Didn't expect to comment on a window video today but really wanted to say how great and informative this was. A true expert and great salesperson. Loved how you explained the pros, the cons and the true purpose of each so we could make an informative, trusted decision. If I lived anywhere near Houston, I would be an immediate customer. Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
This 17min video probably saved me more than $5000 worth the window. I can make an informed decision now. Thank you Mr Houston Window
Thank you for watching in your comment. I'm so glad that this was helpful to you! Please be sure to share and subscribe.
Thank you very much. Exceedingly helpful. I live in an historic area that requies wood windows so Im glad i watched the entire video on why wood windows are double hung
I saw a couple similar videos, but yours was the best explanation...and I fixed my window!
This man is an American hero. If I had a house in Texas, I would offer you my business.
Thank you for watching!
I absolutely would like to thank the gentleman doing this video for his openness as to the differences and not just trying to push the most expensive product. With all the information given, the consumer can now make a decision as to what best fits their needs and the most expensive is not always the best. It depends on what best fits your needs. Thank you, Sir
Thank you for watching
My gosh! You are an EXCELLENT salesperson. You should teach at any University. Thank you for such a delightful explanation.
Thanks for watching!
This is great. I live in Buffalo and I can feel the wind come through the vinyl double-hung windows. Now I'm going to get single-hung. Thank you!
Thank you for watching and your comment
So why wouldn't you use the option to remove the double hung while cleaning instead of two people? I've been doing it for 30 years on mine all alone.
You can remove the bottom sash and the top sash if you would like. I've just found that many of my clients have trouble getting it positioned back in correctly. Like I said in the video, it's just a matter of preference.
I wish I lived in Houston to get my windows from you! Very informative
Where do you live?

Gotcha. Have you tried Yelp? Look for. 4.5 star company with more that 20 reviews that only sells windows and doors. All the best!
Buying my first house and after watching two of your videos your company will definitely be coming out to do our windows
We're glad to help!
My old landlord replaced my kitchen with a double hung tilt window and one day the top pane dropped fell and broke into the kitchen while we were at work. I’m just happy my Rottweiler didn’t get hurt or get out
Wow! That's scary!
I clean windows professionally and occasionally make use of the double tilt windows. The bottom sash, in my experience, you can just tilt the bottom sash all the way down till it rests on the bottom frame of the window, and then tilt in the top one. Have never had a problem doing that?
Also, he demonstrates at the end that the sashes are removable, which is another option when cleaning alone. Everything else was great information, but the cleaning issue was over exaggerated.
Issac, you're a pro. I don't think it's super difficult but if you were like me and had over 100,000 windows installed in people's homes, you'd realize that getting a few calls a month about this and having to dispatch a service tech can get expensive.
I don't have much preference for either option except I see the drawbacks to DH not worth the effort or expense unless someone really wants it.
Thank you for watching and your comment.
@@HoustonWindowExperts I understand that you probably get lots of calls about this. But that doesn't mean that in this video you have to make it look like you have to be a gymnast to clean the windows, that doesn't seem like it would help the situation, haha.
I'm a 77 year old who lives alone. I don't have to hold the one sash when I clean the other. I can just let the bottom sash tilt all the way down while I clean the top sash.
This is one of the most informative product comparison videos I have ever seen. Thank you so much from Waterloo, Ontario, Canada!
Thank you for watching!
May have missed it but didn't see in any of the comments that one disadvantage of the single hung is that you additionally have to remove the screens to clean the windows versus not having to do that with the tilt-in double hung.
Best explanation on differences of window options I've seen so far. Thank you for sharing your expertise!
Thanks for watching and your comment.
Wow- mandatory viewing for anybody in the market for windows! Thanks for the great info- we're building a house and were considering double-hung, however, we're going with single-hung for all of the aforementioned reasons. Double win- better window for our wants/needs, and less $
Thanks for watching and your comment!

Thank you so much for sharing! Love the information and knowledge you sharing, your explanation is unmatched!!!!
Thanks
Great informative video Jeff.
Thank you for watching
I have double hung windows but as far as cleaning I hate monkeying with the tilt mechanisms to clean. I got a squeegee and handle from Lowes (single story) and some concentrated window cleaner. Mix in a bottle and spray and I can clean them just as quick. So my next windows will be single hung. Plus I prefer a narrower frame look and the weather tight advantages for those cold winter winds.
Good point.
That was the best window video I've seen yet!
Thank you!
Although I'm in Central Florida, not Houston, this video was incredibly informative and will help me make my decisions about my windows.
Great!!
Great video !!
This was the most educational video I have ever seen! I'm so excited about our new windows :-)

Thank you, thank you. I'm not crazy. My husband was insulted when I told him I didn't like his double hung windows. We have two whole porch walls full of them. I gave him all the reasons you illustrated, without my having ever seen or heard anything before, regarding windows. I just based my opinion on what I observed with those windows. I told him I didn't think they were as energy efficient as the old fashioned ones. He thought I was nuts, and just shook his head. I knew I wasn't, but now, thanks to you, I have proof that I'm not. He even showed me the so called, easy way, to wash them. I told him I prefer the old way of getting on a step ladder, to do the job outside in the sunshine. Great video. Thanks.
Hahaha.... Glad I could help
I identify. Providing evidence of one's, let's say "right-ness", sometimes causes further irritation, I find. I hope your mister appreciated your smarts better after you showed this to him!
We're in market for windows...learning a lot.
Thanks for the information.

We wish our windows many times a year and live in a second story townhouse. Double hung tilt windows all day long for the win.
Good job. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the video. It sounds like single hung give the best efficiency which I always assumed but you now have me thinking a single hung with one sash tilt out is kind of pointless and a single hung non tilt ou may be the best way to go for max efficiency.
wish you could come to Arkansas! awesome video Thanks!!😄

Thank you for the education
Thank you for watching.
Excellent, informative video! I always thought the single hung was just the cheap way out. I ordered 2 single hung cheap windows for an old storage shed that gets incredibly hot in the summertime and didn't even know I bought the best window until I watched an expert, you! Thank you!
Lol.... Good job!
So informative! I’m replacing 22 windows soon. Wish you guys were in MD.

Excelente explicación hermano estaba apunto de comprar ventanas baratas y me puse a buscar Videos así es que te encontré y me encanta tu explicación ojalá que estuvieras acá en Carolina del Norte
Great video! Thanks!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.
Great video. Came across your channel while researching vinyl window replacements. I live in the Atl area and am recently retired and plan on this to be a DIY project. As you stated, moving frames without panels is a game changer for me, and I am part of that 20% that does clean so therefor leaning toward double hung tilt. On a lighter side, had a good chuckle at time 14:55 when you said, “if a lawnmower hits your window. . ”. I know you get hurricanes in Houston, but I haven’t seen too many flying mowers in this part of Ga. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Lol.. thanks for watching and your comment.
Thank you
I'm literally window shopping right now, and I think a vinyl single hung window because I have a single hung wood frame window. However, the top half has leaded glass, so it's a tough decision. Thank you.
Helpful! Thanks!
Thank you for watching
This video helped me figure out why my place was so drafty. Since we live in a place known for strong winds and having new windows that had a draft issue bothers me.A candle , match and patience.....found the issues and fixed them as much as I could. Passed the information to my daughter since she has the same issues with her new windows as well
Thank you for watching
Wow. Really good info right here buddy. I will be buying windows from you. I am buying a house and it needs new windows. Now I know the place to go.
Thanks for considering us for your project! We look forward to speaking with you!
Great video! Wish I had watched this BEFORE I just spent $12K on windows.
Yikes!
Ya know, I'd totally stop in and see you about some windows if I lived in Texas. You more than answered my "what's the difference" question with your frank, explanation.
Thank you for watching
Great video. Thanks for all the info. And for the record I have never cleaned my windows 😝.
Lol.. thank you for watching
Very informative.
Thanks for watching
If I lived in Houston, I'd buy from this company. Great video, tons of good info.
Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much for this video! I have been debating which one I should install. I've been thinking of a Double-hung Window because I live in a tropical, humid place and needed more opening for air to come in but now that I'm listening to you, Single Hung indeed is better and specially when it rains & storm. Thank you very much!
Thanks for watching!
Ty for ur explaination
You're welcome. Thanks for watching
El mejor video que he visto hasta ahora sobre el tema, y créame si le digo que he visto decenas de ellos. Muchas gracias y saludos desde España
Gracias por su comentario!
So much good information.
I'm looking for double hung so we can have the top open to get air.
Are all screens for double hung go up and down or do some have the hidden slide screen like casement windows do?
I also want to be able to easily clean top and bottom from the inside. We have 26yo Anderson's that rotted out at the bottom about 17 years in. Just replaced a casement triple window in our kitchen with Marvin signature triple casement with hidden screens and want to gradually replace other double hung with Marvin double hung
Having an interior retractable screen on a hung window sounds like a good idea but I've never seen one before. I'll suggest that to my suppliers. Thank you for watching!
