 The Consultation

Choosing Your Windows

This is the exciting part of the window replacement process. You get to tailor your windows to your style and preferences. Material Selection: Double-paned windows are standard for energy efficiency. Choose from vinyl, fiberglass, or wood frames. Each has its advantages so find out about the durability, maintenance, cost, and aesthetics.

Style Options: Select a style to match your home’s architecture. Popular options include casement, sliding, awning, or bay windows. Consider installing a patio window to really upgrade your home.

Glass Selection: Options like Low-E coatings for improved energy efficiency or impact-resistant glass for added security are up for grabs. Tinted glass reduces heat gain in sunny climates.
