Window makeover was able to schedule me within a day and Mike was awesome. He Was on time, figured out the problem within a few seconds and was able to fix it. As simple as it seemed multiple handymen could not figure out the problem was but Mike was able to
Nick Langbehn
I recently had the pleasure of working with Mike from Window Makeover to repair a drafty window in our home nursery. Mike was incredibly professional and friendly, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. He arrived on time and quickly assessed the issue, realigning the window to eliminate the loud wind noise that had been bothering us. I highly recommend Mike and Window Makeover for anyone in need of window repairs. Thank you, Mike, for your excellent service!
JAG Investment Group LLC
They were fast, clean, and efficient in installing a broken window at one of our rentals. They had a quote to me within just 2 days of calling and although the lead was promised 4-6 weeks, we had a brand new window installed in about 2 weeks! They were easy to work with on scheduling and would highly recommend them! They did several windows at our personal home a few years ago and were great then... and they still are!

We were in a need of replacing a broken window pane hit by a golf ball (terrible shot).
We contacted 6+ companies for this repair. None of these companies were willing to help. We finally were able to get Exteriors by Window Makerover come and follow up to fix our problem. They were very professional and came to the rescue for us. Thanks to all their staff for helping us out. I would strongly recommend them for all your window needs. Thanks.

Kyle from Window Makeover came on March 27, 2025, to look at a couple windows that had lost their seal because of rotting wood sashes. He listened to what I wanted to do and put together a good plan: replace the double wood windows with a slider, and rebuild the single window. Jeff & Alex came on May 28, 2025, and did an excellent job of replacing the two windows. I appreciated their attention to detail!

Frequently Asked Questions
When does Exteriors by Window Makeover recommend repair instead of replacement?
The company says repair is usually preferable when a window’s frame and sash are structurally sound. It identifies a rotted-through frame, a cheaply made window not worth the labor, or a desired change in opening style, size or rating as reasons replacement may make sense.
How long does scheduling and installation usually take?
The company aims for a six-to-eight-week lead time, which can stretch to ten weeks in fall; vendor supply issues may extend it further. Installation typically takes a day or less.
What preparation does the company require before installation?
The company requires five feet of clearance on each side of a window and two feet outside it. Its installers do not move customers’ property.
Is Exteriors by Window Makeover licensed and insured?
The company says it is not required to be licensed or bonded and says it is insured for liability and workers’ compensation.
What does the restoration warranty exclude?
The company’s restoration warranty excludes a window’s thermal performance, quality and integrity, as well as mechanical hardware and weatherstripping. It also excludes seal failure in reused or existing insulated-glass panels.
