Vinyl Windows
The most popular and affordable replacement window. Low-maintenance frames, good insulation, broad availability.
Fiberglass Windows
A mid-to-upper tier frame that is stronger and more dimensionally stable than vinyl, with a paintable surface.
Wood & Wood-Clad Windows
The premium, traditional choice. Best natural insulation and a high-end look, often aluminum- or fiberglass-clad on the exterior.
Aluminum Windows
Slim, strong frames popular for modern and large openings. Inexpensive, but a poor insulator without a thermal break.
Entry & Front Doors
Steel and fiberglass entry doors installed. Decorative glass, sidelights, and transoms push the high end well above the base range.
Patio, Sliding & French Doors
Large glass doors to the yard. Sliding (gliding) doors are most affordable; hinged French and multi-panel doors cost the most.
