Empire Windows: Aesthetics and Function

Mimi Vanderhaven • May 4, 2026

If your old windows are drafty, sticking or just plain unattractive, here’s how Empire Window Company combines aesthetics, function and a low price to bring comfort and curb appeal to your home.

With its 66-year history, Empire Window Company has the volume and longstanding vendor relationships to offer high-quality replacement windows at more affordable prices than other companies. Find out with a free, in-home estimate.


One of the best investments you can make in your home is new windows. Not only will they recoup your investment when selling your home, you also get to enjoy the lifestyle benefits while you live there.


To explore those benefits, we spoke with Bill Gartner, owner of Empire Windows, one of Northeast Ohio’s longest-standing and most reputable companies, offering many exterior home improvement products—windows, siding, entry doors, and gutter systems.


“Replacement windows are one of those products that improve both aesthetics and function at the same time,” Bill says. “That’s what our customers are looking for. They want the beauty new windows provide—both inside their home and through curb appeal—as well as improved operation.


We instantly help eliminate the problems associated with older windows: drafts, condensation, sticking sashes, failing hardware, and more. The result is greater comfort in your own home.”


Homeowners also appreciate the low-maintenance nature of Empire windows. “You don’t have to paint them, and with fold-in sashes, they are so much easier to clean,” Bill says. “You clean them from inside your home, so you don’t have to get on a ladder or tramp through your flower beds to enjoy a crystal-clear view.”


Energy Efficiency

With energy costs rising sharply, another key benefit is energy efficiency. “Today’s windows are much more technologically advanced than in years past,” Bill says. “They feature robust foam ‘Super Spacers’ that separate the double- or triple-glass panes. This means much better insulation, less condensation, and improved soundproofing. Better noise reduction is especially important if you have a dog that barks at every little noise outside your bedroom window.”


Between the glass panes is argon gas, which also reduces thermal conductivity, keeping your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Plus, Bill’s windows feature Low-E coatings—an ultra-thin, transparent layer that reflects heat and blocks harmful UV rays.


Professional Installation

All this quality matters, but proper installation is equally important. “Even the best window in the world can’t do its job if it’s not installed correctly,” Bill explains. “Our crews are specialists in their craft. When you purchase windows from us, you can expect an elite window and door installation team. When you purchase siding, you’ll get our experienced siding installers. Everyone here is professional and we have some of the best installers in the business.”


A superior window with professional installation means it’s unlikely you will ever have a problem with your purchase, but if you do, there is another benefit to Empire—its longevity.

“We’ve been around for 66 years, and we plan to be here 66 years from now,” Bill says. “Unlike window companies that come and go, we’ll be here to honor our warranties. We love being able to offer that peace of mind.”


“You Deserve a Fair Price”

One final benefit of dealing with Empire is cost. You may have noticed that one of the company’s slogans on its advertisements and billboards is “You deserve a fair price.”


“We use that slogan because so many less reputable companies take advantage of homeowners by overcharging them,” Bill cautions. “We don’t do that, and we won’t do that. Our buying power and longstanding vendor relationships allow us to purchase materials at lower prices than our competitors. Our suppliers know and trust us, and those relationships translate into lower prices for us and for our customers. Before you buy, it’s always best to get an estimate from us.”


Siding, Doors and Gutters, Too

In addition to windows, Empire offers high-quality entry doors, French doors and sliding patio doors with hundreds of color and glass style options. It handles siding jobs too, big or small, and offer all of the top brands, including Hardie Board, in virtually any color. The team can also put the finishing touch on your siding project with brand-new seamless gutters.


“Other than roofing, we handle all the most popular exterior home projects,” Bill concludes. “And we’ve been doing it better, more affordably—and for far longer—than most.”
