New construction and replacement window installations differ significantly in their installation methods. New construction installations involve removing the existing interior casing and exterior trim, as well as the sashes, tracks, and entire window frame, in order to expose the home's original framing studs. In contrast, replacement window installations are less invasive. They typically require only the removal of the existing sashes and tracks, while the original window frame remains intact.

Yes. In many cases, replacing older windows can reduce energy bills by 20-30%, especially if your current windows are outdated or inefficient. Modern windows are built to meet today's standardized performance requirements, including Low-E glass coatings and argon gas fills, which help minimize heat transfer and improve insulation. In addition, proper installation plays a major role in energy savings. Updated installation practices, such as integrated flashing systems and foam insulation, help eliminate air leaks and drafts, allowing your heating and cooling systems to operate more efficiently. Together, these improvements can lead to noticeable reductions in monthly energy costs, as well as increased comfort year-round.

Yes, replacing your windows can increase your home's value. According to the National Association of Realtors, homeowners who invested in new windows saw a strong return on investment. Realtors reported an average window installation cost of $22,073, with an estimated return of $16,657, approximately a 76% ROI. This estimate is based on installing 10 windows with a 96 UI rating, averaging about $2,207 per window. In addition to financial return, new windows also enhance energy efficiency, curb appeal, and overall comfort, factors that appeal strongly to buyers.

The best window depends on your needs, style preferences, performance expectations, and budget. With nearly 29 years of experience, we've learned that no single window fits every homeowner, but we consistently recommend ProVia and Alside for their quality, performance, and long-term value. Both ProVia Aspect and Alside windows are designed with easy maintenance in mind. Many styles feature tilt-in sashes, allowing you to safely clean both the interior and exterior glass from inside your home. Among those options, the ProVia Aspect Window stands out as our top recommendation. Since 2021, Classic Remodeling has completed 100+ window projects, and 71% of those installations were ProVia Aspect windows, reflecting our customers' trust in its durability, energy efficiency, and overall performance.

This is a great and proactive question. We recommend completing the windows first. Installing new windows before siding allows proper flashing and house wrap to be integrated correctly, ensuring a secure, weather-tight seal that helps prevent leaks and future damage. Once the windows are installed and protected, the new siding can be applied around them to provide full coverage, a clean finish, and long-term protection for your home.

In most cases, yes, window installation can be completed in one day. The process typically begins with precise measurements, followed by ordering your custom windows. Once the windows arrive, installation is performed by certified professionals. For many homes, the entire installation is completed the same day. However, depending on factors such as the number of windows, accessibility, or any unforeseen structural conditions, the project may occasionally require an additional day to ensure proper fit and quality workmanship.

Window costs vary due to selected window products, Low-E argon variations, and accessories like contour grids and glass unit specifications. However, window installations will typically average between $700 and $1,100 per window.

Classic Remodeling offers a variety of products for various needs and specifications. This allows us to offer all ProVia fiberglass and steel products, as well as Alside sliding patio and glass doors. We also utilize ThermaTru, Andersen, and many more for all of our customer needs.

There are several signs that may indicate it's time to replace your door. One of the most common is rotting at the bottom corners of the door or frame, which can compromise structural stability and your home's protection. Another clear indicator is feeling air drafts around the edges of the door, suggesting it's no longer insulating your home effectively.

Age is also an important factor. If you recently purchased your home or aren't sure when the door was installed, check the upper portion of the door frame for a warranty label. If no warranty sticker is present, it may be time to consider a new door.

Most doors will last on average between 15 and 25+ years.

This is a great question. Fiberglass doors are made of reinforced glass fibers bonded through resins and heat to form a polyurethane foam core. These are great for energy efficiency and security. Steel doors, by contrast, are made of a compound that uses iron and carbon. These doors offer high-grade security with standard energy efficiency.

We offer a variety of doors to fit different budgets and preferences, and in most cases, painting is not required. Many doors, such as ProVia doors, come factory-finished with durable paint options backed by a manufacturer's warranty, so they arrive ready to install. For more budget-conscious homeowners, primed doors are also a great option. They allow for customization and a DIY approach while helping keep costs down.

This is a great question. If you are not having any issues with your transom and sidelites, you do not necessarily need to replace them. However, we highly recommend new installation with a new door due to the aesthetic changes to the exterior of your home.

Doors depend heavily on the design, panel configuration, and glass units, if applied. However, door costs range between $1,500 and $6,500+.
