Windows come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and functions. The right window can change how a room feels, how your home looks from the street, and how much you spend on energy costs. Whether you’re building a new home or planning a window replacement, GoTo Roofing helps Ann Arbor homeowners pick a window style that fits the home, the room, and the budget.
Picking the right window comes down to how you want the room to feel and how you want the window to work. Some homeowners want operable windows that bring in fresh air and excellent ventilation. Others want a panoramic view with plenty of natural light. Frame material, energy efficiency, and architectural style all play a role too.
Our team walks you through every window type, frame material, and low-e coating option available, so you can move forward with confidence. No high-pressure sales tactics, no gimmicks. Just honest answers built around your home.
Single hung windows have one operable sash on the bottom while the upper sash is pinned in place. Their versatility and affordability make single hung windows a popular choice among homeowners and builders across Ann Arbor.
The double-hung window is the most common of all window types thanks to its low maintenance build and ease of use. Both the upper and lower sashes move up and down, and many styles tilt inward for easy cleaning. These make a great choice for residential homes that want a classic look with modern function.
Casement windows are built from solid glass panels mounted on a side hinge and open outward with a crank mechanism. The design creates an unobstructed view and seals tight when closed, making them a strong pick for energy savings and ventilation.
Similar to a casement window, the awning window is hinged at the top and pivots outward from the bottom. This window style would allow for airflow during light rain without letting water in, which works well for bathrooms, basements, and tight spaces.
Sliding windows have side-by-side panels that glide horizontally along top and bottom tracks. They’re an excellent choice over a counter or sink, or anywhere a crank-out window isn’t practical.
Picture windows are large, fixed windows with no visible frame breaks, framing the view outside like a piece of art. A picture window brings in maximum natural light and pairs well with operable windows on either side.
A bay window protrudes from the exterior wall and creates a small shelf inside the home, often used for plants or a reading seat. Traditionally, a bay window combines a fixed center picture window with a pair of double-hung or casement windows angled in at 30 to 40 degrees.
Picture windows are large, fixed windows with no visible frame breaks, framing the view outside like a piece of art. A picture window brings in maximum natural light and pairs well with operable windows on either side.
A garden window extends outward from the home with glass on all four sides, creating a miniature greenhouse. It includes an adjustable shelf and two casement windows on each side for air flow. A garden window is ideal for herbs, flowers, or collectibles.
A projected frame window sits in a frame that extends outward from the wall rather than flush with it, adding a bit of depth and dimension to the exterior. It’s one of the most customizable window options we install, with flexibility in color, shape, and glass design to fit nearly any space.
When standard shapes aren’t meeting your needs, a specialty shaped window fills the gap. Round, half-round, elliptical, oval, and hexagon options are available. Most specialty windows are fixed and used to add architectural interest to residential homes.
Sliding patio doors give easy access to the outdoors without the swing space a hinged door needs. The large glass panels make the room feel bigger and bring in plenty of natural light.
The window frame you pick affects maintenance, energy efficiency, and how long the window lasts in Michigan weather. Every new window we install is built for Michigan temperature swings, with options for double strength glass, low-e coating, and storm windows to cut energy costs and help your air conditioner work less in summer.
Ann Arbor homeowners want a window installation team that shows up, stays involved, and does the work right. GoTo Roofing built its reputation on staying hands-on, with attention to detail homeowners deserve.
✔ Full-Project Oversight: Our project supervisor is there through install day, not just the first walkthrough. If something needs a second look, we catch it before we pack up.Â
✔ Honest Pricing From the Start: You’ll know what the window project includes, which materials we’re using, and what it costs before we break out a single tool. No hidden fees.Â
✔ Quality You Can Count On: We install American-made windows from manufacturers with proven track records, and we back our workmanship after the crew leaves.Â
✔ A Clean Property When We’re Done: Window installation creates debris, and we plan for it. We tarp, sweep, and haul so your home looks like a home when we wrap.Â
✔ Real Communication: One business-day response on calls and emails. You’ll always know who’s running the project and where things stand.
A window project often uncovers other exterior concerns. Siding that’s seen better days. A roof showing its age. Gutters that aren’t draining the way they used to. Instead of coordinating multiple contractors, GoTo Roofing handles it all: one team, one plan, one point of contact for your entire exterior.
