Leave Your Historic Window Replacement to the Professionals

Replacing historic windows presents a unique set of challenges from typical residential replacement windows.

Unlike residential buildings, there is a certain level of accuracy required for historical buildings, especially when replacing parts of the exterior façade. Ideal replacement windows should be accurate down to the original materials used. But sometimes this isn’t possible; maybe the original wood used on the frames are now listed as endangered; or maybe the original material is not suitable for everyday use, like window glass with lead-based glazing.

In any case, it’s important to leave the work to a professional windows company in Marietta, GA, like Renewal by Andersen® of Atlanta. Here are some great reasons to do that:

Custom-Size Windows

One sign of a non-professional window manufacturer is that they sell windows in specific sizes, which are likely manufactured in bulk. Aside from the questionable quality, buying these kinds of windows mean you have to make adjustments to the wall opening — a practice discouraged by restorationists.

You need to hire a Marietta windows contractor that manufactures custom-size windows, with professional installers to install them correctly — something of a specialty with our Certified Master Installers at Renewal by Andersen®.

Cost-Effective Installation

Let’s say you were able to save on upfront costs by hiring a non-professional window installer. There’s a good chance that problems won’t become apparent until after the first six months: weak weatherstripping, improperly-installed seals, frames warping after exposure to cold weather – all likely without warranty coverage. You’d likely end up hiring repairmen to fix the damage, doubling the total cost.

Entrusting your replacement windows in Marietta, GA, to professionals from the beginning prevents these problems, and you even get the benefit of reliable, quality windows with warranty coverage. At Renewal by Andersen, we are confident of our replacement windows that they come with written limited warranty that covers both materials and workmanship.

Energy Efficiency

Modern windows have the advantage of being made with energy-efficient materials. With modern conveniences like composite materials and glass with low emissivity (Low-E) coatings — such as our own Fibrex® material and High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass — you can enjoy energy savings and indoor comfort not otherwise available with modern materials. Windows made with these materials require meticulous installation methods; something that just can’t be done unless you’re a certified window installer.
