Windows built for your openings, not pulled off a shelf.

Because you're comparing a mass produced window to one built for your house, and because the price on the shelf isn't the price of the project. Ours includes the window, the demolition, hauling off the old units, labor, the permit, any applicable taxes and the warranty. The larger difference is what happens down the road. A builder grade window has a shelf life, and once problems start showing up it becomes an expense somebody pays again, either you or whoever buys the house from you. A window built to last keeps that money in the home instead.

Because your windows are made after you order them. Companies that install next week are working out of warehouse inventory, which means your opening gets adapted to fit their window rather than the other way around. Ours are manufactured to the measurements we took at your house. That's the tradeoff you're weighing: a window that's available immediately, or one that's made for your home and holds its value there.

Fog between the panes means the seal on the insulating glass unit has failed. That unit is sealed at the factory as one piece, so there's no practical way to open it back up, dry it out and reseal it in your window frame and have it hold. Even where somebody attempts it, the result comes down to the condition of the original product rather than the quality of the work, which is why nobody can put a meaningful warranty behind it. Replacing the unit is what actually solves it.

Along the coast it's often a code requirement, and your local building department sets the standard for your address. Further inland it's usually a choice, and plenty of homeowners make it anyway. Laminated glass holds together when something hits it, which keeps wind and rain from getting inside and pressurizing the house during a storm. It also makes forced entry considerably harder and cuts down noticeably on road and neighborhood noise.

From early morning until the job is finished, which is generally the full business day and occasionally into the early evening. A whole home replacement usually runs one to two days. We don't leave an opening uncovered overnight, so however the day goes, your house is closed up and secure before we leave.

No. There's no minimum and we'll do a single window. Just know that the cost per window is higher on a smaller job, because a project carries a certain amount of overhead whether it's a few openings or the whole house.

Replacement windows require a permit. We file it and handle the inspection. It isn't something you deal with or pay for separately, since it's already in the number we quoted you.

They get hauled away the same day, along with all the debris. Nothing stays on your property overnight.

Yes. We work with several lenders, so there are a few different ways to structure it: twelve months with no interest and no payments, a low fixed monthly payment over a longer term, or a simple interest plan. None of them penalize early payoff. Tell us the monthly number you have in mind and we'll find the program that fits it.
