one to two days depending on the number of units. Door installations typically complete in a single day. Full siding projects take several days to a few weeks based on your home’s size. Weather and product lead times affect the schedule. Custom orders from manufacturers usually take five to six weeks to arrive before we can schedule your installation.
Vinyl windows offer excellent value with minimal maintenance and strong performance in Michigan’s climate. Fiberglass windows provide superior durability and strength, especially for larger openings or high-wind areas. Both resist freeze-thaw damage better than wood. We’ll assess your specific needs, budget, and architectural style during your consultation to recommend the best option.
