Since 1979, our family-run company has provided homeowners throughout Royal Oak and Oakland County with premium replacement windows, flawless workmanship, and exceptional service.
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We do not publish a price for windows, doors, or siding, because an honest one does not exist before someone has stood in your house.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.

If a question comes up mid-job, Josh 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 Royal Oak. Our own employees do the installation, never subcontractors, and the 15-year labor warranty comes from us, so there is one company to call.

734 283 7120Most window replacement projects take one to three days depending on the number of windows. Custom orders typically arrive in five to six weeks. We schedule installation within days of receiving your windows. Weather rarely delays interior work. Our team works efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine and ensure quality installation.
Consider replacement if you notice drafts around frames, condensation between panes, or difficulty opening and closing windows. Rising energy bills often indicate poor window performance. Visible damage like rotting frames or broken seals requires attention. If your windows are over 20 years old, upgrading to energy-efficient models typically provides excellent return through reduced heating and cooling costs.
Modern replacement windows include multiple security enhancements. Multi-point locking systems secure windows at several locations along the frame. Laminated glass resists break-ins better than standard glass. Reinforced frames add structural strength. Our installers ensure proper fit and alignment so locks engage correctly. Quality windows installed properly significantly improve your home’s security compared to old, worn windows.
Yes. Triple-pane windows with proper installation provide excellent noise reduction. The additional glass layers and insulating gas between panes dampen sound transmission. This is especially beneficial near busy streets like Woodward Avenue or Main Street. Homeowners report noticeably quieter interiors after upgrading. The noise reduction contributes to better sleep quality and overall comfort.
