"Jimmy Hines is the contractor from hell. He constantly brags about the quality of his work but his actual work is sup par to say the least. We hired him to do work on our rental property and it was a decision that we regretted shortly after hiring him. He did not start the work when he said he would and he did not notify us. When he did begin the work, he would become very augmentative whenever my husband questioned him about anything. Whenever we disagreed with something he suggested he would become very augmentative. When he finally completed the job, my husband and I met him at the property to do the walk through. My husband was very disappointed with the quality of his work and told him so. At this point he became extremely conformational with my husband trying to fight him and the police had to be called. I do not recommend hiring this contractor for any project. I wish I could give him less than a one star rating. Update: Reply to the service provider's response: Mr. Hines is a liar. We are not drug dealers nor slum lords. Anyone who has owned rental property knows that tenants will tear up your property. We deducted money from the total bill because of the terrible job that he did. We paid him for the work that he did because that was the agreement. We could have withheld his final payment but we are people of integrity unlike him. We had decided not to use him for the rest of the project due to his confrontational and combative nature. You don`t have to believe what we are saying, if you choose to hire him you will be greatly disappointed and that`s putting it mildly. He talks a good game so beware. "

Wooden replacement windows have an impressive lifespan, typically lasting up to 45 years or more with proper maintenance. Regular care, including painting or staining every few years and prompt repairs of any moisture issues, will maximize their durability. Wood windows outlast vinyl alternatives, which need replacement after 20 to 30 years. The specific wood species and local climate conditions also influence longevity, with hardwoods and moderate climates offering the best performance.
Wooden windows generally provide better natural insulation than vinyl windows, though the difference depends largely on the overall window construction. Wood offers superior thermal resistance properties, helping maintain indoor temperatures more effectively. However, modern vinyl windows with quality weatherstripping and multi-pane glass can perform comparably. The most significant energy efficiency factors include proper installation, glass type (double or triple-pane), gas fills between panes, and weatherstripping quality—regardless of frame material.
Wooden windows require regular upkeep to maintain their beauty and functionality. You'll need to inspect them annually for signs of moisture damage, peeling finish, or deteriorating seals. Typically, exterior surfaces need repainting or restaining every three to five years, depending on sun exposure and weather conditions. Interior surfaces generally require less frequent treatment. Additionally, hardware may need occasional lubrication, and weatherstripping should be replaced when showing signs of wear to maintain energy efficiency.
For a standard wooden window installation, professional contractors typically require about two to four hours per window. This timeframe includes removing the existing window, preparing the opening, installing the new unit, and ensuring proper sealing and finishing. Factors that can extend this timeline include discovering hidden structural issues, complex trim work, or challenging access points. For most homes with multiple window replacements, the entire project might span one to three days depending on the number of windows.
Replacing a single wooden window is entirely feasible and makes perfect sense when only one window shows damage or deterioration. However, if multiple windows are aging or showing similar wear patterns, a complete replacement often proves more economical in the long run. Window contractors typically offer better per-unit pricing for multiple installations, and replacing all windows simultaneously ensures consistent appearance, energy performance, and warranty coverage. Consider your budget, the condition of remaining windows, and your long-term plans for the property.
