Frequently asked questions
Is it cheaper to replace all windows at once?
Yes - contractors usually discount per-window labor on larger jobs, so a whole-home project lowers the unit price.
How long do replacement windows last?
Quality vinyl or fiberglass windows last 20-30 years; wood needs more upkeep.
Do new windows lower energy bills?
Low-E, double- or triple-pane windows cut heating and cooling loss and often qualify for efficiency tax credits.
