TALK IT THROUGH
Common window questions.
During and after your inspection, we’ll discuss your windows and options in detail. In the meantime, here are some of our most asked questions.
How do I know if it’s time to replace my windows?
Drafts, fogging between the glass panes, windows that are difficult to open, and increasing energy bills can all be signs that your windows are getting older or aren’t working as well as they should.
You might also notice damaged frames, worn seals, or rooms that never seem to stay comfortable. Not every issue means you need new windows. We can take a look and help you figure out whether a repair or replacement makes more sense.
How much do replacement windows cost in St. Louis, Missouri?
It depends on how many windows you’re replacing, their size, the style you choose, and the glass or other upgrades you want.
A standard double-hung window will generally cost less than a large custom picture window or a specialty-shaped window. Start with our project cost form, or ask about financing for qualified homeowners.
Do I have to replace all my windows at once?
Not at all. Plenty of homeowners replace just a few windows at a time: a drafty room, a sash that won’t open, or a few older openings they’d like to update first.
If replacing everything at once isn’t in the budget, we can help you decide where to start and plan the rest for later.
Can energy-efficient replacement windows lower my heating and cooling bills?
They can, especially if you’re replacing older, drafty windows. Modern windows with insulated glass, Low-E coatings, and good weatherstripping help reduce heat loss in winter and unwanted heat gain in summer.
Actual savings depend on your existing windows, the products you choose, and how well your home is insulated. Check your home for a clearer picture.
How long does window replacement take?
Many standard replacement windows can be installed in a few hours per opening. Replacing several windows may take a day or two, depending on the project.
Larger jobs, custom windows, or installations involving structural changes can take longer. Custom windows also have manufacturing lead times before installation can begin. We’ll go over the expected schedule before work starts.
Why is there condensation between my window panes?
Fogging or moisture trapped between the panes usually means the seal on the insulated glass unit has failed. Once that happens, the glass may not insulate as well as it originally did.
Condensation on the inside surface of the window is different and is often related to indoor humidity. We can help determine whether replacing the glass or the entire window is the better option.
What warranties come with new replacement windows?
We stand behind our installations with an industry-leading workmanship warranty, along with applicable manufacturer warranties on the windows we install.
Manufacturer coverage varies by product and may cover qualifying defects in the glass, frames, or other components. We’ll go over the details before installation.
