Why should I buy custom-made replacement windows?
First, custom-made windows are designed to fit your home, its opening and its style, all based on your selections. Standard size or stock windows, like those used by builders, or found in home-improvement centers, are available only in certain sizes. More often than not, those sizes are not the same size as your current window, which leaves you with inches of open space to fill so that the “standard” sized window will fit.

Can I install custom-made windows myself?
Sure you can, but perhaps the right question might be “Should I install custom-made windows myself?” Professional installers are trained and equipped to do the job correctly, neatly, and painlessly the first time. This insures the most accurate installation possible. Most are bonded or insured for any damage to your home or window during the installation and are prepared for any unexpected challenges they might encounter while installing the window. Also, measuring for the window is extremely important to insure the proper fit and installation of your new window. Measurements that are off by as little as ¼” will cause a custom-made window not to fit, or even operate, properly.

What’s the difference between vinyl, wood, and aluminum windows?
Unlike wood and aluminum windows, the color in vinyl (PVC) is “clear through”. Because the color is clear through, it never needs painting and doesn’t show scratches, which makes it maintenance free and assures its long lasting beauty. In addition, PVC doesn’t conduct heat or cold, like wood or aluminum do, so it reduces frost and condensation and is much warmer to the touch in the winter than wood or aluminum.

Today, vinyl is the material of choice in replacement windows. More vinyl windows are sold in the US than either aluminum, wood, or fiberglass. Vinyl’s long lasting, easy to clean, energy efficient, and maintenance free characteristics are no match for other window systems. In the years to come, more and more consumers will discover the advantages and cost saving value of vinyl replacement windows.

But just because a window is made of vinyl doesn’t mean it’s superior. The design, engineering, and manufacturing of the window all help distinguish a poor window from a superior window.

The fact that vinyl windows are maintenance free is great, but I like the look of wood. Can I get that look with a vinyl window?
Yes you can! We offer a variety of wood grain interiors on many of our most popular window styles. This durable wood grain finish provides the elegance of wood with the carefree maintenance of vinyl.

Great, but is this wood grain interior durable and long lasting?
Absolutely. Wood grain interiors have been on the market for years, outlasting most wood windows, and have been proven to resist fading, peeling, blistering and chipping. We use only the highest quality wood grain laminate that bonds itself to the vinyl window with heat and pressure, and it’s backed with a limited lifetime warranty for added peace of mind.
