Custom-fit solutions that respect the unique architecture of Philadelphia’s historic and older homes
Reduced heat loss and persistent drafts for lower monthly utility bills
A quieter interior, as tighter seals and quality glass also block outside noise
Lasting peace of mind from insulated replacement windows that are built to withstand the demands of the Northeast climate.
Better Performance than traditional windows due to multiple panes of glass, specialty spacers, and advanced low-e coatings, resulting in higher window efficiency ratings.
Spend less time adjusting the thermostat and more days enjoying year-round comfort, whether in a downtown townhouse or a Main Line colonial.

Not all energy-saving windows are the same. There are a variety of window styles to suit different home designs, and each comes with high-performance efficiency features. Use this guide to find which type best fits your needs:
Bay and Bow Windows: Add natural light and expand your living space, with multi-pane construction boosting insulation.

Sliding Windows: Combine smooth operation with modern weather seals and insulated glazing for reliable efficiency.

Reviews
We used Five Star Contractors initially for siding replacement and stucco remediation. Because of their excellent work we had them return a year later to replace our aging roof and install new gutters and downspouts. The management team and crews on both jobs were professional, polite and respectful of our property and our neighbors. As their name says... their work is 5 Stars!
Five Star remediated our failing stucco and repaired extensive hidden damage. They also replaced all doors and windows. Their crews were professional, friendly and respectful. We were impressed with their ability to replace all the windows and doors without creating a mess, and they replaced all trim and plantation shutters seamlessly. Robert was frequently on site, and he offered excellent design suggestions throughout the project. We recommend Five Star without reservations. You will not be disappointed.
We chose five star and are so glad we did! When we purchased a home that needed a full stucco remediation we interviewed and obtained quotes from many companies. Five Stars quality of work and professionalism really stood out among the rest. They were easy to work with, attentive to detail, responsive and fully delivered going above and beyond. They are not the cheapest company but you get what you pay for, and we got the best!
We had a great experience with Five Star Contractors when they fully replaced our siding. Discovering that our house needed major repairs was a stressful experience, but from our first meeting with Matt and Michal we felt at ease. From start to finish, they were incredibly communicative, always taking the time to answer our questions thoroughly. What really stood out was how they walked us through the science behind proper construction techniques, helping us understand not just what they were doing, but why it mattered. Throughout the process we had multiple roadblocks on our end, and they were very understanding and flexible. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for skilled, transparent, and knowledgeable professionals.
Best contractor in the area. Attention to detail and very trustworthy. They do the job right and stand behind all their work. The crew works hard and their goal is to make you happy, whatever your needs are. Five Star will at least meet, but probably exceed your expectations as they have for me. They are neat and clean up the site every night before they leave, even using a magnet to find loose nails because I have 4 dogs. I couldn’t be happier with them and I am not easy to please. Michal, thank you for all you do.
Five star did an excellent job with our stucco remediation. The quality of the work is exceptional. Michael and Robert are very involved with the day to day operation and came up with excellent ideas to make our vision become reality. Every person on the team was a pleasure to work with. They were on time, respectful and professional . In particular Jesse is absolutely exceptional in everything he does. We wholeheartedly recommend Five Star!
