Affordable Prices
We might not be the least expensive option you have upfront, but we are the option that will save you more money in the long run due to our superior products. We think BOGO window deals are a joke and so should you. We give honest, upfront pricing with NO hidden costs or fees. We work WITH not AGAINST our customers to find the best fit for your home and budget.
Quality Craftsmanship
Your windows are made custom for you, with the features you choose. We do NOT offer the cheapest windows. We stay away from the basic standard window and door products because they are a lesser product that will not serve our customers well. We also only use the BEST caulk available. It costs a little more, but has a lifetime guarantee. Windows are only as good as the installer and caulk used also!
Honest Service
We believe in being honest. Period.
Burkhard Direct Windows and Doors takes pride in doing what is best for YOUR needs – not what is best for our wallet. During your free consultation, we will guide you through all your options for windows and door replacement solutions. We do NOT use subcontractors like the bigger companies. Our owner, Rob, is on every job.
Burkhard Windows did an amazing job replacing all of the windows in our home as well as two new sliding doors and windows for our three-season room. We had collected estimates from 4 companies. Rob was friendly, explained the different features of new windows and which ones were worth are money and which ones we could forgo to stay in budget without sacrificing quality.

Our Process
From start to finish everything we do is with our customers best interests in mind using quality materials and years of experience.
It doesn’t have to be stressful.
Making upgrades to your home can be stressful. Money, choosing the right people for the job, so many choices to choose from, confusing estimates, and more. We try to alleviate a lot of that stress at Burkhard Direct Windows and Doors by providing you easy to understand estimates, timelines, and communication throughout the project. Our work is guaranteed, and if an issue would arise, that would take top priority in getting sorted pronto. Also, we call our clients after their projects are complete on occasion just to check in and ensure everything is working great for them. We are always a call or text away, 7 days a week!
1. Our estimates
When you reach out to us, we will get your estimate scheduled for a day and time within a week or so that works for you. Generally, estimates take between 30 minutes to 90 minutes depending on the size of your project. We bring easy to understand information that will help in the decision-making process. We also bring windows along with us to show our customers the differences in the available options. We like to measure twice so we can cut once! Your estimate on average sized window replacements will be given to you the same day.
2. Communication & Coordinating
Which method works best for you? We will keep in touch via text, email, or phone during the time you’re awaiting the start of your project. Depending on the windows or doors and options chosen, it may be 4-8 weeks before your custom order arrives. We are not a company that subcontracts everything out. You are welcome to call us with questions regarding your estimate, questions about windows in general, or just to chat! We are always here for our customers as they are always here for us! Your business is how we pay the bills, after all! We want happy customers, that refer us to their family and friends.
3. Expect More
When you call us, you’re speaking to a family of a locally owned business. We will be there with you every single step of the way. We do not subcontract window installation out to other people. You’ll meet our owner Rob at your estimate, and you’ll see him every day on the job once we begin!
Some companies subcontract out, which does not necessarily have to be a bad thing but, some of these installers are paid “piecework” by the window. So, the quicker they can install a window the sooner they will be able to move onto the next home. We don’t do that. Quality matters here and it always will. There’s “installing a window” then there’s installing a window properly which might involve replacing some wood rot or thought processing some of the older home quirks for the best solution. Your business is how we pay the bills, after all! We want happy customers, that refer us to their family and friends.
Hidden Dangers of Old Windows
Let’s protect the lookers. You know the ones. They sit awaiting our return each day. Little pawprints on the windowsills and tiny handprints on the glass. They greet us with enthusiasm day in and out with excited barks and giggling squeals. How do they even know we are on our street before we pull into the drive? We lock up toxins, install safety gates, and ensure our cabinets have child safety locks. But what about our windows? Older windows can pose many risks to our furry and smallest family members. All the ones that love to watch and wait on us.
Lead Based Paint
Windows have the highest levels of lead in paint of any building component, lead paint chips are common in old window troughs, and friction surfaces on old windows. Lead-based paint on windows can pose a health risk to occupants, especially children and pets. Lead dust from old windows can be ingested or inhaled, leading to lead poisoning. Even opening and closing windows can generate enough lead dust to poison children, decades after the paint was applied. Lead based paint was banned in 1978, but many homes still have this paint in place today. We can test for lead and take the proper precautions to ensure the safety of your home for many decades to come.
Failing Operating Mechanisms
A sure sign it’s time to have windows replaced is when the mechanical components start to fail. Sticky windows that have to be yanked roughly to open, or windows that need “propped open” to stay open. This can lead to shattering glass, broken little fingers, and much more.
Broken Locks
This is pretty explanatory. We all need windows that lock. Or what if they problem is a window won’t unlock? Either way, it poses a major risk. Between keeping the loved ones inside safe from those on the outside but also allowing loved ones to get outside quickly in an emergency.
Mold and Moisture
Old windows are likely to let excess moisture into your home. All of that unnecessary water will raise the risk of developing mold issues. Mold growth can be harmful to people with breathing difficulties or allergies, and can cause infections, irritations, asthma, and other health problems. Poor seals, framing materials, and condensation from old windows can all contribute to right environment for mold growth.
This list is just a starter on the potential safety issues with older windows, The benefits of new window installation go well beyond energy efficiency.
