Windows

Homeowners often choose to repair their current windows rather than install replacements in order to save on cost. In many instances, particularly with minor issues, this is the more affordable and even wiser route. However, there are several cases in which it would benefit you more to simply replace your current windows, especially if they are older.

Some signs you may need to replace your current windows include:

• Your current windows are single pane
• The window hardware is no longer being manufactured
• Frequent fog and condensation between the glass panes
• Pervasive rot
• Repairs could result in lead paint exposure
• Your current model is outdated and is causing you to waste energy heating or cooling your home

Depending on the model, most windows should last at least 15 years and can last for up to 30 years if cared for properly. If your windows are over 15 years old and you are starting to notice signs of deterioration (warping, drafts, leaks, etc.), you should probably start considering replacing them.

Some of the benefits of having new windows installed in your home include:

• Increased property value
• Improved energy-efficiency, lower monthly utility bills
• More environmentally friendly
• Stable climate control and comfortable indoor climate
• Ease of cleaning
• Increased home safety and security
• Improved air quality
• Enhanced curb appeal
• Noise reduction

Depending on the size and model you choose, replacement windows can cost anywhere from $300-$900, but the average is around $500. However, there are additional factors that can alter the price significantly, like whether or not you choose upgrades to the hardware, custom colors, the type of glass, screens, etc. These upgrades may also have an impact on labor costs. The best way to receive an accurate estimate is to get a free, no-obligation consultation so we can fully assess your needs and discuss which options you’d like installed. 

Installing new windows or replacing a current one is a quick process; between 30 minutes and an hour. Our team is typically able to replace 10-15 windows per day. In most cases, we can finish replacing all of the windows in a home in a day or two.

Keep in mind that this refers only to the installation process itself. First you must choose which windows you want to have installed so we can order them and have them delivered. The full timeline is typically determined by how long it will take for your windows to be delivered based on their current availability.

Though watching a professional install a new window may make it look simple, the window replacement process is actually very precise and meticulous. Attempting to install windows yourself may result in further damage to the home or injuries to yourself, both of which will end up costing you more money and stress than hiring a licensed, bonded and insured contractor.

Outside of extreme weather conditions like strong precipitation or very high winds, our team can install new windows any time of year. We will also do all that we can to minimize energy loss while we are installing your new, energy-efficient windows.

There are a few simple things you can do to prepare your home for our team to begin installing. You want to remove all of the window dressing like blinds, curtains, etc. Moving any furniture away from the windows can also help make space for us to move freely. During the installation process, we lay tarps and cloth in the surrounding area to protect your floors, walls, and furniture from incurring any damage.
