Restore

If you have foggy window then restoration may the first option for you to consider before replacement.  Foggy

windows can occur when the original factory seal on a double pane window has failed.  This can be due to

cracks and damage or the seals have worn out. Restoration involves repairing and reestablishing the seal after

removing the moisture.  Restoration can be far less expensive than replacing your windows.

Repair

If your windows have broken glass or damage to the frame you may want to repair the specific problem with

your windows.  Glass repair is fairly common and be done without replacing the entire window.  As your

windows age, you may have damage to the window frame or sill.  This damage may also be fixed in place of

replacing your windows.

Replacement

Why replace your windows?  The first situation is you may have a window that can’t be restored or repaired for

less than replacing it.  You may also consider window replacement to take advantage in the advances in

energy savings in new high-performance windows.  In many cases ENERGY STAR windows will pay for

themselves by saving on your energy bill.  And another reason to replace your windows is to improve the

appearance and resale value of your home.  New windows improve curb appeal, increase resale value and

can reduce your heating and cooling cost.

Energy Star

Installing ENERGY STAR qualified windows can lower your energy bill

and save your money over single-pane windows.  It may even save you

money over existing double-pain, clear-glass windows.  Make sure the

windows you choose are high performance ENERGY STAR qualified for

your region.
