Energy-Efficient Windows

Common signs include drafts around windows, difficulty opening or closing, condensation between glass panes, visible damage to frames, increased energy bills, and excessive outside noise penetration. Windows that are over 15-20 years old may also be prime candidates for replacement, as newer models offer significantly improved energy efficiency and performance. During our free consultation, we can assess your windows and help you determine if replacement is necessary.

Low-E (low emissivity) glass has a microscopically thin, transparent coating that reflects thermal radiation. This helps keep heat inside your home during winter and outside during summer, while still allowing visible light to pass through. It also blocks harmful UV rays that can fade furnishings and flooring. Low-E glass is a critical component of energy-efficient windows and can significantly reduce your heating and cooling costs while improving comfort.

For most homes, window replacement can be completed in 1-2 days depending on the number of windows being replaced and any unexpected issues that might arise. Our expert installers typically replace 8-10 windows per day. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your home, and most rooms are only exposed to the elements for about 30 minutes during the actual window exchange. We clean up thoroughly after installation, leaving your home better than we found it.

For Missouri's extreme climate, we generally recommend fiberglass or vinyl windows with insulated frames and multiple glass panes. Fiberglass offers superior strength and thermal performance, expanding and contracting at nearly the same rate as glass, which prevents seal failures during temperature fluctuations. Vinyl provides excellent insulation value and requires virtually no maintenance. Wood windows with exterior cladding are also a good option, offering natural insulation with weather protection. During your consultation, we'll help you choose the best material for your specific needs and budget.
