Replacing your windows is a big investment—and you deserve clear, honest answers before making a decision. Below, we address the most common questions homeowners ask about energy efficiency, installation, warranties, and customization, so you can feel confident every step of the way.
Energy Efficiency & Performance
What is the U-factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC)?
The U-factor measures how well a window prevents heat from escaping your home. The lower the number, the better the insulation.
The Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) measures how much solar heat passes through the glass. Lower SHGC values reduce unwanted heat gain in warm climates, while higher values can help capture warmth in colder regions.
We select window options with optimized U-factor and SHGC ratings based on your climate and your home’s exposure.
Are these windows ENERGY STAR® rated for my specific climate?
Yes. Our windows meet or exceed ENERGY STAR® requirements for your specific climate zone. This ensures your windows are designed to perform efficiently whether you’re dealing with hot summers, cold winters, or a mix of both.
Do the windows feature Low-E glass and argon gas fill?
Absolutely. Our standard windows include:
- Low-E (low-emissivity) glass to reflect heat while allowing natural light in
- Argon gas fill between panes for improved insulation and year-round comfort
These features help lower energy bills and keep indoor temperatures consistent.
Installation & Contractor Standards
Are your installers directly employed or subcontractors?
Our installations are performed by trained professionals who meet our strict quality standards. Whether directly employed or carefully vetted subcontractors, every installer follows the same installation protocols to ensure consistent results.
How long have you been in business and are you licensed and bonded?
We are fully licensed, bonded, and insured, and we bring years of experience in professional window replacement. This protects you, your home, and your investment from start to finish.
How do you protect my home during installation?
We take great care to protect your home by:
- Covering floors and nearby furniture
- Sealing work areas to minimize dust
- Cleaning up thoroughly after installation
Your home will be treated with the same care as if it were our own.
What happens to my old windows?
We handle removal and responsible disposal or recycling of your old windows, so you don’t have to worry about cleanup or hauling.
Warranty & Ongoing Service
Is there a separate warranty for the window product and installation?
Yes. We offer:
- A manufacturer’s warranty covering the window itself
- A separate installation warranty covering workmanship
This dual protection gives you complete peace of mind.
What does the warranty cover?
Coverage typically includes:
- Glass seal failure
- Frames and sashes
- Hardware and operating components
We clearly explain all warranty details before installation—no fine print surprises.
Is the warranty transferable if I sell my home?
Many of our window warranties are transferable, which can add value and appeal when selling your home. Specific terms vary by product, and we’re happy to review them with you.
