Window Replacement
Beautiful Vinyl Windows That Give You Better
Energy Efficiency, Security, And Overall Performance
Ready to replace your Northern VA-Suburban Maryland home’s windows?
Well, the truth is most modern, premium-grade, American-made vinyl windows are roughly the same quality.
What separates great from outstanding is the FEATURES.
- Energy Efficiency
- Beauty & Views
- Window Style & Glass
- Coloring / Finish
- Security Measures
- Noise Concerns
And the grandpappy feature is weatherability.
So, while we offer a wide product selection for our other services…we honed in on ONE exclusive manufacturer for our windows — the Sunrise Series from Mi. They offer all the features you could ever want from a window — energy efficiency, eye-turning beauty, noise reduction, and more.
But most importantly, Mi Windows are specifically built to withstand our climate.
Look, we’ve done the research and have the four-plus decades of home improvement experience to know without a doubt that these windows are the BEST for our region.
Hand-Crafted Windows To Suit Your Style
Mi Windows offer a mix of premium standard features and customizable styling options. They’re worry-free products from a proven manufacturer who’s been innovating windows for Northern VA–Suburban Maryland homeowners for over 75 years. Beautiful, elegant, low-maintenance, high-performance… our windows fit YOUR home and style!
Top 4 Features To Our Vinyl Windows
The differences between our high-quality virgin vinyl and cheaper vinyl alternatives are easy to see when you consider features like efficiency, styling, glass, and coverage.
Efficiency & Comfort
Mi Windows are tested and built to meet or exceed Energy Star’s North-Central zone requirements. They have insulated frames, a warm-edge spacer system, use Low-E glass (with argon), and have some of the lowest U-factor numbers on the market. For you this means better indoor comfort and lower energy bills.
Superior Styling
The Sunrise Series offers a full range of beautiful windows you can mold to create personalized spaces. These options include interior glazing beads, woodgrain finishes, architectural hardware, lovely exterior colors and paints, and custom interior trim.
Maximized Views
One distinct feature that sets Mi Windows apart is their focus on combining optimal thermal performance with narrow-line frames. They provide up to 27% more glass area than other vinyl windows. This means improved views and more natural light inside your home.
Industry-Best Coverage
Along with Shiner’s five-year workmanship warranty, Mi offers a Lifetime Non-Prorated Transferable Warranty on their windows. This protection covers your window’s frame, hardware, moving parts, insulated glass, and screen. And the coverage keeps going if you move, giving your home more resale value.

Precision Window Installations By Niche Crews
It’s hard to get the full benefits of new windows without precise, detailed installations. At Shiner, our no-cutting-corners policy means fewer issues, less upkeep, and better performance for YOU. Here’s our proven three-step process…
Before Installation
Our window work is done by the book and starts with a thorough preparation. Once delivered, all windows and materials are inspected, and measurements are triple-checked. We do everything needed to set up our installations and your project for total success.
During Installation
Our crews have at least a decade of specific window installation experience — they know how to work efficiently and keep a clean workspace. We also use premium caulking, sealants, supplies, and high-end tools—no pinching pennies on ANY materials.
After Installation
Once we finish installing your windows, we conduct a final inspection. And we add any final caulking or touch up any trim work needed. We’re not happy until every detail is perfect. After the project, we’ll be here to back our workmanship warranty for a minimum of five years.

Shiners was quick in coming over for an estimate for a wake trim due to wind damage and scheduling was easy. They even called earlier to let me know that they were coming earlier than the original scheduled date which I appreciate that they’re on top of their work load for their customers.
We highly recommend them to anyone looking for roofing or…
We’ve been working with Shiner Exteriors for over 5 years now, and they have consistently provided outstanding service. Most recently, they completed our roof repair and roof replacement, and the entire process was smooth, professional, and stress-free from start to finish. Bill was our main point of contact, and he was always responsive, professional, and extremely detailed in explaining the work being completed. He took the time to answer our questions, kept us updated throughout the project, and made sure everything was handled properly. The workmanship and quality exceeded our expectations, and the crew was punctual, respectful, and efficient. It’s rare to find a company that is both reliable and honest, but Shiner Exteriors has earned our trust over the years. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for roofing or exterior work!
I would 100% use them again, thank you!…
We used Shiner to redo all of our siding and replaced it with Hardie plank. They were great to work with and left the job site super clean everyday. Ryan is probably the best sales person I've ever worked with! He truly cared about getting the job done right and was always available to answer all my questions. I would 100% use them again, thank you!
A particular shout out to the support staff who did…
After conducting due diligence research, my family selected Shiner Exteriors to assess two leaks in our 20+ year-old roof. Shiner came back with a reasonable price for both a limited repair and a full-scale replacement. We opted for the full replacement. We also discovered a need to concurrently repair our two chimneys. Shiner worked alongside the chimney contractor and the project was completed on time and within budget. A particular shout out to the support staff who did a rather excellent job of clean up, leaving us to feel the Shiner firm exceeded our expectations and can easily be recommended for anyone in need of roof repair.
Highly professional and reliable service from start to finish….
Shiner Exteriors did an excellent job repairing my roof. They inspected thoroughly, clearly explained the needed repairs, and provided a fair, reasonable offer. The repair work was extensive and well done, and they left the area spotless afterward. Highly professional and reliable service from start to finish.
We’re very happy with their work….
We used Shiner to replace our roof. Their prices were very reasonable, they answered all of our questions and were very transparent throughout the process. We had a few heavy rains shortly after the new roof was installed and had no leaks. We're very happy with their work.
Important Window Replacement FAQs
Am I In Your Service Area?
Shiner Exteriors is based in Sterling, VA. That said, we serve the entire DMV or Suburban Maryland region. Please visit our Service Areas page for more information. Still unsure? Just call us, and we’ll quickly let you know if we can help.
Are Mi Sunrise Series Windows Expensive?
They’re premium, higher-quality vinyl windows, so they cost more than the endless mass-produced, generic, low-quality recycled vinyl (vs stronger virgin vinyl) on the market. Cost will also depend on the options and custom features you choose: size, style, glass, hardware, security, etc. The good news is we walk you through pricing step by step for ZERO surprises.
Can I Finance My Window Replacement Project?
Sure! This is common when replacing many windows or combining window replacement with other exterior projects. Financing helps you budget and get the project done sooner rather than later. Visit our Financing page for more info. Or, just let your Shiner project consultant know you’re interested, and they’ll walk you through the simple process.
How Long Will My New Windows Last?
Mi windows have the latest insulated glass technology, durable frames, and an innovative spacer system. All together, these features create a nearly unbreakable seal that keeps in argon gas for up to 40 years. This means you can count on unbeatable energy efficiency and indoor comfort for at least four decades.
Is It Better To Replace All My Windows At Once?
The more windows you replace at once, the better. This is for two reasons. First, you save a lot of money on the cost of the windows and labor. Second, your new windows will all age at the same rate rather than being staggered and needing to be replaced at different times later. That said, it’s common for homeowners to break the overall project up into phases.
What Are Other Benefits Of Your Vinyl Windows?
Mi vinyl windows are well-known for durability. They don’t warp or flex, and thanks to their engineering, they’re resistant to cracking, peeling, and weathering. They’re also low-maintenance and easy to clean. Finally, our vinyl windows (and sliding glass doors) provide TONS of options at cost-effective prices compared to other high-end materials like natural wood.
What Are Some Signs My Windows Need Replacing?
Common signs include condensation, a lack of noise reduction, visible damage to glass and decaying frames, drafts, leaks, poor functionality, and worsening energy bills. Our professional inspection can also let you know if your windows need replacing. You’ll know the exact state of your windows and other systems like siding and trim.
What Grid Options Do Sunrise Series Windows Come With?
The Sunrise Series windows have four grid styles: flat, sculpted, simulated divided lite (SDL), and simulated meeting rail (SMR). SDL works well for a more historical look, while SMR helps create a consistent look and brings together different kinds of windows.
