The home had the original builder grade windows and wood exterior that was not only drafty but required on going maintenance. After New Windows & Vinyl SidingThey wanted to change the exterior look of the house and increase its energy efficiency. Dale put together a solution that not only solved their problems but it also fit their budget.

Bill and Linda love the new look of the house and say the new windows are like putting on a new pair of glasses!

Why Replace Your Windows?

Vinyl Replacement Windows from Home Town RestylingThere are signs to look for when it’s time to replace your old windows. Older windows allow water damage to seep inside especially those in cooler climates such as Iowa where a glaze or ice may form inside the window or in between a double pane. If water can leak inside your house consider the creepy crawlers from the outside finding their way in between the crevices of your window frames.

Depending on the moisture outside the window frame could chip, rot and deteriorate which will lead to an increase in your energy bill. Also if the frame shows significant wear and you are unable to open and shut the window properly you can place your family at risk if there’s a fire or flood. Once a window weakens then outside noise can then become an issue as well as drafts seeping in through closed windows, which will also increase heating and cooling cost.

Home Town Restyling can replace your windows with long lasting high quality vinyl windows and frames. Why choose vinyl over wood? For several reasons as wood rots, shrinks, warps and swells.
