See what real homeowners are saying about Global Home Improvement installation of Serious 600 Replacement Windows

Description: Replaced 14 single-hung windows with 14 double-hung Serious Series 600 windows. This included screens. Old shutters were removed and new shutters installed.

Comments: OMG! I can’t believe how fabulous the Serious Windows are!!!!!! Our home faces due South so we get the hot sun…year round…from about 10am until dusk. My daughter has actually blistered her finger touching the front of our front door! Now…we feel NONE of that heat! Yes, the light comes in…Yes, my plants are still thriving…but NO HEAT gets thru! I can’t wait to see how much this saves us on utility bills.As far as the company, Global Home Improvements… I would definitely recommend them!

We had our initial consultation, in our home, within days of our first phone call. No pressure sales. We were given many options and each option was explained thoroughly (Murray was fabulous and obviously knew what he was talking about!)

The installers were very, very good! I think my floors were actually cleaner when they left than they were when they arrived…that’s how well they cleaned up after themselves!

The installation itself was fantastic…you can’t tell anything was done except for the new windows of course…no damage or dings to surrounding walls, sills, siding, etc.

We found one small tear in the screen…and someone was out the next day after we called them to repair it.

Prodigy Insulated Siding will save you Money in PA, NJ and DE

In the average United States home, heating and cooling are the biggest energy consumers. In hotter states, air-conditioning an entire home sometimes double the energy consumption of all home appliances combined. Additionally, the constant use of heating in colder states drain energy just as much as cooling.

What many people don’t realize is that your home’s exterior can either hinder or help lower your utility cost. Fiber cement siding, such as James Hardie, looks great but do nothing to help with insulation of your home. The fiber cement  is not a natural insulator, thus allowing hot and cold air into your house.

Prodigy delivers outstanding all-weather protection and can reduce your energy costs, thanks to the exceptional R-value of its industry-leading thermal barrier – up to 1-1/2 thick insulation, the thickest EPS foam available in a one-piece insulated siding system

Unlike fiber cement, Prodigy’s line of vinyl siding substantially reduces energy consumption in any climate. Imagine you have a Styrofoam cup and then you wrap vinyl around it, do you think you will feel if the content of your cup is hot or cold? That was kind of a peculiar example but it holds true.

When thinking about ways to decrease your heating and cooling bills, consider Prodigy’s insulated vinyl line. Complete with an array of colors, strong vinyl that can handle hail to kids play, and a warranty that protects you and the value of your home…there’s no possible way to go wrong with Prodigy.

Serious Windows also have more inside of their glass panes that can’t be seen by the naked eye! Coated with Low-E on both glass panes and the suspended film, their windows reflect the sun’s heat in the warmer months and keeps heat inside of your home when it is time to turn on your heating system.
