Answers to Common Questions About Replacement Windows

How long does it take to install new windows?

Gone are the days when window installation was a days-long process. Most replacement windows can be installed within just a few hours. There is minimal disruption to your daily life, home, and schedule.

Does a replacement window really pay for itself?

In the long-run, absolutely. Newer windows are made of more energy-efficient materials, which means they provide better insulation than older makes and models of windows. With increased insulation comes increased energy efficiency, resulting in heating and cooling costs reduce by as much as 40%. Over time, what you will save on your utility bills will more than pay for your replacement windows.

Do I clean my new windows like I cleaned my old ones?

In most cases, new windows are far easier to clean than older ones. They are designed with routine cleaning and upkeep in mind. Many types of newer double-hung windows, for instance, are made to slide easily for optimum access, and they often tilt in and lock in place for even easier cleaning.

I'm selling my home. Should I get replacement windows before listing it?

Yes. New windows add value to a home. In fact, it is one of the single best home improvements one can make to add the most value to their home and increase their asking price.
