When Should I Replace My Windows?

Posted by admin on

It can be a bit difficult to gauge when you need to replace your windows, but there are some reasons why you should consider this. While the look of a home is a great reason for having specific windows, curb appeal is not the only factor, but a compliment to functionality and effectiveness. Here are some of the reasons that you should replace your windows.

Damage

In some cases of damage, replacing a window is the smarter route to go. If there is a minor problem, it can typically be fixed easily, but if there are major damages, it is important to fix. While much damage can most likely be fixed, it is not always recommended to repair, as it can be a wasted project, or can be a bit dangerous.

On a separate note, storm damage, as well as very old windows, should be replaced as soon as possible. On a home that is considered a historic building, it can be very beneficial to get new windows, as you could be losing energy, as well as curb appeal, due to dated windows. Especially in the case of wanting to sell your home, it is important to boost that home value regarding windows.

Energy

In regard to energy, drafty windows can allow for 10-25% higher costs than new windows. This means that installing new windows can help to reduce the costs of living in your home by an immense amount.

Aesthetic

The addition of new windows to a home can really transform the look of any home. While the aesthetic can be nice, this also brings along some new benefits, as the light can be of better quality. Increased sunlight can have a lot of health benefits, especially related to the emotional well-being of any person.

Window Transformation In New England

Posted by admin on

Our team recently finished up an amazing window transformation of a home in New England. The contractors on the project truly specialized in installing these gorgeous bay windows to the exterior/interior of the home. They installed one style of window, which was the Harvey Building Products Bay window. This was created with the utmost of craftsmanship, as well as the highest quality of products. Harvey Building Products has an amazing track record, as they have been selling replacement windows, alongside other elements of a home, such as doors, since 1960. We entrusted this brand of windows for many reasons. While they serve both homeowners, and contractors, such as ourselves, they provide a consistency that is hard to beat. With over 50 years of experience, Harvey BP was the perfect person for the job, and they really did the incredible job that we had expected.

From the exterior of the home, bay windows really give an additional curb appeal unlike any other. While a bay window does look fantastic, these specific windows will have results that last a very long time. Because Harvey Building Products started on the East Coast, their products are built to withstand all elements. This is the perfect product to use in New England, as there are harsh winters and hot/humid summers. This makes for the perfectly comfortable, secure and energy efficient window. While a window is supposed to keep out the cold in the winter and keep the cold in, in the summer, these windows help by creating a true barrier between your home and the outside. This can help to cut down on many costs, including heat, AC and energy.

We had multiple quotes done, and Three Sons was by far and away most competitive. They were communicative and flexible in scheduling, arrived on time, did all the work in one day, cleaned up after themselves, and left everything looking pretty much like they’d never been there. The installers were friendly and professional. We’re extremely pleased with the quality of the windows, and of the work. We have a few more windows to replace in the future, and Three Sons will be getting the call when we’re ready to pull the trigger on the work.

 

In a word, excellent.

 We are first time home buyers and bought a fixer-upper in Concord MA. We had lots of projects that had to all be timed correctly using many different contractors. Paul (owner) sat us down and went through everything we needed to do and instead of pressure us to GC the whole thing himself, he said he’d walk us through it and help. The result was a project that came in on time and on budget. Paul and his sons were very responsive to all our requests and even made suggestions for helping in other areas without letting costs go out of control. My wife and I felt particularly good with how other tradesmen commented on Three Son’s work. We had 4 separate tradesmen comment on how well the work was done and the quality of the materials being used. We have hopes of putting an addition on our house one day, and Paul will be our first call. It was very clear from our experience that he works to build life-long relationships for repeat business. Highly recommended!
