General Window Installation & Cost FAQs
-
How long does window installation take?
For most home projects, installing windows takes one to three days. This depends on how many windows there are, how easy they are to reach, and the type of installation (retrofit or full-frame).
Larger or more complex projects take more time. This includes custom shapes, multi-story buildings, and commercial installations. They require extra preparation and sealing.
Our dedicated team gives you a clear timeline before we start work. This way, there are no surprises. We also work hard to keep disruptions to your home life as low as possible.

Are your windows energy-efficient?
Yes! All our replacement windows meet or exceed federal Energy Star standards. They are designed for efficiency in the extreme climate of Oklahoma and Texas.
We prioritize thermal performance using advanced technology that ensures maximum savings and comfort year-round.
Key features include:
- Low-E Glass Coatings: Reflect heat and harmful UV rays away from the interior during summer.
- Argon Gas Insulation: Inert gas fill between panes significantly slows heat transfer.
- Multi-Chamber Vinyl Frames: Engineered to create thermal barriers, improving overall temperature control.
- Double or Triple-Pane Construction: Provides superior insulation and noise reduction.
Energy-efficient windows not only dramatically improve indoor comfort but can reduce your heating and cooling bills by 25–30% annually, making them a significant long-term investment. Explore energy-efficient options for your home and find the perfect rating for your climate zone.

Installation Process & Preparation FAQs
-
What’s the difference between retrofit and full-frame installation?
These are the two primary methods we use, chosen based on the condition of your existing window frame and your aesthetic goals.
Retrofit installation (or insert replacement) keeps the existing frame intact and replaces only the sash and glass. It’s faster, less invasive, and ideal for solid, undamaged frames.
Full-frame installation replaces the entire window unit, including the frame, trim, and sill.
This is the best choice for older homes or damaged frames. It's also great when you're upgrading the entire window appearance, as it allows for maximum insulation around the opening.
Our specialists do a complete inspection during your consultation. They will recommend the best and most durable method based on your window's condition and energy needs.
