"The owner, Mario was incredible. We had a nightmare experience resulting in firing the first contractor leaving us in a torn apart house. Mario and his crew came in to correct all the things done wrong, then going on to finish beyond our expectations and under budget. The house was built in 1920 so everything they opened up had a problem but Mario would immediately let us know and present the options to keep moving forward. They worked on every floor of our house always taking care to be clean and respectful of our belongings that had to be worked around because we were still living in the house while they worked. I never felt like we didn’t know what was going on with the contractor, what was next or uninformed in any way. Efficient, on time, and on budget. I can not rate this company highly enough, they took a hundred year old house that had been butchered by another company and gave my family an open concept beautiful home. ROI was double what we spent. "

"Never never buy from these thieves! We bought 8 windows to be replaced on the 12th of March 2025. The 17th of May they came to install. They didn't replace our windows. They inserted smaller windows into the old window frames(less light in the house). So now we have old cracked visible window frames. Silicone seals were not replaced. And the double hung windows can only open a third of the height, not half way up."

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.
