Exploring Replacement Windows

If you're contemplating upgrading your home's windows, you might be looking at both the aesthetic enhancement and the energy efficiency benefits that new windows can offer. Here’s an in-depth look at what you need to know about replacement windows.

Why Replace Your Windows?

Energy Efficiency: Old windows can be a significant source of heat loss, leading to higher energy bills. Replacement windows, particularly those with ENERGY STAR® ratings, help insulate your home better, reducing heating and cooling costs.

Aesthetic Appeal: Windows are crucial for the curb appeal of your home. New windows can refresh the look of your property, offering a variety of styles, colors, frames, and hardware to match your home's decor.

Functionality: Over time, windows can become difficult to operate or even hazardous if the glass is broken or the frame is deteriorating. New windows ensure smooth operation, enhanced security, and can reduce noise from outside.

Types of Replacement Windows

  • Single Sliding Windows: These open horizontally, making them easy to operate and clean. They are ideal for ground floor rooms where you might want to increase ventilation without losing too much wall space.

  • Double Sliding Windows: Similar to single sliding but with two operable sashes, providing more flexibility in airflow management.

  • Bay Windows: These create additional space inside the room by projecting outward and offer a panoramic view, enhancing both the interior and exterior of your home.

  • Other Styles: Window styles like casement, awning, and picture windows, each serving different functional and aesthetic purposes.

The Installation Process

  1. Consultation: A consultant visits your home to discuss your needs, measure your window openings, and provide a project quote that includes all labor and material costs. This helps in selecting the perfect fit and style for your home.

  2. Selection: You'll have the opportunity to choose from various window types, colors, glass options, frames, and hardware. This step ensures that the windows complement your home's architecture and your personal style.

  3. Installation: On the installation day, your new windows are delivered, and the old ones are removed and disposed of. The installation team fits the new windows into the existing openings, ensuring a snug fit, proper insulation, and sealing.

  4. Final Touches: After installation, the team will inspect the work to ensure everything meets your standards. They will also put back any moldings, trim, and sills, although they do not reinstall security system components.

  5. Cost: The average cost for window replacement and installation can range widely, typically between $800 to $4000, depending on the size, number, and type of windows. Additional features like double or triple-paned glass or custom colors can affect the final price.

Warranty and Support

All installations come with a one-year labor warranty, providing peace of mind. Moreover, The windows are ENERGY STAR® certified, which not only can save on energy bills but also come with warranties for the windows themselves.
