Frequently Asked Questions
Do replacement windows come in standard, pre-made sizes?
No, replacement windows are custom designed to fit perfectly, so they provide maximum energy efficiency and aesthetic beauty.
Will I save money on heating and cooling costs if I replace my older windows with ENERGY STAR® approved replacement windows?
The answer to this question is a resounding yes. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, replacement windows will save a homeowner somewhere between $126 and $465, or more, per year, depending on the size of the home and the type of windows that are being replaced.
Moisture is one of the biggest culprits in the deterioration of your home. It can cause excessive damage to masonry and cement, windows, doors, and even the foundation. Excess moisture can also create serious mold problems within your home. Siding seals out moisture and waterproofs your home against water damage, thus increasing the longevity of your home.
Why are vinyl replacement windows so popular?
Vinyl replacement windows are widely utilized for a number of different reasons. They are relatively inexpensive, and they provide a high level of energy efficiency. These windows are easy to install, and they come in many different styles, colors, and sizes. Plus, they are virtually maintenance free, and can be cleaned with a mild detergent solution or a mixture of vinegar and water.
The look of wood is appealing, but the maintenance is a hassle, and they are expensive. Is there a low-maintenance replacement window alternative that resembles wood?
Yes, the ideal solution is now available. Composite windows that are manufactured with a blend of wood fibers and thermoplastic polymers look just like wood and are very durable. They are twice as strong as vinyl windows, but they are just as easy to maintain and keep clean as vinyl.
How long does it take to install replacement windows?
Window installation time will vary because some projects are more complicated than others. This being said, as a general rule of thumb, a 15-window replacement job can typically be completed in just one day.
Do I really need to replace my windows, or can I just repair them?
In order to save on costs, many homeowners choose to repair their windows instead of replacing them. While most of the time you may be able to repair and restore old windows, it is often not worth the effort or the expense. In the following instances, it is best to replace your windows:
- If you have pervasive rot
- Your existing windows are single pane
- Fog or condensation exists between glass panes
- Window hardware is no longer manufactured
- If repairs would cause exposure to lead-based paint to you or your children
When is the best time to install window replacements?
Replacement windows can be installed year-round, outside of extreme weather such as precipitation or very high winds.
What’s the difference between new construction windows and replacement windows?
Replacement grade windows in general are typically higher quality windows than new construction windows. The primary reason is because new home builders are always looking for the cheapest products to maximize profits on their project.
Will my replacement windows be installed from inside or outside my home?
In most instances replacement windows are installed from the outside. In some situations, though, it may be necessary to install replacement windows from the inside. On the day of installation, your window installer will assess your specific situation and explain the process that will best suit your home.
How often should home windows be replaced?
It really depends. The quality of the windows you buy along with the quality of the installation is what really is going to determine when they need to be replaced.
If you go with high-quality windows installed by Allied Home Remodeling, you will likely not have to replace your windows for the duration of your time living in your house. A true quality window made today is engineered to last at least 30 years. The products, testing, and engineering in the higher quality replacement window designs are all much more thorough than they used to be, which allows for longer term performance.
What’s the best window frame material?
There are many advantages and disadvantages when it comes to the various window frame materials. When choosing a material for your window frames you should always look for the best combination of strength, durability, insulating properties, ease of maintenance, and attractiveness. Each of the main window frame material choices on the market offers some of these features. For example:
- Wood window frames are usually the most attractive, but they require regular maintenance and can be negatively affected by changes in the weather
- Vinyl window frames are super easy to care for, but over time may sag or warp
- Aluminum window frames are strong, but offer almost zero insulation
- Fiberglass window frames are fantastic when it comes to energy efficiency but typically cost more than the others
Do I need to replace all of my windows at the same time?
If your goal is to realize maximum energy savings, then yes you should replace all of your old windows at the same time. However, it is not essential. Replacing even a few windows at a time will help to reduce energy use and lower your heating and cooling bills. If you’d prefer not to replace all of your windows at the same time, we advise either replacing all of the windows on one side of the home together or one level at a time for a multi-level home.
What’s the difference between single-hung and double-hung windows?
The terms single hung and double hung refer to windows that operate up and down. A single hung window is fixed at the top and only the bottom sash opens. On a double hung window, both the top sash and bottom sash open and both usually tilt-in for cleaning.
