Replacement Windows

Why replace the windows in your home?   
A national research study examined the cost of replacement windows in an average-sized home.  They looked at how much the windows would add to a house’s value if it were sold a year later.  The average rate of the window replacement cost recouped was 91.6%. This research study, conducted by Remodeling Magazine utilized professional opinions of over 200 real estate agents and appraisers in the top remodel markets.

So you’re convinced it’s time to replace the windows in your house.  There are many options out there when it comes to window replacement, but the first step is to decide what look is best for you.

What’s your style?
Replacing a window is a great opportunity to update the look of your home. A classic, double-hung window may be just what you have in mind, but consider some alternatives. A bay or bow window opens up a room, inviting the outdoors in. You can replace an ordinary window with a garden-style window to wash a room in sunlight. You may be surprised how creative replacement window choices enhance the appearance of your home.  The good news here is our specialists can consult you on the best window alternatives for your home.

  • Casement windows provide an elegant and secure window alternative for residents of Florida. A casement window is one that opens from the side, turning on a vertical axis like a revolving door.
  • When closed, casement windows are the most airtight and tamperproof of any design, offering you maximum peace of mind in times of inclement weather. On the other hand, casement windows can be opened completely, making them the best window for natural ventilation. Screens are usually hung internally to prevent insects or dirt from entering your house.
  • Casement windows look like fixed windows since they do not have the crossbar at eye level, but they open completely to offer easy cleaning access. 
  • Casement windows often feature small handle cranks to make opening and closing easy and come in the windowpane style of your choice.
