At Zen Windows, we think that finding replacement windows, sliding doors and entry doors for your home should be a simple, pleasant experience. Our team works closely with you via e-mail and phone to help shape the improvements you envision without ever having a salesperson visit your home. We offer award-winning, energy-efficient windows and doors, and provide a lifetime transferable product and installation warranty. Zen Windows sets our clients at ease with our No Down Payment Policy. You won't pay a penny until the job is completed. Simple, easy, stress-free...the way it should be.
"Bottom Line: This is the first time we have used this company, and they did excellent work for a reasonable price, and more importantly, built a huge amount of trust with the customer. Communication: Scheduling the initial estimate was easy, but the back-and-forth communication required to finalize the many detailed options was a bit slow; however, the owner Scott Halle interceded and timely communication continued throughout the rest of the process. Scoping Work: This is where Zen Windows really excels, primarily because of the vast knowledge of James Bond. We wanted to replace the single door with side transoms with something that would maximize the opening space. James expertly walked us through the options with cost and wall modification comparisons. In addition, the header above the current door was swelling and pinning the door, and James evaluated the issue, likely water seeping down from an unflashed deck, and provided peace of mind his guys could fix it on site during installation. Quality of Work: Frankly, 75-80% of contractors fail here for three primary reasons: a horrible handoff from the product specialist to the onsite project foreman, project foreman and workers making assumptions about details vice asking the customer, and lack of quality detailed work. The foreman excelled in these areas ensuring we were on the same page for various details such as casing, caulking, and external trim. In addition, he completely replaced the rotted wood structure above and along the sides of the door and added customer-provided insulation where there were gaps. To keep the project on track, they brought in another expert worker and management arrived to ensure the quality of work was high. The end product was beautiful. Pricing: Price was the best of three highly ranked Angie’s List companies. Zen Windows’ expertise, willingness to explain the details of the project, timely communication, and excellent work took the hassle out of this project."

At Window Nation, we know replacement windows. We’re third-generation window replacement experts who have been lucky to provide homeowners replacement windows, siding, and doors for over fifteen years. We opened our first showroom in Maryland in 2006, quickly growing to serve homeowners in cities across the country – and we’re not stopping there. We’re grateful for every homeowner who has trusted us to upgrade their most important asset: their home. We’ve learned a lot about home improvement over the years, but the most important thing we learned isn’t about window replacement. We learned the home improvement industry isn’t about offering the best windows, siding and doors; it’s about the relationships we build with our customers.
"Love our new Grand View Windows from Window Nation 17 Windows and 1 Sliding Glass Door We did quite a bit of research, explored a lot of companies and choose Window Nation for our project. And we are happy we did. The whole process from presentation to installation was easy and efficient. Reza arrived at our house on time for the presentation. He inspected and measured our windows and then launched into the presentation. Reza is knowledgeable about the Window Nation offering as well as the products offered by his competitors. As mentioned, I did some research and had an idea of the features that we wanted and what we should pay. Reza presented the Window Nation Grand View line, which meets our feature requirements, and after a bit of back-and-forth negotiation we settled on a price that was within our range and fair to us both. After signing, Reza described the next steps and set expectations. Overall, the presentation took only about an hour and was relatively painless, with no high-pressure tactics. Several days later, Mike came by to inspect our windows and confirm measurements for the build specifications. This took only about a half-hour. Mike answered some questions about the installation process and said that the windows and door could take up to 6 weeks to build. Imagine our surprise when we received a call a week later to schedule our installation. On installation day, the three-man team arrived on time. They introduced themselves and the team lead, Ted, described the process and then they got right to work. They tarped the paths to all the windows to protect the floors. They were very careful and respectful of our house. The entire team was friendly and polite and experienced and highly skilled. You could tell that they’d done this a time or two. The outside trim work is fantastic and the inside finish work is great. All 17 windows and the sliding door were installed in a single day. Ted went over the operation of the windows and door. The windows and door look and function great. We couldn’t be happier. If you are considering a window or door replacement project, we strongly recommend that you engage Window Nation. They will treat you right."

"We were looking to increase our attic insulation and met The Home Doctor Company at the Capital Remodel and Garden Show in February 2025 as well as some other companies. We consulted with several companies and decided to go with The Hone Doctor for our attic insulation. The company rep, Chris Lear, was very good explaining what they would do and why our attic needed R-38 insulation. I knew we needed more but did not realize our attic was only R-13. I have worked with numerous contractors before on projects and felt this was a really good company plus they have great reviews. The installation of the attic insulation went very well. They do install siding as well but decided to put this project off for now. Would highly recommend this company."

"Overall: B Price: A Quality: B Responsiveness: A Punctuality: A Professionalism: A Value Dry staff are easy to work with, friendly, and responsive. I had a great experience with their consultant (friendly, informative, stayed late to answer our questions), their onsite team (friendly, courteous), and their management (understanding, responsive). Scheduling the consultation was quick and aligned to later in the day to accommodate our family schedule. Our consultant stayed later than I would have expected. We asked a lot of questions and he was happy to answer them all, and provided a proposal for work and a quote during the visit. The crew was on punctual, worked hard, and accomplished the work based on the schedule. They were very polite and engaging throughout the day. They did a good job on cleanup. The on-site foreman consulted and advised us on site about a crack discovered in our foundation wall once insulation was removed. Thankfully it was not too bad, but he had an immediate solution that was added onto our current project and schedule at very minimal impact. We very much appreciated that. There was one aspect of the contract that was not quite completed as it turns out our house layout did not allow for it. The company worked with me and quickly resolved the inconsistency. There are only two aspects where we have some constructive criticism: There was a moment of awkwardness for us during the initial consultation when it was identified they could perform the work the next week, then to lock that in there is a "waiver of right to cancel" form that I was not expecting to have to sign to get that date. It was not pressed upon us per say, but it seemed unnecessary since they were identified as available ("winter availability"). It kinda pressured us into fast decision or potentially have to wait "up to two weeks". Since we really just wanted to get the project over with, we did go ahead and sign. The form is used for emergency work, and I don’t think any of us during the whole visit identified the problems we had as an emergency. Also, there was one technical aspect of the job which was not explained (dimpled drain mat, what it does and how it is installed). Though we didn’t realize it until the work was completed and we were asking “what is that?”. In regard to the installation of the interior French drain system (etc.), everything was completed very well, and we have all indications that it should work exactly as expected. Some gripes after the fact were that the concrete pour and smoothing could have gone better. The resulting concrete work is mostly flat, but not there are some waves and texture issues (overlaps, small ridges) in the final work that will mean we have to put some effort in ensuring our shelves will be stable and semi level when we put our room back together. Also, from the equipment used and the concrete chunks removed, there are quite a number of floor chips, scuffs, and scrape marks on areas of the floor that were not part of the construction (but in the same room). These aspects are a little frustrating in hindsight as there are techniques to ensure poured concrete is flat and smooth. In addition, something as simple as putting down some cardboard would likely have prevented the majority of the chips and scrapes. For anyone considering them for a project, just ensuring that extra discussions occur in regard to expectations on the final look will be useful to help avoid these issues. In conclusion, everything went very well and the company was great to work with, without the little gripes above it would have been an "A" result all the way around. Based on the people and the reputation, we would definitely work with them again in the future. We would make it a point to be extra verbose in terms of the final expectations, which we think (based on the great experiences with the staff) would be well received and applied with no issues."

It’s usually better to repair damaged interior doors and replace damaged exterior doors, but it depends on the type and extent of the damage. Damage to interior doors won’t threaten your home’s security, so if a repair or partial replacement of only the door (not replacing the door frame) is possible, that route should save you some money. Damage to an exterior door can compromise your home’s security, so it’s often better to replace it entirely, especially if there’s frame damage. You can ask your door installer which course of action is best for your situation.
The average cost to install a door is around $1,100, but you could pay anywhere from $150 for a hollow-core interior door installation up to $2,000 or a high-end exterior door installation. There are a few cost factors to consider to get an accurate price, including whether your wall opening exists, the type of door, the quality and security of the door, whether you need to replace the frame, and the door size. You can expect to pay $150 to $700 for a standard 36-by-80-inch door and between $400 and $1,600 for an 80-by-48-inch door.
If you’re replacing an interior door, it’s best to get the work done in the summer or winter, as door installation professionals are the least busy during these seasons and might charge lower labor costs based on the decreased demand. You can also potentially save money by hiring a professional to install your exterior door during these seasons, but most homeowners wait until the spring or fall so that the extreme temperatures don’t put added strain on their HVAC systems while the door is being added or replaced.
Door installation usually takes three and four hours, including removing the old door and frame, fitting the new door and frame in place, shimming it to make sure it’s perfectly level, and making adjustments to the hinges and locking mechanisms to ensure proper functionality. A door-hanging professional can replace an interior door in between one and two hours. Door installation will take significantly longer if your installer needs to create a wall opening, and it can take less time if the existing door frame remains.
It’s possible to install a door yourself if the wall opening already exists, but the work is rather complicated, and a professional installation is usually well worth the investment. For your door to work and close properly, you’ll need to shim and level the door frame in your wall perfectly, which can be difficult. Additionally, we recommend you always hire a professional door installer to place an exterior door, as mistakes during the installation process can lead to poor security for your home.
