We match you with a single licensed, insured window company. A real measurement and a real number — no in-home seminar, no price that drops every time you say no.
The seal is gone. That unit is a single pane in an expensive frame now, and it cannot be repaired.
That's conditioned air leaving and your furnace covering for it, every month it stays.
The glass is cold enough to sweat. So is your energy bill — windows account for roughly a quarter of heating and cooling loss.
Rough shares of a typical job. Ratios, not prices — yours will differ.
Windows fail at the opening, not at the factory. Self-adhered flashing at the sill and jambs, integrated with the house wrap, is what keeps water out. If nobody can describe it, keep interviewing.
A few questions about the job and your area. Under a minute, and no phone number gets sold.
Licensed, insured, five-plus years in window replacement. One company per area — not a list of five.
They look at the actual job and give you a number you can read line by line. You decide.
Rarely on energy alone — typical savings run a few hundred dollars a year. Buy them for comfort, noise, function and resale. The energy is a bonus, not the case.
An insert drops into your existing frame — faster and cheaper, but it keeps that frame's problems. Full-frame goes back to the studs so rot can be found and the opening flashed properly.
Yes. Start with the rooms you actually live in. Any contractor who insists it's all-or-nothing is protecting their ticket, not your budget.
U-factor is how fast heat escapes — lower is better, and it's the number that matters in a cold climate. SHGC is how much solar heat comes through, which matters more in a hot one.
No lead selling. No five companies calling you at dinner. One contractor, one conversation.
