Before & After
Windows for
Comfort & Convenience
Tired of using a stick to hold your window open, or do you have a sliding window you have to wrestle open? Dread your heating bill in the winter and hate having to tape plastic over your single pane windows to keep your bill down? Perhaps, you simply don’t like the look of old rotting wood or cheap metal frame windows and want an updated look.
Sometimes getting new windows is like replacing your old car with a newer model. Your old car leaks oil, guzzles gas, has a couple dents, faded paint, and the a/c works when it feels like it. Your new car has remote start, power everything, looks greats, gets great gas mileage, has satellite radio, ice cold a/c, has lots of other cool new features, and what a pleasure it is to drive!
Window replacement is an investment in your house. They can most definitely be a step in the direction of making your house a “home”. We consider it a privilege to assist you in that journey any way we can.

Energy Efficient Windows
The estimated amount of heat or air conditioning lost through the windows in the average home is somewhere between 15 – 40%. New, energy efficient windows have double pane windows with Low E glass, and possibly argon gas filled, and will increase the energy efficiency of your home.
Low E, short for low-emittance, have microscopically thin, virtually invisible, coatings made of metal or metallic oxide layers. They are deposited on a windows glazing surface primarily to reduce theU-factor by suppressing radiative heat flow. So,
what does REALLY mean?
Low E glass is a type of treated glass that that conducts visible light while controlling the passage of heat. Low E stands for low emissivity. This glass is an energy efficient way to control the heat being allowed in and out of a home or environment.
Different types of Low E glass are available to meet the needs of varying climates. Heat transferred through glass is measured by the U-factor. This is the rate at which glass conducts non-solar heat flowing through it. The lower the
U-factor rating, the more energy efficient the glass.
Low-e glass allows visible light to pass through it but blocks heat-generating ultraviolet, requiring less artificial heating or cooling to keep a room at the desired temperature.
This glass works by reflecting heat back to its source. Low E is now available in what is called – Low E squared, or Low E2. In simple terms, this means the sealed, dual pane unit is coated on both sides, interior and exterior.
Low E Glass helps keep your home cooler in the summer, as well as helping to keep a good amount of the heat inside your home in the winter.
What window parts are involved when we replace your windows? We will determine the best option based on which parts will need to be replaced based on your current window structure, the new window you desire, as well as your home’s wall conditions. A variety of options exists, including the following:
1. Replacing the sash kits. Many window manufacturers offer replacement sash kits, which include jamb liners to insure good operability and fit. This particular method allows for fairly easy installation, and can offer significant savings.
2. Inserting windows into the existing frame - This is also known as “Retrofitting”. The old sash, side jambs and trim are removed, but the original frame is left in place. The new window is inserted into this opening.
3. Full window replacement – The existing frame is removed and the new window is placed into the same position that was occupied by the original window. This is a great time to address any other problems that may have occurred around the old frame, such as water damage, air infiltration, repair improper installation of original flashing and so on.
