Frequently Asked Questions:

When should I replace the windows in my home?
If you have single-pane glass windows (pre-1980) then it would be a good investment for you. Most windows sold today are double-pane glass. These windows have two panes of glass sealed together with an air space between them for insulation purposes. Double-pane windows help insulate your home against cold air, and they keep heat in more efficiently than single-pane glass. Additionally, if your windows do not slide well or are remain loose when closed then they are probably not sealing well and you are losing hot/cold air to the outside. Or if your windows have aluminum frames, you should probably consider replacing them with vinyl framed windows. Vinyl insulates well against hot & cold air transfer while aluminum does not.

What is the average cost for replacement windows?

A staff member will come to your home and answer any questions or concerns you have.
Why can't I purchase windows myself at a local home improvement store?
Sure you can buy windows yourself, but most replacement windows will need to be custom fit. Are you the type of person who is prepared for all the obstacles that come with custom-fitting your own windows? Most people are not and find it a painful lesson after they start and end up hiring a local contractor anyway to finish the job for them.
Do your installers need to come into my home?
Yes. While most of the installation process is done from the outside, our installers will need to be inside the home to complete the installation. Don't worry, Best'N Windows will use tarps on your floor and clean up after the job.
How long does it normally take to replace windows?
Removing an average size window and putting the replacement window in usually takes about 1 hour for each frame. However, several factors can end up altering this estimated time span. This is just a rough guideline.
What is "low-E" glass?
In general, "low-E" glass has a thin coating on one of the surfaces of the glass that increases thermal efficiency of the window. Your windows can benefit from "low-E" coating even if they are not in the path of direct sunlight.
What is Argon gas and why is it used in windows?
Argon gas is heavier than air, so it is often used in manufacturing to fill the space (replacing the air) between two panes of glass in a dual-pane window. Argon further increases the thermal efficiency of the windows.
