Checklist: Replacing Your Windows

Should I Consider Window Replacement?
If your energy bills are higher than you think they should be or higher than you wish they were, window replacement can considerably lower your bills, not to mention beautify your home.
If your current windows don't operate easily, are painted shut, or are otherwise broken or problematic, you most likely need new ones.

How Should I Go About Replacing Them?
Pick a frame material and construction for superior thermal performance.
Consider glazing layers, low e-coatings, fill gases and NFRC rating system when choosing new windows.
Go for higher quality windows to really see the savings.
Hire a reputable firm to do the job right. Quality first.

Window Styles
Decide what opening style best suits your needs or consider turning a current opening window into a stationary picture window.
The panes can make a difference in how they are broken up. There are colonial styles, single pane, double pane, stained or tinted glass. There are many options to consider.
