Bay vs Bow Windows: What is the Difference?
Over time as your home begins to age, you might consider upgrading the windows in your home. For some homeowners, the installation of new windows can improve the overall energy efficiency of the home and change the appearance and curb appeal. Two of our most popular options for window replacement is our Freedom Star Bay Windows and Freedom Star Bow Windows. We often get asked what is the difference between the two windows?Â
In this blog we will explain each variety of window and give you a better understanding of which one would work best for your home.
Bay Windows: A Bay Window is a 3-section window that bows outward. The center window is a picture window and on either side of the picture window is another style of window. The side windows are usually casement or double hung windows. This style of window creates a window seat where you can sit and relax and enjoy the outside views.
PROS of Bay Windows: Bay Windows can provide extra space and are the most functional window to add to your home. These windows are easy to open and provide ventilation in your home. Most homeowners pick this style because they are less expensive than Bow Windows.
Bow Windows: A Bow Window is an arc-shape window structure with at least 4 windows that are usually casement windows. Bow windows join to create a curve, where all windows may have the ability to open in some way. This style will create a ledge for you to hold household décor items.
PROS of Bow Windows: Bow windows can be a great addition when you are looking to improve the amount of natural light in the space, make the room look larger, provide a panoramic view, or use for a specific reason, such as storage, seating, or accent.Â
No matter the style of window you end up choosing both windows will instantly add a touch of elegance to your home. When you have one of our expert window installers complete your window installation, you can expect to increase the value of your home and improve the overall energy efficiency. If you are interested in obtaining a FREE In-Home Inspection, call us now to schedule.Â
Top 5 Signs it's time to Replace the Windows in your Home.
Most homeowners have no clue how old the windows in their home might be? Homes that are over 20 years old most likely are due for an upgrade. Even if your windows are not that old issues can pop up at any time. We have created a list of the Top 5 Signs it might be time to replace your windows.
1.) Increase in Utility Bill: On a cold chilly day if you stand next to your windows do you feel a chilly draft? Touch your windows, does the glass feel cold to the touch? If you answered yes, to these questions you most likely have older single pane windows that are causing your furnace to work overtime in the winter months as well as the summer months. If you see a spike in your energy bill you will know that you're heating, and cooling is going to waste and leaking out the windows.
2.) Poor Window Operation: Are you having a hard time opening and closing your windows? Do your windows feel like they are stuck and won’t budge? Windows should open and close with ease and not feel like a chore!
3.) Condensation: Do your windows constantly look like they need to be wiped down because of fog? If you see condensation build up between the panes of glass, this means that your window seals are not working properly and it’s time to replace the window.
4.) Decaying Frames: One of the first places your window will begin to rot is the windowsill. If you are unsure if your windows are rotting, go up and touch them. Do they feel soft? If you feel any type of softness, or brittleness, then they are rotten and should be replaced.
5.) Visible Damage: Your homes windows are constantly being exposed to the outside elements, so it’s only natural that over time the windows will start to show signs of damage. You can check for things like warping, water damage, broken glass, and cracks if you spot any of these signs you need to replace the window.
If you answered yes to a most of these signs, then come experience the freedom of energy-efficient windows and lower your monthly energy bills. Our private label Freedom Star and Freedom Star Elite Double and Triple pane energy-efficient replacement windows are Energy Star Rated.

How to know when its time for a new roof?
You may not think about your roof on the daily, but a reliable roof is extremely important for you and your family. Your roof protects you from all the outside elements like snow and rain and helps keep you warm and cozy at night. Most homeowners do not regularly inspect their roof, and they wait until something happens such as a leak in the ceiling. It can sometimes be hard to understand when you need a completely new roof, so here we will break-down some obvious signs it is time for a replacement.
Age: Just like with anything your roof as a life span, typically a roof can last homeowners up to 20 years. If you are getting close to that time, contact us for a roof inspection and let our experts look.
Roof Leaks: If your roof is leaking into your home this is a sure sign its time to replace the shingles. Even the smallest leak can grow into a much larger issue causing damage to your property.
Roof Cracks: Are the shingles starting to crack? This is often caused by wind damage if you see multiple cracked areas on the roof, it’s time for an inspection to see what areas need to be replaced.
Missing or Broken Shingles: If you see any signs of missing shingles or damaged shingles this indicates that you are not being properly protected. Patches of missing shingles can cause leaks and the roof should be replaced.
Hail Damage: If you live in an area with major rainstorms, hail can cause serious damage to your roof. High speed winds can rip off shingles and expose areas of your roof. Over time small dents from hailstorms can cause leaks.
Curling Shingles: Over time shingles can start to curl and break after years of wear and tear caused by heat and moisture. You want to make sure you have proper attic ventilation to help prevent curling shingles.
If you have identified some of these signs, contact us to schedule your FREE Roof Inspection. You can also visit our Freedom Star Showroom to see samples of our roofing materials and have our Design Consultant assist you.

Why are Casement Windows so popular with homeowners?
When it comes to shopping for new windows for your home, there is a variety of style options for you to choose from. Deciding on the right style for your home will come down to your own personal preferences and what type of functions the window can serve for you. In this blog we will discuss the functions and benefits of the casement window and why it has been the most popular style of window for many years by homeowners.
What is a Casement Window?
Casement windows are very popular because they are easy to open and close. A casement window hinges at the side and opens outward to the left or right. They are also known as crank windows, since they are opened with a handle that cranks the supporting arm of the window outward.
Top Benefits of Casement Windows
Ventilation: Since casement windows open outward, meaning they can be opened wide from top to bottom and side-to-side. This allows you to control the amount of breeze and draftiness wafting in. If you’re looking to let in more air or reduce what blows in on a windy day, this style of window can give you the most control.
Security: With casement windows you must use the handle-type mechanism for the window to open. This offers protection from anyone trying to break into your home. Some homeowners make their casement windows even more secure by removing the crank from the window and keeping it nearby but out of reach.
Energy Efficiency: The casement window is energy star rated and has been voted one of the most energy efficient windows because the locking mechanisms of casement windows offer great protection from the outside elements year-round.
Easy to Clean: Homeowners generally look for windows that will be easy to clean, and because of the way casement windows open homeowners are able to reach through the opening and clean them very easily than they would other types of windows.
No matter what style of window you decide to pick for your home, you can trust that our window experts will help you in finding the perfect fit. We offer competitive prices that can’t be beaten, and we will exceed your expectations and ensure all our products are of the highest standard. Whether you need to replace the windows of your entire home or simply just need one window, were here to help complete your home improvement projects!

What are French Doors?

Benefits of French Doors

Bathrooms are one of the most used and abused rooms in a home. Many homes are built with what are commonly known as “builder-grade materials”.

A bathroom is meant to be much more utilitarian in design for many of its purposes and with much of the room being wet areas there is bound to be some cause and effect. Below we give you some of the top causes, that might lead you to decided its time to update your bath/shower system.

Why Are My Gutters Leaking?
Gutters are usually not the top priority for homeowners to want to invest money into, but they play an extremely important role in protecting your homes foundation. Homeowners often ask us, “Why are my gutters dripping everywhere”? This is such a common question that today we will break down the top reasons of what could be causing this issue.
AGE
Typically gutters can last homeowners around 20 years, with the proper maintenance and care. Over time gutters age and can start to crack, causing water to leak through. If your gutters have reached their lifespan, it is time to replace them with our Freedom Star 6′ seamless gutter system with leaf protection.
CLOGGEDÂ
A common reason for gutters to leak is that they could be clogged. When we inspect gutters, we often see major clogging from leaves, pine needles, twigs, and debris. Clogged gutters cause the rainwater to back up and not flow through the downspout. We recommend that homeowners try to clean out the gutters 2x per year. If you’re sick and tired of cleaning out your gutters, then it’s time to check out our Freedom Star Seamless Gutters that have our NO clog guarantee and a lifetime warranty.
CRACKS & HOLESÂ
Cracks and holes is one of the most obvious signs of leaky gutters, the outside elements overtime will naturally deteriorate your sectional gutter material. If you see even the smallest hole, then it will require some repair by sealing with waterproof sealant. Our seamless gutter systems are custom made and will eliminate these seams all together!
IMPROPER INSTALLATIONÂ
Some homeowners try to cut corners and save money by installing their gutter system on their own. Proper installation is especially important, so that water properly drains. Gutters should be hung slightly downward so that water angles toward the downspouts. If the gutters are not pitched right, they are not going to drain properly.
Now that we have covered the most common causes of leaking gutters, contact us now to set up your FREE Quote! Our professional team of installers will come out to your home, and custom fit and install your new Freedom Star Seamless gutters.
Warning Signs That Your Roof May Need To Be Replaced!!
You may not think about your roof on the daily, but a reliable roof is extremely important for you and your family.

2.) Roof Leaks: If your roof is leaking into your home this is a sure sign its time to replace the shingles. Even the smallest leak can grow into a much larger issue causing damage to your property.
3.) Roof Cracks: Are the shingles starting to crack? This is often caused by wind damage if you see multiple cracked areas on the roof, its time for an inspection to see what areas need to be replaced.
4.) Missing or Broken Shingles: If you see any signs of missing shingles or damaged shingles this indicates that you are not being properly protected. Patches of missing shingles can cause leaks and the roof should be replaced.
5.) Hail Damage: If you live in an area with major rainstorms, hail can cause serious damage to your roof. High speed winds can rip off shingles and expose areas of your roof. Over time small dents from hailstorms can cause leaks.
