Question 1

Why do my windows look foggy inside?

Accepted Answer

Foggy windows are almost always caused by a failed seal between the panes of glass. Once that seal breaks, moisture gets trapped inside and creates that cloudy look you can't wipe away. It's very common over time, especially in Texas with temperature swings. The good news is, if the frame is still in good shape, you can usually fix this by replacing just the glass—not the whole window.

Question 2

Can I replace just the glass instead of the whole window?

Accepted Answer

Yes—and in many cases, that's the smartest move. If the frame is still in good condition, replacing just the insulated glass unit (IGU) saves you 50–70% compared to a full window replacement. You get brand-new glass with fresh Low-E coating and argon gas fill, restoring full clarity and energy efficiency.

Question 3

What's the difference between Low-E glass and clear glass?

Accepted Answer

Low-E glass has a special coating that reflects heat and blocks UV rays, while still letting natural light through. In Texas, this means your home stays cooler in summer without sacrificing brightness. Standard clear glass lets much more heat transfer through, which drives up cooling costs.

Question 4

How much can new windows lower my energy bill?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your current windows, but many homeowners see noticeable savings—often 15–30% on cooling costs. If you have older single-pane or failed double-pane windows, the improvement can be even more dramatic during Texas summers.

Question 5

How long does it take to install new windows?

Accepted Answer

Most window installations take 1–3 days depending on the size of the project. Individual glass-only replacements typically take under an hour per window. For a full home with 10–15 windows, we can usually complete everything in a single day.

Question 6

What warranty do you provide?

Accepted Answer

Every foggy glass replacement comes with our comprehensive 10-year warranty covering both materials and workmanship. If any issue arises with the seal or glass unit within the warranty period, we'll replace it at no charge.

Question 7

How urgent is it to fix a foggy window?

Accepted Answer

It's not an emergency, but it does affect efficiency and appearance. Over time, moisture between the panes can leave mineral deposits that become permanent. Fixing it sooner means better energy efficiency, clearer views, and avoiding further degradation.

Question 8

Do new windows increase resale value?

Accepted Answer

They can improve both value and buyer appeal. Updated windows signal a well-maintained home and can be a selling point, especially if they're energy-efficient. While exact ROI varies, clear, modern windows make a strong impression during showings.

Question 9

Should I replace all my windows at once?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your budget and goals. Replacing all at once is more efficient and ensures consistent appearance, but you can also prioritize the worst ones first. We're happy to help you create a phased plan that fits your budget.

Question 10

What are my options for bathroom window privacy?

Accepted Answer

Frosted, textured, or obscure glass are all great options for bathroom privacy. They let natural light in while blocking the view from outside. We can replace just the glass in your existing bathroom window frame with a privacy option.

Question 11

Can windows be installed in the rain?

Accepted Answer

Light rain is usually manageable with precautions. Heavy storms may require rescheduling for safety and quality reasons. We always prioritize doing the job right over doing it fast.

Question 12

What's the difference between framed and frameless shower glass?

Accepted Answer

Framed shower glass has metal around the edges for support, while frameless uses thicker tempered glass that stands on its own with minimal hardware. Frameless looks more modern and open, while framed is typically more budget-friendly.

Question 13

How do I decide between budget and premium windows?

Accepted Answer

It depends on how long you plan to stay and what you value. Budget options solve the immediate problem (fog, drafts). Premium options (Low-E, argon, impact-resistant) add long-term energy savings and durability. We can help you weigh the trade-offs.
