Are drafty windows driving up your energy bills and letting Michigan’s brutal winters inside? Farmington homeowners with 1960s homes know the struggle of replacing windows that no longer protect against the cold. Turn to Adkins & Sons for professional window installation and window and door replacements that deliver lasting comfort and energy savings.
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.
Compare Materials
Three materials, one installer. Every window is measured, installed, and warrantied the same way; the right choice comes down to budget, look, and how much upkeep you want to sign up for.
We do not publish a price for windows, doors, or siding, because an honest one does not exist before someone has stood in your house.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 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 Farmington. Our own employees do the installation, never subcontractors, and the 15-year labor warranty comes from us, so there is one company to call.

Several key factors set us apart from competitors serving Farmington homeowners: • Our lead installer personally oversees every professional window installation • We’re Pella Platinum Elite Certified, representing the highest partnership tier • Our 15-year labor guarantee exceeds industry standards significantly • We offer multiple premium brands including Pella, Andersen, and ProVia
Both vinyl windows and fiberglass windows perform well in Michigan’s climate. Vinyl offers excellent energy efficiency at a lower price point with low maintenance requirements. Fiberglass provides superior durability against extreme temperature swings and has the aesthetic appeal of painted wood. During your initial consultation, we help you choose based on your budget and priorities.
Most window installations take 30 to 60 minutes per window, meaning a typical Farmington home can be completed in one to two days. Custom orders from manufacturers require 5 to 6 weeks for production. We schedule your expert installation within days of product delivery to minimize disruption to your routine.
Common signs include visible condensation between glass panes, difficulty opening or closing windows, noticeable drafts near frames, significant damage to wood or frames, and increasing energy bills. Homes built in the 1960s, common throughout Farmington, often have original single-pane windows that no longer provide adequate insulation. Sometimes window repair isn’t enough.
Yes. We provide an industry-leading 15-year labor guarantee on all installation work, which far exceeds the typical 1 to 2 year warranties from other contractors. Our manufacturer partners offer their own product warranties: Pella provides a full lifetime guarantee, and ProVia offers an unconditional lifetime guarantee on vinyl windows with quality materials.
For maximum energy savings, look for windows with double or triple-pane glass, low e coating, and argon gas fills between panes. ENERGY STAR certified windows meeting Michigan’s northern climate zone requirements deliver the best replacement windows performance.
Yes, but time is limited. This credit expires December 31, 2025. Windows must meet ENERGY STAR Most Efficient criteria. Contact us to ensure your window and door project qualifies before the deadline so you can save money.
Full frame installation removes the entire existing window including the frame and trim, ideal when frames show significant damage or rot. Pocket installation fits new windows into existing frames, working well when frames remain structurally sound. Our expert installers assess your Farmington home’s condition during the initial consultation and recommend the best approach.
Yes. Beyond direct ROI, new windows improve curb appeal, attract buyers faster, and demonstrate that major maintenance has been addressed. Energy efficient windows also help you save money monthly on utility bills while you enjoy improved comfort in your home.
We’re a family-owned business with 45 years of experience, not a franchise. What sets us apart includes: • Lead-installer oversight on every installation • 15-year labor guarantee (industry-leading) • Pella Platinum Elite Certified Contractor status • 4,000 square foot showroom in Southgate
