"After receiving an estimate for cleaning the outside windows, I also asked for an estimate for cleaning the inside ones and the gutters. Fast, awesome job with great customer service."
"I was selling my home and the home inspector found a window glass that needed replacing. I contacted HomeAdvisor and selected Dacus Glass to make the repair. The contractor responded promptly, measured the glass and gave me a quote. He stayed in contact with me while the glass was on order. Once it was received, he promptly installed it. I was very pleased with his service."
"Charlie and Jeff were very professional and friendly. They arrived as scheduled and went directly to business on cleaning all windows inside and out. Our house was vacant for a period of time before we purchased it. The previous owners were cigarette smokers and smoked inside for 20 years. After we cleaned, repainted, replaced all light fixtures and appliances, we finally called Gridley Window Cleaning Services. They made these windows look like new again. I intend to use them again on a routine basis! 😁

In short, it depends. After 20 years, the glass in your windows is less energy efficient, which can cause increased electricity bills. You might also see signs of water damage or natural wear and tear over the years. However, with proper maintenance, some window frames can last up to 50 years, so you may only need to replace the glass to save on energy.
At the same time, window replacement is a major investment, so replacing the glass in rooms most impacted by outdoor temperatures is one way to avoid going all-in to replace your windows.
You will need about half of a caulking cartridge to caulk one window. The average home has eight to 10 windows, so you would need about 4 or 5 cartridges to caulk every window in an average-sized house. However, you may not need to caulk all the windows at once. If just one window has a pesky draft, you may only need half of a cartridge to fill in the gaps.
Windows provide light and a view of the outdoors without the inconveniences that the outside world can come with, like noise, rain, snow, and unpleasant scents. Vinyl windows also provide energy efficiency thanks to their insulating properties, keeping your home at its coziest temperature no matter what season it is. They’re also excellent noise dampeners, so your interior space can stay calm and quiet.
Yes, storm windows should be tempered. According to the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors, tempered glass is stronger and can withstand temperatures higher than laminated glass. Tempered glass is important for storm windows because it protects against outside elements and household accidents by not producing sharp, jagged pieces when it breaks or shatters.
Most properly installed and maintained windows last between 15 and 20 years. Fiberglass windows last much longer than your average window. Since they don’t warp from temperature changes, rust, or rot, you might be able to hold onto fiberglass windows for up to 40 years. On the other hand, poorly maintained wood windows may only last for a few years.
