If the windows in your home are old and damaged and they show all the symptoms of old and damaged windows, from draftiness and fluctuating interior temperatures to condensation and from difficult operation or warping, blistering and cracking frames, the best solution is to get your windows replaced with strong, new windows that will restore your home’s comfort, security and energy-efficiency.

In some cases, the need to replace one window while leaving the others untouched is clear – the window is stuck and does not open at all, the glass is broken, the frame leaks, etc. –, but in other cases, the decision requires more weighing and consideration. Here are the most important pros and cons of replacing all your unit at once.
