"We replaced the windows in our 1933 home through the services of MadCity Windows. From the initial contact with their sales representative to final installation, the company provided top notch professional work. With the draft from the old windows and the cold of the glass, we are already saving on our energy bills. Our house had old, large windows, so they had to be custom made. As an industrial designer and interior designer, we find our windows to be of excellent quality."

"Legacy replaced nine windows in our 100+ year old home. Sales with Duane was low pressure and we found the prices and services were at a reasonable cost. Nick and the installation crew were friendly, professional and very respectful of the homeowners. The replacement windows were installed timely and professionally and look AMAZING! We are very pleased with Legacy Home Improvements and love the new look!"

"Hansons is replacing my roof not windows. Representative was thorough and friendly. Their pricing was consistent with other quotes with a seemingly superior product. Installation will be in a couple weeks after shingles are custom made for my home."

Windows questions, answered by experts

Wood windows are often worth the cost because they add more to curb appeal and your home value than more affordable options like vinyl and aluminum. Wood windows also offer better insulation than vinyl and aluminum windows, and they can last about twice as long. As such, they’re more expensive up front but offer greater value and a higher ROI.

In addition to protecting your home from costly storm damage, storm windows increase your home's value if you live in an area that’s prone to severe weather. Storm windows offer about an 80% return on investment (ROI). Therefore, if you install $10,000 worth of storm windows, you can expect to get around $8,000 back if you sell your home within a few years of installation. Additionally, highly hurricane-prone areas, like the Florida coast, offer even higher returns, with ROIs on storm windows reaching up to 86%.

No, windows cannot be made 100% soundproof. Even the most advanced setups still allow some sound to pass through because windows are designed to let in light and are not completely sealed from the outside. While you cannot achieve complete silence, significant noise reduction is possible, with some noise-reduction windows blocking up to 95% of outside noise.

The goal is to minimize air gaps, add mass, and reduce vibration. To block out as much noise as possible, consider hiring a professional to install new double-pane, triple-pane, or laminated windows. You can further enhance soundproofing with airtight seals, glass inserts, shutters, or sound-dampening curtains. With the right upgrades, you can block out traffic, neighbors, and other city noise to a much quieter level.

The biggest disadvantages of low-E windows have to do with cost and, depending on your personal taste, appearance. Low-E windows cost more than traditional windows—typically between $300 and $1,000 per window, plus installation costs. Though they can save you money in the long run, low-E windows have a hefty upfront price tag. Additionally, low-E windows have a slightly different look than traditional windows. While some people don’t notice it, others say the low-E coating gives windows a hazy look.

If the existing frame around the window sash is completely structurally sound, it's possible to save money by swapping out the sash for a new one instead of getting a new window. Keep in mind that it will be necessary to find a new sash that perfectly matches your existing window structure. In general, consulting a window pro to help you find the right match is the best way to ensure you're doing this project correctly.
