4. What are the benefits of replacing windows?
Upgrading your windows can bring a multitude of benefits to your home. Modern windows with superior insulation (indicated by lower U-values) and ENERGY STAR certification can significantly reduce your heating and cooling costs, potentially leading to substantial savings on utility bills. Additionally, some energy efficient window replacements may qualify for tax rebates or credits.
The aesthetic upgrade of new windows can significantly improve your home’s curb appeal, potentially boosting its value and attracting potential buyers. Upgraded windows can also offer better protection from the elements and may feature enhanced security features for added peace of mind.
6. Do you offer any discounts or promotions?
We are committed to providing competitive pricing and value for our customers. While we can’t disclose specific promotions here, we do offer seasonal discounts and promotions throughout the year. The best way to find out about current deals is to schedule a free consultation. We can discuss your project needs and explore any applicable discounts or financing options that might be available.
7. How much will window or siding replacement cost?
The cost of window or siding replacement can vary depending on several factors:
- Material selection: The type of window or siding material you choose will significantly impact the overall cost. Vinyl windows and siding are generally more affordable than options like fiberglass or wood.
- Brand and quality: Different brands and qualities of windows and siding materials can vary in price. We offer a variety of options to suit your budget and performance needs.
- Complexity of the installation: Projects involving unique window shapes, custom configurations, or complex removal of existing materials may require additional labor and expertise, impacting the cost.
Northeast (e.g., NJ, PA, NY) Specific Factors:
- Climate: Consider factors like harsh winters and potential coastal elements. Opt for materials that offer superior insulation and weather resistance.
- Home Style: Many Northeast homes have traditional architectural styles. Choose window and siding materials that complement your home’s aesthetics.
We will walk you through these to ensure that we are on the same page!

The timeframe for your project will depend on several factors, including the size and complexity of your home, the materials chosen, and our current workload. However, during your consultation, we can provide a more accurate
estimate based on your specific needs.
In general, most window replacement projects can be installed within 1 day, while siding projects may take a bit longer depending on the size of your home.
10. How much can replacing windows or siding increase my home's value?
Replacing old, drafty windows and worn-out siding with energy-efficient and visually appealing options can significantly enhance your home’s value. The exact increase depends on several factors, including:
- The overall condition of your home: A well-maintained home with updated features will generally see a higher value increase.
- Local market trends: The real estate market in your area will influence how much buyers are willing to pay for upgrades like new windows and siding.
- Quality of materials and installation: Investing in high-quality materials and professional installation will maximize the return on your investment.
According to industry reports, including the 2024 cost vs. value report, replacing windows can recoup between 60 and 65% of the project cost and siding replacement can recoup up to 80% of the cost when selling your home. See https://www.remodeling.hw.net/cost-vs-value/2024/
Note also that The NAHB publishes a Remodeling Impact Report which analyzes the impact of home improvements on various aspects, including resale value. The report might not focus solely on ROI, but can offer valuable insights. You can usually find the report on the NAHB website (https://www.nahb.org/).

Tax Rebates and Energy Efficiency
1. Can I get tax rebates for installing new windows?
Absolutely! The federal and state government offers tax credits for installing Energy Star certified windows that meet certain criteria. These credits can help offset a portion of the cost of your project. Our team stays up-to-date on these programs and can assist you in exploring your eligibility during your consultation
Here are some key points about the federal tax credit for energy-efficient windows:
- The credit applies to a percentage of the total cost of qualified windows, with a maximum credit amount.(Note: You can replace this sentence with the specific percentage and maximum credit amount if it’s readily available.)
- To qualify, the windows must be Energy Star certified and meet specific energy performance standards.
- Here is additional information from the IRS! https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/energy-efficient-home-improvement-credit
- We recommend visiting the Energy Star website (https://www.energystar.gov/about/federal-tax-credits/tax-credit-information) for the latest information and eligibility requirements.
2. How much can I save on energy bills with new windows?
Replacing old, drafty windows with energyefficient options can significantly reduce your energy bills. The exact amount you save depends on several factors, including:
- Climate: The difference in heating and cooling costs between your summers and winters will significantly impact your potential savings.
- Window size and type: Larger windows and single-pane windows typically lose more energy than smaller windows or double/triple-pane windows.
- Current level of window insulation: The better your existing windows are insulated, the less significant the improvement from new windows might be.
- Usage patterns: How often you use your heating and cooling systems will also influence your energy savings.
- Cost of energy: The price you pay for electricity and heating fuel will affect your overall savings.
While we can’t provide an exact figure without a consultation, Energy Star estimates that homeowners can save between $125 and $340 per year by replacing single-pane windows with Energy Star certified options. In some cases, the savings can be even higher. See the National Cost Savings Estimates for Choosing ENERGY STAR Qualified Windows.
