I don't sell windows. I help you buy them.
Independent consulting for American homeowners importing windows from Europe. No commissions. No preferred suppliers. No referral kickbacks. Just straight answers from someone who's spent 7+ years on the inside of the European window industry.
Three ways Americans source European tilt-turn windows.
Each path has its own tradeoffs in cost, risk, and how much project coordination lands on you. Here's how they compare side by side.
Things I can save you from.
Reviewing a factory quote
Send me the offer you got from a Polish factory. I'll tell you what's solid, what's overpriced, and what's missing — line by line.
Comparing offers side by side
Got quotes from two or three different sources? I'll translate them into a fair apples-to-apples comparison and explain what the spec differences actually mean for your home.
Decoding the technical specs
Uw, Ug, SHGC, profile depth, gasket count, hardware grade, glazing buildup. I'll walk you through what each one means and which numbers actually matter for your climate zone.
Spotting red flags before you wire money
Suspicious deposit terms. Vague delivery clauses. Missing performance documentation. Factories that "white-label" components from cheaper sources. I know what to look for.
Direct factory vs. US importer
Buying directly saves money — but adds risk and complexity. I'll help you decide whether you have the project size, timeline, and tolerance to go direct.
Logistics, customs, and install
Ocean freight terms, customs clearance, last-mile delivery, installation tolerances, what to brief your GC on. The stuff that surprises people after the windows ship.
One focused way to work with me.

Most American window consultants profit when you buy. I don't.
You pay me a flat fee for an hour of my time. That's the entire transaction. I have no factories I represent. No referral deals. No quiet kickbacks tucked inside your final invoice. I'm not trying to steer you toward one supplier or away from another.
If the quote you've already received is excellent, I'll tell you to sign it and not hire me again. If it's overpriced or technically sloppy, I'll show you exactly where and why — without trying to redirect you to "my partner factory."
No commissions
Zero financial relationships with any European window manufacturer or US importer. You pay me; that's it.
No preferred suppliers
I won't push you toward a specific factory because someone pays me to. I'll point you toward what fits your project, period.
No upsell
One call, one fee. If you don't need a follow-up, I won't manufacture one. I'd rather you tell three friends than book a second hour you don't need.
I've been on every side of this transaction — except yours. That's why I started this.
I've spent the last seven-plus years working exclusively in the European window industry, all of it pointed at the American market. First as a project manager at a US-focused window broker, where I personally walked thirty private homeowners through the full import process — from first quote to final installation. Then on the supply side, at two Polish window manufacturers selling tilt-turn and aluminum systems into the United States.
I've negotiated dozens of orders with Polish factories — every spec line, every revision, every escalated problem. I've hand-held nervous American homeowners through their first six-figure window order. I've talked specs with US architects, framing tolerances with general contractors, and install details with crews who'd never seen a tilt-turn handle before.
I know what factories say, what they actually mean, what they leave out of quotes, and what goes wrong on jobsites. I've watched well-meaning brokers steer their clients toward suppliers that paid better margins. That's the gap this advisory exists to fill.
Frequently asked.
Are you actually independent, or is this a sales funnel in disguise?
Genuinely independent. I have no margin agreements, referral deals, or affiliate relationships with any window manufacturer, importer, or installer in any country. The only money I make from this site is the consulting fee you pay directly. If I ever change that, this answer changes — but for now, this is a flat-fee advisory and that's it.
Can you recommend a specific factory or supplier?
I can — but only based on fit. I'll explain which factories tend to be strong for which kinds of projects (passive-house performance, aluminum-clad timber, large architectural openings, tight budgets, fast turnarounds), and what each one's typical strengths and weaknesses are. I won't push you toward any one of them, because I have no financial reason to.
Do you speak Polish? Can you call factories on my behalf?
Yes, I'm a native Polish speaker and I've spent years working directly with Polish manufacturers in their own language. For the standard consultation, I'll prepare specific questions and language for you to send to the factory. If your project warrants direct contact on your behalf, we can scope that as a separate engagement.
What if the call doesn't actually help me?
Two things. First, the pre-call questionnaire exists specifically so I can prepare and so you don't waste the hour explaining basics. Second, if at the end of the call you genuinely feel you didn't get value, email me within seven days and I'll refund you. I'd rather lose a fee than have someone walk away frustrated.
How does payment work?
You pay at the time of booking, by credit card, processed securely through Stripe. Once payment clears, you'll get a confirmation, a calendar invite, a Google Meet link, and the pre-call questionnaire — all automatically. No invoices, no follow-ups, no surprises.
What time zones do you work in?
I'm based in Europe but I keep evening hours specifically for US clients. The booking calendar shows times in your local zone — Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific. If nothing fits your schedule, email me and we'll find something off-calendar.
Do you work with builders, GCs, or architects too?
Yes. The site is written for homeowners because they're the most underserved, but the same consulting works for general contractors, architects, and small builders specifying European windows for the first time. Same pricing applies.
Cancellations and rescheduling?
Reschedule any time up to 24 hours before the call — no charge. Cancel up to 24 hours before for a full refund. Inside 24 hours, I can reschedule but not refund (my time was held). Full terms in the terms of service.
Stop guessing. Get a real answer.
Most clients walk away from a single call knowing exactly which way to move. Some find out their existing quote is fine and they don't need a second meeting. Either way, you'll be unstuck.
