Replacing windows can improve energy efficiency, improve security, enhance home aesthetics, and increase property value.  Most importantly they improve the comfortability of your home.  Allowing you to create a consistent comfortable climate from the basement to the top floor.

The lifespan of windows varies, but a common recommendation is every 15 to 20 years. However, signs such as drafts, condensation, or visible damage may indicate the need for replacement sooner.

Energy-efficient windows can reduce utility bills by preventing heat transfer. They also contribute to a more comfortable indoor environment, blocking UV rays and minimizing outside noise.

Low-E (low emissivity) glass has a special coating to reduce heat transfer. This coating helps eliminate heat transfer through your glass into the home, protect blinds and furniture from sun damage, and reduce glare.

While some may attempt a DIY installation, it's generally recommended to hire professionals. Proper installation ensures the windows function optimally, providing energy efficiency and longevity.

The time frame varies based on the number and type of windows, as well as any unforeseen issues. On average, a standard window replacement project for Elite Windows will be done in one day.

Window replacement can have a positive impact on home value and energy savings. The exact ROI depends on factors such as the type of windows, local real estate market, and energy costs.
