"Unprofessional visit. Showed up unannounced and we only knew they were there because one person stood 10 feet from our porch staring at us in through our living room window. My wife spent 10 minutes talking to them, they stated they had no business cards, they only had an appointment card but didn't present it. Honestly when you show up at someone's house you need some sort of identifier if your walking door to door in casual clothes. After the uncomfortable dead stare through the windows my wife and i have decided to post a No Solicitors sign. They didn't take no for an answer at first, pushing with more questions to circumvent the no she gave, as well as interrupted our dinner, as they showed up right at 6pm."

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.
