The company has been around for nearly 100 years and is a true leader in window innovation.

Andersen Windows

Andersen Windows is another best brand for several good reasons: they’re long lasting, energy efficient and low maintenance. You can trust that these replacement windows, which offer a modern style,  will hold up well over time. Best of all, Andersen allows you to design your own replacement windows so you get a good match for your home.

Pricing: The design-your-own option will vary depending on the type of window you need, but the average replacement double-hung window from Andersen costs between $409 and $674.

Simonton Windows

If you’re looking for vinyl replacement windows, Simonton is the brand you want. While they’re known for their vinyl, their customer service and impressive warranties are proof that this brand is committed to quality. In fact, they’ve won multiple awards for their quality and performance. When you’re looking for durability and customer satisfaction from your replacement windows, Simonton is a great place to start. 

Pricing: The cost for Simonton double-hung replacement windows can range from  $150 to $1000, depending on the size of the window, the type of vinyl chosen and the thickness of the glass..

Window Warranties

Even with the best window brands, there is bound to be a defect from time to time. It is essential to consider the warranties offered when choosing a replacement window brand. Without a good warranty, you could lose hundreds of dollars to remove a bad window and then reinstall a new one.

Pella offers a variety of warranties on their products. One of the best offers is The Pella Care Guarantee, which “is available exclusively for replacement customers who purchase and install Pella products through their local Pella Window and Door Showrooms.”

Andersen also offers a warranty on all of its products, and it can even be transferred if you sell your home.  If/when you sell your home, you can transfer your warranty to the new owner with their exclusive Owner-to-Owner limited warranty.

Simonton’s warranties have helped them win awards for customer satisfaction. Like some of Andersen’s warranties, they are also transferable. Many products from Simonton come with a limited lifetime warranty.

Hackers Help: How to attach headboard to ESPEVÄR mattress base?

I’m trying to figure out if a headboard can be attached to an Espevar Mattress Base , and how to accomplish that. I’m looking at a standard metal headboard (because I just prefer the look of curved metal to what IKEA offers) and am not interested in a slat base with just a mattress on top, and a wall mounted headboard is not an option due to renting. Thanks for any help! ~ Amy *** Hi Amy I’ve not seen the ESPEVÄR in person but I believe it is possible to attach a headboard to it. From the website, the ESPEVÄR looks like a regular wooden slatted mattress base under a bed base slipover. As to how to attach it, that will depend on the fittings on the metal headboard. So you will just need to get the right hardware to secure the metal headboard to the wooden frame. And make some small openings on the slipcover to let the fixtures to go through.

Kitchen renovation reveal: Rhombus wall steals the show

It’s been a while since I did a home tour. If you’ve missed the previous reveals, you can catch up with my Master Bathroom remodel and Guest Bathroom reveal . Today, let’s focus on my kitchen renovation. Hands down, this is the most used room in my home. I spend crazy amounts of time in here, even when I’m not cooking. Just off to the side of the kitchen I converted an awkward space into a reading nook . In the mornings, I sit and read or pray and meditate, before it gets too warm. And on the other side, there’s a work-in-progress plant wall / indoor garden which also takes up a lot of my time. So, all in all, lots of traffic in here, and that’s not even counting cooking and eating time. The kitchen is definitely my favourite room, because the transformation is huge and I love how it turned out. Kitchen renovation: The before House 17 when I first got it, actually had 2 kitchens, which is a very common “Asian” home concept. First, the “dry kitchen”, which is where you make simp

IKEA sofa with genius armrest storage

Bet you never knew your sofa armrests were prime storage space. Ok, so the guys at IKEA are the masters of hidden / secret storage everywhere. In fact, one of the things I most loved about the  ESKILSTUNA sofa series was the undercover storage on the chaise lounge, but… what? More than 80 liters of storage space wasted on the armrests? NO WAY! I really don’t understand how they didn’t take that opportunity with several different armrest modules. Mobile chargers, cup / can holders, foldable tables, refrigerators… there’s SO MUCH space in there. I can’t stop thinking on different options! For myself, I went for two designs. First, a “full space” design on the (right) side of the chaise lounge. (The cavity fits two foldable chairs). Second, on the left armrest — a flip open section for “mobile charger / remote control storage / etc.”. Below that, a full-depth pull-out drawer, tall enough to store A4 sized magazines. This is the final result: Full space design, right of cha
