Are your windows letting Plymouth’s harsh winters drain your wallet? Rising energy bills and drafty rooms signal it’s time for replacement windows. Since 1979, Adkins & Sons has helped Plymouth homeowners protect their homes with premium windows backed by our 15-year labor guarantee.
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We do not publish a price for windows, doors, or siding, because an honest one does not exist before someone has stood in your house.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 Plymouth. Our own employees do the installation, never subcontractors, and the 15-year labor warranty comes from us, so there is one company to call.

Vinyl windows offer excellent value with minimal maintenance and strong energy performance for most Plymouth homes. Fiberglass windows provide superior durability for extreme weather exposure and larger window sizes. Both resist Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles effectively. We help you choose based on your home’s architecture, budget, and specific performance needs during your free consultation.
Custom window orders typically arrive in five to six weeks from manufacturers. Once products arrive, our factory-trained installers complete most projects within one to three days depending on the number of windows. We schedule installation shortly after delivery. Weather rarely delays our work since we install one window at a time, minimizing exposure.
Replace your windows if you notice condensation between panes, drafts near frames, difficulty opening or closing, or visible damage. Windows over 20 years old typically need replacement even if they appear functional. Rising energy bills often indicate seal failure. Our team provides honest assessments during free consultations, helping you make informed decisions.

According to the U.S.
The best window type depends on your home’s architecture, budget, and priorities. Historic homes near Kellogg Park often benefit from wood windows that honor original design. Modern homes in Lake Pointe or Cherry Hill Village perform well with vinyl or fiberglass. We evaluate your specific situation during consultation, considering energy goals, maintenance preferences, and aesthetic desires.
Three things set us apart from other businesses: our lead installer personally visits every Plymouth job during installation to verify quality standards, we’ve been a family-operated business serving customers throughout the state since 1979, and we offer an industry-leading 15-year labor guarantee. Plus, we partner with Pella, Andersen, and ProVia so homeowners can choose from multiple premium products instead of being limited to a single brand.
