Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the window installation process typically take?
For a standard residential project (10–15 windows), installation usually takes 1 to 2 business days. On average, our crew spends 45 to 90 minutes per window.
● Timeline Factors: Total window count, current frame condition (e.g., wood rot), and weather conditions.
● Minimal Disruption: We work one room at a time to ensure your home remains secure and temperature-controlled throughout the day.
Should I replace just the glass or the entire window unit?
- Glass Replacement (IGU): This is a cost-effective option if your frames are structurally sound but the seal has failed, causing a “foggy” appearance. It is primarily recommended for newer vinyl or fiberglass windows to restore clarity and basic insulation.
- Full Unit Replacement: This is the recommended route for homeowners with original aluminum windows. If frames are rotting, warped, or drafty, replacing just the glass is a “Band-Aid” fix. A full unit replacement is the only way to achieve maximum energy efficiency, as it replaces the aged seal between the window and the house wall itself.
How much will energy-efficient windows actually save me?
- Monthly Savings: Homeowners replacing older, inefficient windows typically see a reduction of 12% to 30% in monthly heating and cooling costs.
- The “Comfort ROI”: Beyond the utility bill, new units eliminate cold drafts in the winter and the “Oven Effect”, that radiating heat you feel standing near an old window in the summer.
- UV Protection: Modern Low-E coatings block up to 95% of UV rays, which helps prevent your furniture, rugs, and hardwood floors from fading over time.
- Cost-Effectiveness: While high-end branded units exist, we focus on general energy-efficient upgrades that provide these savings without the excessive price tag of specialty luxury lines.
What is the difference between vinyl and aluminum windows?
- Original Aluminum: Many older homes have original aluminum frames, which are highly conductive and less energy-efficient than modern materials. Full replacement is usually advised for these.
- Vinyl and Fiberglass: These materials offer better insulation properties. When these frames are in good condition, they are the best candidates for simple glass-only replacements if a seal fails.
Does it make sense to replace windows at the same time as siding?
Yes. Strategically, it is the most effective way to protect your home for two main reasons:
- Proper Flashing: Doing both at once ensures that the window flashing is installed correctly behind the new siding, creating a watertight seal.
- Protecting Your Investment: Installing windows after new siding is already up often requires removing or adjusting the siding trim, which can lead to accidental damage to the new materials.
