You Need New Windows. ASAP.

Ah, home renovation. Not just any home renovation, but an old house, a house with character and style. An old house with old windows. Windows that leak rain and leak air. But, hey, that's character, right?

Enter the Replacement Window

No. Just because you have an old house doesn't mean you need lousy windows. If you're doing a huge, all-encompassing renovation--the kind where walls get taken down and siding removed--you'll probably be getting new-construction windows. Anything less than this and you'll be getting replacement windows.

For replacement windows, you'll most likely be having a window company install for you rather than doing it yourself.

So what about wood windows?
