Window Replacement FAQ

Most homeowners on Long Island pay between $350 and $950 per window installed, depending on the window style, frame material, and glass package. A typical whole-house replacement of 16 windows ranges from $4,200 to $15,200. We provide free, detailed estimates with no hidden fees.

Yes. Whole-house projects get better per-window pricing because our crews can work more efficiently when replacing all windows at once. We offer volume discounts starting at 8 or more windows.

Yes. We offer 0% APR financing for 12 months and low-rate extended plans up to 84 months through our lending partners. Monthly payments for a whole-house project can start as low as $89/month with no prepayment penalties.

Not for windows installed in 2026. The federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit ended after 2025. Ask us about current utility rebates when you get your estimate.

Homeowners insurance typically covers window damage caused by storms, vandalism, or accidents — not wear and tear or age. If your windows were damaged in a storm, we can work with your adjuster and provide the documentation needed for your claim.

A single window replacement takes about 1 to 2 hours. Most whole-house projects (10-20 windows) are completed in 1 to 3 days. We schedule installations to minimize disruption and always clean up at the end of each day.

In most Nassau and Suffolk County towns, a permit is required for window replacements, especially if the opening size changes. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service at no extra cost.

James or one of our senior estimators will measure every window being replaced, assess the condition of your existing frames, discuss your goals and preferences, and present material options with transparent pricing. The visit takes 30-60 minutes and there is absolutely no pressure.

Yes, we install windows year-round. Each window opening is exposed for only about 30-60 minutes during the swap. We use temporary weather barriers and work one window at a time to keep your home comfortable throughout the process.

Our typical lead time is 3-5 weeks from signed contract to installation. Custom windows or specialty orders may take 6-8 weeks. Emergency replacements due to storm damage can often be accommodated within a few days.

Vinyl is the most popular choice on Long Island — it is durable, energy-efficient, maintenance-free, and handles our climate well. For higher-end homes or historic properties, wood-clad windows from Andersen, Pella, or Marvin provide a premium look with low-maintenance exterior cladding.

We are certified installers for Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Harvey, Alside, Sunrise, and Simonton. We help you choose the right brand based on your priorities — budget, aesthetics, energy performance, and warranty coverage.

Double-pane windows have two layers of glass with one air space (typically argon-filled) and one low-E coating. Triple-pane windows have three layers of glass, two air spaces, and two low-E coatings — providing about 20-30% better insulation and significantly more noise reduction. Triple-pane adds $150-250 per window.

Absolutely. Low-E (low emissivity) coatings reflect infrared heat while letting visible light pass through. In winter, they keep heat inside your home. In summer, they block solar heat gain. Low-E glass is standard on all our installations because the energy savings more than justify the minimal additional cost.

We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on every installation. If anything goes wrong with our work — leaks, drafts, trim issues — we come back and fix it at no charge. This is in addition to the manufacturer's warranty on the window itself.

Most window manufacturers we install offer a lifetime limited warranty covering the frame, sash, hardware, and insulated glass unit against defects in materials and workmanship. Some manufacturers also cover glass breakage and screen damage. We provide all warranty documentation at project completion.

Call us first. If the issue is installation-related, our 10-year workmanship warranty covers the repair at no cost. If it is a manufacturing defect, we handle the warranty claim with the manufacturer on your behalf and coordinate the replacement — you do not need to deal with the manufacturer directly.
