New Replacement Windows

Shaun McFadyen

No matter the age of your home, new replacement windows can provide a fresh look and an increase in natural light inside -- and they'll even boost the value of your home for when you decide to sell. 


While there are many renovation upgrades that you can engage in at home, few are as affordable and impactful as new replacement windows. Not only is there minimal prep work to be done, but installing new replacement windows is quick and easy and takes under an hour each with a reputable installer, meaning that you can transform your home's look and function in one quick day.


No More Single-Pane Glass


For homeowners that have been putting up with single-pane glass for years or decades, it's never been a better time to join the modern age with modern windows that reject outdoor sounds, provide increased energy efficiency and come in a variety of styles and designs that suits any home or taste. Double- and triple-paned glass is also stronger and more robust, providing increased security and safety to everything inside, including your family.


Increase Your Home's Value


Unlike other home improvement upgrades that can take weeks or months to complete, new replacement windows help your home value with one of the shortest installation times of any home improvement project. In fact, certain studies have shown that up to 75 percent of the cost of new replacement windows goes directly into to your home's value, making them an even better investment in your future while you get to enjoy the benefits today.


Enhance Your Home's Security and Safety


Old, dilapidated windows aren't just an annoyance -- they're a security and safety concern. If your home's windows can't be shut or locked reliably and effectively, you could be risking the safety of your family itself. Worse yet, in the case of a fire or other hazard, old windows could actually prevent you and your family from getting outside to safety if latches and frames prevent reliable operation. On the other hand, new replacement windows reliably work with every interaction, reducing frustration and enhancing operation at any time.


Improve Energy Efficiency


Compared to older windows, today's energy efficient windows are much better at keeping your home's inside air comfortable by stopping drafts and sunlight from interfering with your home's climate control. Instead of leaking out cold air when it's hot outside or bringing in the cold when you're trying to keep warm inside, new replacement windows can help your home increase its energy efficiency by up to 15 percent, which can really add up over the course of an entire year.


Reduce Window Maintenance


If you're sick of cleaning dirty blinds and digging muck out of troublesome hardware that never seems to work right, today's new replacement windows are a dream come true. With convenient features like between-the-glass blinds or sashes that tilt in, you'll be able to spend less time cleaning your new replacement windows, leaving you more time to enjoy the view.

Patio door maintenance is something most people with a sliding, French, or swinging door will need to face at least once in their lifetime. Trust us, it happens even in the best of households! Especially with sliding doors, since these backyard or porch entry doors are used all the time by your family — to relax in the garden, bask in the sun or even head downtown — these doors will eventually get broken. But there are a few things you can do to get your door back in shape. And if these tips don’t work, you can call us at (800) 672-3777 to help you out . Sometimes, a high-quality replacement door will be best. So read some maintenance tips for patio doors (sliding and swinging) below! Sliding Patio Door Maintenance Tips #1 Clean the sliding door track  Especially if it’s a sliding door facing your yard, it’s probably got a lot of dirt and grime on its track. This can get the door wedged or make you need to force it open. Eventually, this extra brute force over time can even break the door permanently. So, get a toothbrush and start scrubbing. Get all the debris off and then use a vacuum. You’ll notice the door starts sliding more smoothly! #2 Lubricate the sliding door track Make sure your door slides well by lubricating it. Use any spray lubricant (like WD-40) and apply it throughout the track. #3 Adjust the rollers of the sliding door Sometimes, the height of the rollers is causing an issue. And you can fix this by adjusting their screws. Usually, these screws will be hidden behind a cap (which you can pry off with a knife). Once you reach the screws, it’s the time for trial and error: fasten or loosen the screws till you notice the door is running smoothly. It’s simple, but this tip solves many sliding door issues! #4 Lubricate the screws of the sliding door After you’re done adjusting the screws, it’s a good idea to spray some lubricant to make sure they stay in good shape. Swinging Patio Door Maintenance Tips #1 Lubricate the hinges of the swinging door If the swinging door is sticking (or requiring force to budge), then spray lubricant onto the wedges. It’ll probably get it back to normal again. If you find any rust, use steel wool or even dab some cola (yes, the soft drink) on the hinges. In some severe cases, you might need to remove the hinges and keep them in cola for at least a day. #2 For doors that swing too quickly, use a mallet or firm paper You can slow down doors by tapping the underside of the hinges with a mallet. This will make the pins spring out, which you can then bend gently to make sure the doors stop swinging so fast. Another option instead of using a mallet is to place some firm paper under the hinge (where it meets the frame). #3 Replace the hinges of the swinging door Sometimes, mallet and paper tricks won’t solve the problem. You’ll need to remove the hinge and get a new one. To replace it, remove the hinge pins and then unscrew it entirely. Pay attention to make sure the door doesn’t fall and that you install the new hinge correctly. As soon as you screw the new hinge, run some swing tests to make sure it works. And you should always apply some lubricant on the hinge if needed. Maintenance not working?
