Double-Hung Windows
Our double-hung windows feature patented tilt-in sashes for easy cleaning and maintenance. Designed with fusion-welded frames and multi-chambered profiles, they resist warping in extreme temperatures. Homeowners benefit from improved energy efficiency through Low-E glass options and argon gas fills, reducing heating and cooling costs while maintaining classic aesthetics.
Casement Windows
These outward-opening windows use heavy-duty vinyl frames and stainless steel hinges for decades of reliable operation. The crank mechanism allows precise ventilation control while compression seals create weathertight barriers. Ideal for hard-to-reach areas, they combine modern functionality with traditional architectural appeal through customizable grille patterns.
Patio Doors
Our sliding patio doors incorporate reinforced vinyl profiles and multi-point locking systems for enhanced security. The rolling mechanism glides smoothly on heavy-duty tracks while energy-efficient glass packages maintain interior comfort. Available in widths up to 12 feet, they create seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor living spaces with minimal maintenance requirements.
Fiberglass Windows
Crafted from durable fiberglass composite materials, these windows resist expansion and contraction in temperature extremes. The proprietary finish maintains color integrity for 25+ years without peeling or cracking. Homeowners gain superior strength compared to vinyl while retaining thermal performance benefits through insulated frame cavities filled with foam.
Lifetime Warranty
Our comprehensive warranty covers window frames, hardware, and installation labor for as long as you own the home. Glass units receive 20-year protection against seal failure and accidental breakage. The transferrable warranty includes no service call charges for covered issues, providing long-term value and peace of mind for property owners.

Report
We bought windows for our whole house a few years ago and we're happy with our salesperson, the installation crew and the office staff. At the time we could not afford another patio door and later regretted not paying. Gilley quoted us slightly more a few yrs later but not as much as I thought but remembered they had done our whole house. We had to wait fir our door which we knew because of supply chain but were called within 48 hrs and set up for next day when it came in. Looks beautiful and workmanship was top notch. Would highly recommend.

I love my new Gilkey Windows! WOW. The difference they make regarding noise from the outside as well as no more drafts throughout the house. Quality product! The installers were friendly, knowledgeable and respectful of my house. Best investment I made in quite some time! Service: Window installation

Gilkey is a great company! The salesman, Bob Cohen, explained everything simply and showed clearly how Gilkey windows are better than Champion. Sherry in the office was easy to deal with too. The installers, Daniel and John, arrived right on time and did a tremendous job installing the doors and another crew did the windows, so the time to install everything was shortened. They cleaned up well, put our shades back up correctly and explained everything very clearly and did a perfect job! I cannot imagine any window company in the Tri-State area being better than Gilkey!

The door is beautiful and was a perfect fit. Installers were friendly and thorough - very knowledgeable. They took great care to be sure it fit just right and we are very pleased with Gilkey's customer service. Our salesman even stopped by as they were finishing up which was totally unexpected. A quality organization that we will definitely use again.
