It only makes sense that you would not want to have your existing windows removed when the weather is rainy, snowy, freezing or damp. You can be sure your contractor watches the weather reports and will work around the forecasts. This can mean a comfortable removal and installation of a few days instead of:

• The possibility of living in a freezing home due to leaky windows, and losing all your valuable heating
• Losing all your expensive A/C in oppressive heat
• Waiting for the few unusual days when the winter or summer weather is cooperative

The spring also can be extremely unpredictable with much rain and frequent high ...
... winds. The stable period of September and October is the ideal time to replace your windows and be ready to save money though the other seasons.

Replacement windows can add value to your home, save you a lot of money on both heating and cooling, add security, and make your home look updated and aesthetically appealing. Energy efficient windows are available in wood, vinyl and metal and in every style. A one to one window replacement during the right season can be performed by a quality home improvement contractor who specializes in those upgrades within a day or two. Custom window installation requiring building alterations may take a few days longer.

Window replacements are now made with energy-efficiency in mind, such as double and even triple pane thickness and specially rated glass. In the Cleveland area, the emphasis is on E rated glass that allows for solar heating in the winter and heat retention. In the South the opposite would be the consideration. These E rated windows are available in many different styles including:

• Bay and bow: These add a focal point to the inside and outside and can greatly increase the curb appeal of a home.
• Double hung: Traditional windows for a traditional home, these are no longer the drafty wood windows that rattled on windy days.
• Picture: These are striking from both sides and not only offer panoramic views but if placed correctly, they can add solar heating qualities in the winter.
• Casement and sliding: Very airtight and easy to clean from the inside. A great choice for the contemporary home.

Regardless of which type of window replacement you choose, selecting the right contractor and scheduling the work weeks or months ahead of time is paramount to a timely, seasonal installation. Choose a local contractor who is familiar with the regional weather and can provide many local references.

Websites like Angie’s List and the Better Business Bureau should also be checked. Once you have found a good contractor who specializes in replacing windows, its staff can be very helpful in selecting the windows that are best for your home.
