5 Common Misconceptions About Window Replacement

Window replacement is much easier than you think! From a simple process to quick installation.  Duncan explains it here. 

Here's a quick synopsis:

Misconception #1: The Process for Replacing Windows is Complicated

We try to make it really simple. You make an appointment. We send a professional expert on windows and doors to come to your house and fix it. They discuss with you what you're trying to accomplish. Once you sign a contract, we have a project manager come back to your house to take the exact measurements and get the scope of work.

Misconception #2: Consultation & Installation Lead Times are Long

Both have lead times. Once you've made a decision and signed your contract, there's a lead time. That is the time made for manufacturing, getting on our schedule, and getting our installers to come out and actually do the job. Usually, the first one is a few days. Typically, the lead time for installation is four to six weeks. ​

Misconception #3: There are No Tangible Benefits to Replacing Windows

Most people think about replacing their windows for energy efficiency, noise reduction, and beautification, but there are many other benefits.

Including security.

The technology on windows and doors has changed incredibly in the past 50 years. Having the sliding panel on the inside, anti-lift clips on the top of your windows so nobody can jimmy your windows out, positive action locks, multipoint locking systems on doors, incredible security, and comfort.

Energy efficiency is not just about blocking the sun or trying to keep things even. The comfort that you experience with not having drafts in your home and big fluctuations in temperatures is something that most people don't think about. ​

Misconception #4: Costs Outweigh The Value of New Windows

The value of new windows and doors sometimes far outweighs the cost.

The cost is just a fixed amount of money you spend to complete the job. The lasting difference that it makes in your lifestyle.

For example, in Southern California in the summer, you're probably going to use sliding glass doors sometimes 40 times a day. Think about how many times and how many people go in and out of that door if you have a pool, or you're having a barbecue, or you've got friends over. If you've got an old one right now that doesn't slide well, that is an absolute pain in the neck.

The benefit year in and year out of having ease of operation, beautification, security, comfort, noise reduction blocking the UV rays, and keeping the radiant heat inside your house, an incredible amount of value over and above the initial cost.

Misconception #5: I Will Have to Move Out During Installation

People do ask us, do I have to move out? Do I need to get a hotel room?

In most cases, you don't need to move out of your house. Whatever we take out, we put it back on the same day.

We're very careful with your home. We take down the blinds and put them back up. We do ask that you move some of your furniture out of the way, but we plastic everything off. It's very clean. Replacement windows were designed to remove the inconvenience of having to bust out your stucco, rip out your drywall, and treat it like a massive remodel.

We measure the windows to fit your home, making the installation process much easier.
