"I was 110% satisfied with the entire window project. From start to finish, everyone involved in the project was professional, friendly, and skilled. I had 6 windows replaced with renewals and all other windows wrapped to match. The windows are quality, the trim that the installers put up is beautiful, and every last detail was covered...including every little nail hole covered in matching putty. The wrap put on my older windows looks great, with a quality caulking job. Every one of my windows has been improved. I highly recommend Renewal by Anderson and Heritage Window and Glass in Superior Wis."
"Contacted Ray about installing egress windows. Ray was able to make it out to our home and inspected quickly and gave us a very fair price. He hand dug the windows which elminated the mess that machinery can make. After the windows were done, Ray went above the original scope of work and helped fix some blocks in the foundation. He was also able to remove and replace some of the original basment windows. We are now able to start on finishing our basement months earlier than if we went with another company.
Ray does fast quality work at a competitive price. If you need egress windows installed I would contact Ray first."

"Jim was very helpful and personable to work with. I had recently moved to the Huntsville area and was unable to connect my wireless printer. There were also some things going on with my laptop that made me suspect a virus had somehow gotten on to it, it was running more slowly than usual, and I wasn't happy with the Win7 configuration I had done when I bought the computer. Jim came in and assessed the problems and we agreed on a time for him to take the laptop and reinstall the OS. He was able to get the wireless connection to work as well. He took the computer on a Friday evening and returned it Sunday evening in prime condition. A few weeks later I got an error message while reinstalling my accounting software so I called Jim. He talked me through the problem over the phone and I was able to get the program installed so I could use the program. Jim is great to work with, his pricing is very fair, he is prompt and reliable. I will definitely use his services again. "
"It turned out pretty well. There's a little bit of miscommunication when it came to what the promotion included from on their end. Other than that, it's been wonderful. We paid extra because we have a couple more windows and doors than their general that they cover so we had to purchase a couple of extras. They were very helpful about setting it up very easily. They sent us a new sensor because one wasn't working properly. It was a very good experience."
"If you want to work with a company that goes the extra mile, choose the G.F. Company. G.F. sided our house plus a new addition and they did the job in December and January and those months were pretty cold months. The job was excellent in spite of having to work in cold and inclement weather. They went the extra mile by finding aluminum trim to match the existing windows. Also installed some new windows on the main residence. We are very happy with the windows. As it happens, through no fault of G.F., one of the window panes cracked after a couple of weeks. G.F. replaced it, no questions or hassle. I think the real test of a company is how they solve a problem.....G.F. gets A+. Lastly, when you deal with G.F. you deal with the owner. I saw Ariel before, during and after the job was completed....real customer service. I may need some roofing work done: I'll call G.F. David Fagen "
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.
Costs depend on window size, type, material, and labor. Custom shapes or sizes typically incur higher expenses; full installation includes removing old windows.
If you live in a colder region, consider installing double- or triple-pane windows with low-E coatings, which can trap heat and keep your house warm. In hot areas, windows with reflective coatings and insulated frames help keep cooling costs down. If you experience a lot of extreme weather, then impact-resistant glass might be a worthwhile investment.
Casement windows are safer against intruders than double-hung windows because they are extremely difficult to pry open from the outside. However, if you’re concerned about young kids or pets, double-hung windows have safety features you might prefer. With double-hung windows vs. single-hung or casement windows, you can lock the bottom sash and open just the top sash to keep children and dogs or cats safe.
Mold on windows forms due to excess moisture from condensation, poor ventilation, or leaks. Cold glass surfaces can attract condensation, especially in winter. High indoor humidity, lack of airflow, or dust accumulation are also contributors. To prevent mold growth, improve ventilation, regularly clean sills, and consider using a dehumidifier or sealing any leaks.
