Common questions

Are fiberglass windows worth it?

If you want maximum strength, stability and lifespan, yes — and it can be painted.

Is fiberglass more efficient than vinyl?

Both are efficient with Low-E glass; fiberglass holds its shape better over time, keeping seals tight longer. When you compare, look at the ENERGY STAR rating and the NFRC label.

How much do fiberglass windows cost?

Fiberglass sits between vinyl and wood on price. We give a free written in-home estimate. There is financing if you would rather spread it out.
