Windows FAQ
Are replacement windows worth the investment?
What's the difference between full replacement and insert replacement windows?
A full replacement window involves removing the entire existing window, including the frame, trim, and sill, before installing a completely new window system. Insert, or partial replacement windows, fit inside your existing frame, preserving the interior and exterior trim when the existing frame is still in good condition. The best option depends on the condition of your current windows and your remodeling goals.
Will new windows lower my energy bills?
Yes. Modern energy-efficient windows help reduce heat loss during the winter and limit heat gain during the summer. By minimizing drafts and improving insulation, replacement windows can help lower heating and cooling costs while making your home more comfortable year-round.
How do I know if it's time to replace my windows?
Common signs that your windows need replacing include drafts, rising energy bills, condensation between glass panes, windows that are difficult to open or close, rotting frames, and outside noise becoming more noticeable. New replacement windows can improve comfort, energy efficiency, and your home's appearance.
What types of replacement windows do you install?
We offer a wide selection of replacement windows to match your home's style and your budget, including double-hung, casement, sliding, picture, bay, bow, and specialty windows. We also install storm windows for homeowners who want to improve efficiency while preserving their home's original windows.
Which window brands do you offer?
We install quality replacement windows from trusted manufacturers, including Pella®, Vector Windows®, Ply Gem®, Wincore®, and Norandex®. These product lines offer a variety of materials, styles, colors, and energy-efficient options to fit virtually any home.
Can replacement windows reduce outside noise?
Yes. Modern insulated glass, multiple panes, and improved weather sealing help reduce outside noise, creating a quieter and more comfortable living environment.
Do replacement windows require a lot of maintenance?
No. Modern replacement windows are designed for easy maintenance. Many feature durable vinyl or aluminum-clad exteriors that never require painting, while tilt-in sashes make cleaning the glass from inside your home much easier.
Can I replace just one or two windows?
Absolutely. While many homeowners choose to replace every window at once, it's also possible to replace only the windows that are damaged, inefficient, or no longer functioning properly.
How long does window replacement take?
Most residential window replacement projects can be completed in one to two days, depending on the number of windows being installed, the condition of the existing openings, and any additional trim or structural work that may be required.
Should I replace my windows before selling my home?
New windows can improve curb appeal, increase energy efficiency, and make your home more attractive to potential buyers. While every situation is different, replacement windows are often viewed as a valuable home improvement that can enhance resale appeal.
Why is professional window installation important?
Even the highest-quality window won't perform properly if it's installed incorrectly. Proper installation helps prevent air leaks, water intrusion, drafts, and premature wear while ensuring your windows deliver the energy efficiency and long-term performance they were designed to provide. At Rock & Tait, we take a whole-home approach and understand how your windows work together with your home's insulation, ventilation, and building envelope.
Not sure if you need full or partial replacement windows?
Our full replacement windows involve removing the entire window, including the exterior and interior trim, and the windowsill, and replacing it, giving your home a refreshed look. Partial replacement windows are designed to fit inside your existing window frame, leaving both the interior and exterior trim completely intact.
