Description
A double-hung window is a type of window that features two sashes, or movable panels, that can slide vertically within the window frame. Both the top and bottom sashes are operable, meaning they can be opened and closed independently of each other.
This design allows for greater flexibility in ventilation, as both sashes can be adjusted to control the airflow entering the room. For example, you can open both sashes fully for maximum ventilation, open just the top sash to let hot air escape while keeping the bottom sash closed for security, or open just the bottom sash for a controlled breeze while maintaining some level of security.
Double-hung windows are commonly found in residential buildings and are popular for their versatility, classic appearance, and ease of maintenance. They come in various materials, such as wood, vinyl, aluminum, and fiberglass, and are available in a wide range of sizes to suit different architectural styles and preferences. Additionally, some modern double-hung windows feature tilt-in sashes, which make cleaning the exterior surfaces easier by allowing the sashes to tilt inward.

Avto met with us after I saw my neighbors windows and got his number . I wanted to get retrofits and his was the best pricing and he was really prompt to respond .
His team arrived on the day of installation , very clean work and he brought more people so the hassle of changing all windows doest last too long and its done sooner than later . They cleaned up after themselves and worked as quietly as they could, no damages to any existing inside/outside walls.
They had to put a wooden door frame around a sliding door that was also retrofit to cover the mechanism and gap due to old frame showing . Once they nailed it in I wasn’t happy with it as the style wasn’t matching the rest of my door frames . They immediately agreed to redo it for me as I wasn’t happy . Very good customer service and Avto’s Son was very good with explaining any queries we had . I would highly recommend their windows to anyone .

AGK windows installed Simonton brand 6 windows and 2 sliding glass door for us. We got many quotes and AGK windows quote was very competitive and fair. They came and measured to make sure everything was right. From the start to the finish this group was fantastic, very professional and easy to work with. We are very happy with how they handled things and the quality of their products. Highly recommended.

AK windows installed a patio door and a bay window for us. Although we had to wait a few months for the bay window to be built (delayed on the factory-side because of covid supply chain issues), we could not be happier with the end results. The team was very professional and did a great job in installing both the window and the sliding door. Highly recommend!

Originally, we wanted to hire Bull’s Glass and Screen Center to replace the Windows. Unfortunately, Bull’s Glass no longer install windows, but they did suggested AK Windows, so we contacted AK windows for windows replacement.
The salesman, George, was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional while figuring out the best way for our window installation. At first, we wanted Milgard, but it would not build some of our picture windows because the windows’ heights were too short. For these windows, George suggested Simonton which has the same quality as Milgard, and Milgard for other windows. After two days of pondering and research (Google), we decided to go with Simonton for all windows.
AK Windows retrofitted TWENTY-FOUR WINDOWS within a day without compromising quality. Another window took two half-days to complete because it was new construction. We were happy with the results.
Overall, We are extremely glad to go with AK Windows.

Great service with the best quality!
I replaced a combination of windows and a patio door. Some are Simonton daylight, while the patio is Milgard. The installation was quick and of high quality. In comparison to the other five companies I checked, the pricing was affordable. George is a highly responsive and nice person!

They did follow up promptly after my review. Gave us a quote within few days. Although we didn’t hire them for the project, I had positive experience in getting the quote after my initial review.
