What Homeowners Like You Want To Know About 6 Minute Windows.

A: We’re the only company that allows you to buy new windows entirely online—and in as little as 6 minutes! 

That means no 2-hour appointments, no pushy salespeople, and no-nonsense. With our online system, YOU have total control of the buying process.

A: We get it—purchasing windows 100% online is a little different. After all, window companies have spent decades drilling into people’s brains that a 2-hour in-home appointment is necessary.

It’s not.

The truth is that buying windows is really, really simple. It’s the window companies that complicate the process with in-home appointments, bloated sales staffs, and pricing games.

We’ve stripped ALL of that away. Buying windows from us is a quick and easy 3-step process…

  1. Request our Window Calculator from our Buy Online page.
  2. Input your product selections in the Window Calculator to generate an instant, accurate price.
  3. If you’re happy with the price, submit your information to us directly from the Calculator. We’ll send you the paperwork to buy in as little as 6 minutes.

That’s all there is to it!

A: No problem! We also offer quick appointments via virtual consultation (Zoom, Facetime, etc.), phone call, or in your home. We’ll ask you a few questions, give you a little information about our windows, and then provide you with a firm price. In all, our appointments can take as little as 6 minutes!

A: We’ll let you in on an industry secret—when it comes to price, size doesn’t matter. A 24”x48” casement window costs virtually the same as a 36”x65” casement window. 

This means we don’t need to see your home to provide a down-to-the-penny price. We just need to know how many of each style you need and a few small details (woodgrains, grids, etc.). Once we get that information, we can give you a firm and fair price.

A: Nope! Once you agree to the price, we’ll send a specialist to your home to take precise measurements to ensure a perfect fit. The measurement process is non-intrusive and straightforward!

A: Alside’s premium vinyl Mezzo window. It’s independently certified for maximum wind, leak, and draft resistance by the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA). Plus, it looks fantastic and performs like a dream.

We scoured the industry to find the window that provides the best value and optimal efficiency for the Central VA area. The Mezzo beat out all others. HANDS DOWN.

A: Our unique company structure allows us to have lower overhead than other window companies. That means NO inflated prices.  You simply get premium windows at a premium VALUE. 

Window prices in Richmond and Central VA are all over the map. So it’s good to know a little bit about window costs before you decide to buy. Visit our Window Prices page to arm yourself with the knowledge you need to get the best windows at the best price.

A: We don’t require a dime from you until AFTER your windows are installed to YOUR satisfaction.

Don’t trust any company that asks for your money at the time of sale. You want to make sure your window company has plenty of incentive to get the job done fast and right. And the best way to make certain that happens is going with a company that refuses to accept your money until they know you’re totally satisfied.

A: Official Alside-certified installers—period. 

Unlike many window companies, we refuse to use cheap subcontractors and day laborers. Premium windows require premium installation. And that’s exactly what we provide you.

A: Absolutely. Just contact us  for an in-home appointment, and we’ll gladly bring samples to you. No sales pitch or pricing games—we can be in and out in as little as 6 minutes!

A: Here are the expected timelines, subject to minor variations: 

  • After you sign the quote, we’ll be out to measure your windows within 2 to 3 days. 
  • We order your windows from the factory, and they get shipped to our warehouse in about 3 weeks.
  • We then schedule an installation date with you at your earliest convenience (we usually try for 2 to 5 days after your windows come in). 
  • Total time: About 4 weeks.
