Window World is America’s largest replacement window and exterior remodeling company, having sold 22 million windows since its start in North Carolina 25 years ago. All of its 200 individually owned offices offer quality energy-efficient replacement windows, doors, siding, shutters and more — for less. Its products have been awarded the Energy Star and the Good Housekeeping Seal.
Window World of Delmarva, which serves nine counties on the Delmarva Peninsula, was founded in 2007. Its owner is Mike Hayman. “We serve six counties on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, Accomack County in Virginia and the two lower counties in Delaware,” he said. “Our quality and service goes beyond that of anyone else.”
Like its parent company, Window World of Delmarva promises “superior products, professionally installed, at a guaranteed low price.” Hayman added, “Our products carry a strong labor guarantee with monthly payment financing options available, subject to approved credit.”
Hayman said there may be bigger window companies, but their strength and popularity is new construction. “We do mostly replacements,” he said.
Yet Window World of Delmarva does much more than windows. In addition to entry doors, storm, patio and garage doors, and siding, for the last three years the Delmarva company has done roofing — “virtually every external home improvement you can do,” Hayman proclaimed.
He noted that high volume builders sometimes use windows of lesser quality, making tract houses erected 10 to 15 years ago his biggest prospects. “Windows are an easy place for a builder to save money,” he said. “The average person doesn’t know one kind from another.”
He explained there are three kinds of windows: wood, vinyl and fiberglass. “There’s not a lot of difference between vinyl and fiberglass, but wood is something else. Most expensive homes use wood. Not because wood is better, it’s just more classic and more expensive. The problem is, wood has to be painted.”
If your windows are single pane, Hayman said, they are old-fashioned and out-of-date. Even if you have storm windows, you should consider replacing your single-pane windows. Current thinking is that two panes with dead air or argon gas between them is best. Dead air is less expensive; argon gas protects the Low-E coating on the inside of the glass. Low-E windows help reflect heat, improve thermal performance, lower heating and cooling costs and allow in natural light.
Window World of Delmarva offers a wide variety of windows, including double-hung, casement and awning, sliding, bay and bow windows, picture windows in custom sizes and shapes, garden windows with adjustable shelves and acrylic block windows.
Using materials sourced in the USA, Window World of Delmarva is increasing curb appeal, improving efficiency and enhancing quality of life one home at a time.
