Window Safety

Did you ever stop to think that windows are far more than sources of light and air? They can be killers or lifesavers. The National Safety Council says that, “Fires and falls of all kinds are among the leading causes of injury and death in young children. While some falls occur from windows, it is important to realize that in the event of a fire, a window can also save a child's life. This is why windows play a critical role in home safety.”

Window Replacement

Window replacements are among the most common home remodeling projects and can help save on winter heating bills. According to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), window replacements total 44% of all remodeling jobs. If you are a proficient handyman, window replacement is a task that does not necessarily require a contractor. Replacing an old window is something a Do It Yourself homeowner can tackle with some basic carpenter’s knowledge and a few basic carpentry tools that you probably already own. If your old wooden window is drafty, does not open or close well, or is showing signs of water damage and decay, it is probably time to think about replacing it with a state-of-the-art, Low-E glass, new vinyl clad window.
