Designs that Inspire
Windows that are hard to open or don’t open at all, window frames that are damaged or deteriorating, fogging between windowpanes, and temperature leaks from inside or outside your home are all signs that your windows may be in need of replacement.
Temperature fluctuations caused by leaky windows aren’t just inconvenient. Because of the extremely hot summers and extremely cold winters here in Indianapolis, leaky windows are not energy efficient and will lead to expensive utility bills.
Don’t delay, replace those inefficient windows before all your hard-earned dollars seep out your drafty windows.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are old windows worth repairing?
You can almost always repair and restore old wood windows if you’re willing to set aside the time and can find replacement hardware. But it’s not always worth the effort and expense. Major problems include:
- Rot. Once rot starts, it’s tough to stop unless you commit yourself to replace rotted wood (a difficult job) and then maintaining it regularly. Consider replacement.
- Sagging casement (crank-out) windows. You can usually replace worn-out crank mechanisms but bent or worn hinges are tougher and replacements don’t always solve the problem. Consider new windows.
- Fogged double-pane glass. The fogging that occurs between the glass panes may or may not be able to be fixed. Glass replacement (sometimes the entire sash) is the only solution. This is often difficult and it’s expensive if a pro does it. Compare the “fix-it” cost with the cost of a new window, depending on if the window is still manufactured.
Are double-pane windows better than single-pane windows?
Single-pane windows often leave rooms feeling chilly and dry in cold weather and overheated in warm, sunny weather. Windows with double-pane glass can greatly improve the comfort of your home. They can block much of the heat of direct sunlight but still allow the light to come through (less need for shades). They’ll reduce cold drafts and the chill of cold glass. And they’ll reduce condensation so you can keep the indoor humidity at a higher, more comfortable level in cold weather. New energy-efficient windows will also save on your fuel bills but rarely enough to justify the investment if your old windows are still in good shape.
How can you tell it is time to replace your windows?
Are you sick and tired of nursing your windows along, or are you OK with the minor maintenance jobs that go along with them? Consider:
- Ease of operation. Do they lift, swing or slide easily, or do you hesitate to open them when you want ventilation?
- Scraping and painting. Painted windows require regular maintenance. Otherwise, they’ll rot and fall apart. New windows with aluminum or vinyl cladding or that are made from vinyl or a composite eliminate this chore.
- Condensation. Does condensation regularly collect on the glass, cloud the view and soak the window trim? Higher-efficiency glass in new windows will help reduce this problem.
- Storm windows. Do you mind cleaning, maintaining and putting up and taking down storm windows? Do your storms need replacement?
- Cleaning. Is this so difficult that you avoid doing it? Many new windows are designed to make cleaning a snap.
What are some common signs that my windows need repair or replacement?
Signs that windows need repair or replacement can include drafts, condensation between panes, difficulty opening or closing, water leakage, cracked or broken glass, increased energy bills, noise infiltration, and an outdated appearance.
How long does it typically take to replace a window?
The time it takes to replace a window varies depending on factors such as window type, installation complexity, and the number of windows being replaced. On average, professional installation can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours per window.
What factors impact the cost of window repair or replacement?
Factors that affect the window repair or replacement cost include window type, size, number, features, installation complexity, and local labor and material costs.
What types of windows are available for installation?
Different types of windows available for installation include single-hung and double-hung windows, casement windows, sliding windows, awning windows, picture windows, bay and bow windows, and specialty windows.
How can I improve the energy efficiency of my windows?
To improve the energy efficiency of windows, you can upgrade to windows with low-E coatings, double or triple glazing, and insulated frames. Other options include weatherstripping, window coverings, and window films or tints to reduce heat transfer and control sunlight.
What steps can I take to maintain my windows and prolong their lifespan?
To maintain windows and prolong their lifespan, regularly clean them to remove dirt and debris, check and repair seals to prevent air and water leaks, lubricate moving parts, and inspect for signs of damage or wear.
