Windows are rated on multiple performance factors. U-Factor measures how well a window prevents heat loss (lower is better). Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) measures how much solar heat the window transmits (varies by climate). Learning to read these ratings helps you select windows appropriate for your climate and energy needs.
ENERGY STAR certification ensures windows meet strict government energy efficiency standards, and NFRC (National Fenestration Rating Council) provides independent verification of these ratings.
Even the highest quality windows perform poorly if installed incorrectly. Proper installation requires meticulous attention to flashing, sealing, and finishing. Poor installation can lead to air leaks, water infiltration, and compromised energy efficiency.
Our workshops emphasize why professional installation is an investment in long-term home performance, not just an expense. Quality installation ensures warranty coverage, manufacturer performance guarantees, and years of reliable service.
Before planning window and door replacements, understanding your home's overall energy profile helps prioritize improvements. Energy audits identify where your home loses conditioned air, where improvements provide the greatest impact, and where to focus renovation investments.
We guide homeowners through simple assessment techniques to understand their home's performance characteristics and make data-driven decisions about window and door upgrades.
Home improvement projects require financial planning. We help homeowners understand costs, calculate return on investment, identify available tax credits and rebates, and plan budgets realistically. Energy-efficient window upgrades often qualify for government tax credits that offset initial costs.
Understanding the true cost of home improvements, including both immediate expenses and long-term savings, helps you make financially sound decisions aligned with your home improvement goals.
Choosing the right contractor is critical to project success. We share the criteria we use to evaluate contractors: licensing and insurance verification, reference checking, detailed estimates, warranty understanding, and professional communication.
Learning to evaluate contractors protects your investment and ensures you work with qualified professionals committed to quality work and customer satisfaction.
Windows and doors require basic maintenance to ensure longevity. Regular cleaning, seal inspection, weatherstripping maintenance, and hardware care extend the life of your installations and keep them performing optimally.
We provide practical maintenance guidance so homeowners can protect their investments and enjoy years of reliable performance from properly installed windows and doors.
