Custom windows can provide energy efficiency

Dear Glenn: There are two windows in my Farmington Hills condo. One is 8 feet wide by 5 feet tall. The other is 3 feet wide by 5 feet tall. I want to replace them with energy-efficient vinyl windows as described in your newspaper article. What company would you recommend to me to purchase and install these windows?

Julia, Farmington Hills

Dear Julia: The windows will be custom-made just for your home. Get the lowest U-value available. Shoot for .29. I would call two companies.

John's Lumber, (800) 440-9860, www.johnslumber.com, in Clinton Township and Shelby Township. Talk to David Stoutenger. The other company is Kearns Brothers, 888-355-6700, www.kearnsbrothers.com) in Dearborn. Talk to Gary Kearns.
