What we write about, and why
Every post here answers a question Detroit property owners actually ask before they hire anyone — what work costs, which materials are worth the upcharge, how long a job really takes, and the shortcuts that look fine for two years and then do not.
The writing comes from the same people doing the work in Detroit, MI and Detroit and the inner-ring suburbs, which is why the numbers are specific and the advice sometimes tells you not to spend money.

Skip the articles and go to the page for what you need — each one covers pricing, scope and how to start:
- Full Window Replacement in Detroit — Doing a whole house at once is not how most Detroit window jobs actually happen. The order gets split, and it gets split by which rooms are in use.
- Residential Window Installation in Detroit — A brick house has no nailing fin to flash. The window sits in a masonry reveal, and every decision about water happens at that reveal rather than on a sheet of housewrap.
- Commercial Window Installation in Detroit — Detroit's commercial fabric is mostly two-story brick blocks along the avenues, built between the wars with a shop below and flats or offices above. Their glazing has one thing in common, and it is the largest opportunity in the building type.
- Energy-Efficient Window Installation in Detroit — More than a third of Detroit's housing was built before 1940, and on a good share of those houses the right energy purchase is not a new window at all. Saying so out loud costs us work in this city, and we go on saying it anyway.
- Vinyl Window Replacement in Detroit — Vinyl is the honest default in a brick house. A welded vinyl insert needs no nailing fin and no wall opened up: it sets inside the wood frame already standing in the opening and seals to it.
