Absolutely! We offer a wide variety of custom window options to suit your home’s aesthetic. Whether you want a specific shape, size, or style, we can help you find the perfect window to complement your home.
Yes! Our windows are designed with energy efficiency in mind, featuring advanced technologies such as Low-E glass and argon gas filling, which help reduce heat transfer and lower your heating and cooling costs.
The lifespan of windows varies depending on the materials used and the quality of installation. Typically, well-maintained windows can last anywhere from 15 to 30 years or more. Vinyl windows, for example, can last 20-40 years with proper care.
We don’t have a physical showroom. However, we bring a wide selection of window models directly to your home for a convenient and personalized experience. This approach saves you both time and money, which we pass on to you as a consumer.
No, replacing windows will not damage your stucco exterior. When replacing existing metal windows, a new retro fin is used to cover the old frames, ensuring a seamless installation without harming the stucco.
Warm edge technology refers to the materials used to separate the panes of glass in an insulated window. Unlike traditional aluminum spacers, warm-edge spacers are made from materials that conduct less heat, preventing energy loss around the edges of the window. This improves the overall thermal performance of the window and helps keep your home more energy-efficient.
Argon gas is a non-toxic, inert gas used between the panes of insulated glass to improve insulation. It helps reduce heat loss by slowing convection heat transfer within the window unit, contributing to better energy efficiency. When combined with Low-E glass, argon gas enhances the window’s insulating properties even further.
Low-E glass (low emissivity glass) is an advanced insulating glass that significantly enhances energy efficiency. It reduces heat transfer by reflecting heat back into your home during colder months and blocking heat from entering during warmer months. This helps maintain a consistent temperature in your home, lowering energy costs and improving comfort.
The installation process typically takes 1 to 2 days, depending on the number of windows being replaced and the complexity of the project. Our team will ensure a smooth and efficient installation, minimizing disruption to your home.

If your windows are drafty, difficult to open or close, have condensation between the panes, or are more than 15 years old, it may be time to consider replacing them. Upgrading to newer, energy-efficient windows can help improve your home’s comfort and reduce energy costs.
Yes, you can save on energy costs. However, the savings depend on factors like your home’s orientation (north, south, east, west), the number and size of exposed windows, and the existing insulation in your home. Many homeowners experience significant savings monthly. You may also qualify for rebates, tax credits, or reimbursements for energy-efficient windows, so it’s a good idea to check with local city or county officials.
