Window FAQs

Frequently Asked Window Questions:

The most common questions we receive about Window FAQs

Should I replace my windows all at once?

If you’re looking to update your windows for aesthetic or energy-efficiency reasons, replacing all of them at the same time can provide substantial benefits. Larger jobs like these will often cost less than replacing each window at a time, as you can bundle up many of the expenses of a window replacement and frequently get great deals on purchasing many windows at once.

How long does window installation take?

Many window replacements or installations can be handled in a single day or maybe even a handful of hours. However, this depends on the number of windows being installed and the level of complexity of the windows. It’s best to expect it to be a two-day job.

Is it more cost-effective to replace broken glass or a whole window?

If the window has no other issues and only the glass pane has been damaged, replacing the glass pane makes more financial sense. However, if the window is old and outdated or poorly insulated, you’ll save a whole lot more by replacing the entire window.

What is the best time of the year to replace windows?

Replacing in early spring is a great choice, as weather rarely impacts scheduling and ensures you get your installation done in a timely manner. However, windows often see price reductions and sales starting in fall, which can save you money.

How do I choose a window style?

There are many signs that a window may need replacing outside of obvious cracks or shattering. Our team frequently suggests window replacement if:

Your current windows let drafts in
Your windows develop fogginess or collect moisture
The energy costs in your home are inexplicably high
There is damage on the frames, tracks, or other areas of your window
Your windows stick a lot and are difficult to open and close

Do I need new windows if I have condensation?

Not necessarily. Condensation forms when your windows are poorly insulated or when the air seals between your window panes wear out. It’s possible that new windows are the right choice, but replacing the panes with a new IGU (insulated glass unit) may also solve your problem.
