What is Solar Heat Gain Coefficient?

Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) measures the amount of solar radiation (heat from the sun) a window allows through the glass. This determines how effective a window is at preventing outside heat from getting into your home. The value ranges from 0-1, with the lower rating allowing less solar radiation into your home.

It's hard to find home improvement contractors you can trust. So when we asked around we were pleased to hear good stories about this team of professionals. Our home is very important to us and this company made us feel at ease. Craftsmanship, fair pricing, and be reliability. They allow you to make informed decisions confidently.

Family Home Improvements did an amazing job. The final product was better than I even expected. Reliable, quality work at a competitive price. I did my research and got estimates from other companies. Hands down Family Home Improvements was the way to go and I'm so happy I did. Will definitely recommend to others.

Stay away! Stay away! Stay away!Contractor quoted me $20,000 for the project without even taking measurements.He called their main office and they came up with that amount. But how ?There was not break down on labor, parts or other fees.Very disappointed with representative and with company’s estimate without even getting a picture or drawing of the project.He was rushed and gave me an estimate without even measuring the space where windows would be installed.I had to finde a measurement tape because he had none!Not sure how they even have a contractor’s license.He told me that this company uses them as the window builders and that they do not give written estimates because “most people don’t call back any way.”It is a bait and hook business, they attract you with a 2 window free offer and when they show up they don’t even mention it.He literally did not say how the offer would be applied to final total.Look somewhere else to spend your hard earned money.They don’t deserve your money or time.Run and don’t look back.Very shady 👀👀👀👀

I highly recommend Family Home Improvements to anyone in need of painting, siding, roofing, or window replacement services. I worked with them to have my entire house painted, and they did an excellent job - very professional, courteous, and punctual. They were also willing to work with me on price and were very competitive. The finished product was excellent, and I am very pleased.

I cannot begin to explain how great my experience with Family Home Improvement. My property has in excess of 100 windows so the process for selecting the design was daunting to say the least because a mistake would be an expensive oops. They was exceptionally patient and extremely helpful to me in coming up with the final design, counseling me on color options and window styles. We have gone through various seasons and on top of the windows looking FABULOUS (people stop and stare all the time), they have done wonders to reduce my utilities bills by helping to control the temperature. I definitely recommend This company because I got more than a bang for my buck!!!

I hardly ever come on here and post reviews but these guys really did a fantastic job. It’s hard to find efficient and responsive services when it comes to this line of work. I live in Bellflower and really needed a quick fix on my front door and these guys were on time and very communicative, really came through with great work and I highly recommend them!
