Question 1

What is the difference between replacement windows and new construction windows?

Accepted Answer

Replacement windows are installed into an existing window frame when the frame is still in good condition. This option is often less invasive and can be a cost-effective way to upgrade older windows.New construction windows involve removing the entire existing window and frame down to the rough opening. They typically include a nail flange and allow installers to inspect and address issues such as rot, water damage, or insulation concerns before installing the new window.The best option depends on the condition of your existing windows, your home's exterior, and the goals of the project.

Question 2

Do replacement windows improve energy efficiency?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Properly installed replacement windows can help improve insulation, reduce drafts, and increase overall home comfort. Modern windows often include features such as Low-E glass, insulated glass units, and improved weather sealing that may help reduce heating and cooling costs. Actual energy savings will vary depending on the condition of the existing windows, the products selected, and the home's overall insulation and efficiency.

Question 3

Can rotten wood around windows be repaired?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If rot or damage is discovered during installation, repair options can often be completed before the new window is installed. Because rot is sometimes hidden behind existing trim, siding, or framing, it may not become visible until the old window has been removed. If damage is found, we discuss the condition, explain available repair options, and review any additional work with the homeowner before proceeding.

Question 4

Do you include cleanup after installation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We take steps to protect work areas, maintain a clean jobsite throughout the installation process, and perform a final cleanup once the project is complete. Our goal is to leave your home clean, organized, and ready to enjoy after the installation is finished.

Question 5

Can you help homeowners choose replacement windows?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Homeowners are welcome to supply their own windows, or we can help guide them through available options based on their style preferences, budget, and performance goals. We take the time to explain different window styles, materials, glass packages, and features so homeowners can make an informed decision that fits their home and project needs.
