Taking into account the volume of replacement windows Houston homeowners purchase every year, you tend to wonder if there’s something fishy with the units themselves.
- Why replace windows often?

- How come manufacturer warranties aren’t helping to keep the volume in check?
Pathway to Efficiency
Different manufacturers can give you various answers to these questions. However, we strongly suspect that these issues boil down to efficiency. Are your windows serving their full purpose?
To avoid disappointment and untimely window replacement expenses:
- Consult with your contractor whether you need a complete replacement or a window retrofitting job. Units with defective locks and broken glass can still be salvaged.
- Stick to replacement units that meet Energy Star efficiency standards or passed National Fenestration Rating Council certification requirements.
- Explore your options. Consider products that are suited to your climate and location. Once you’ve made your short list, rank your options according to energy rating.
- Pick a choice. Use your short list of energy-efficient options and then factor in your preferences. Desired style, size, and working budget belong to this department.
- Make sure that the windows are properly installed. Don’t risk DIY home improvement. For best results, hire a professional.
