Windows

1. How do I know if it’s time to replace my windows in Denver? Signs include fog or condensation between the panes, drafts, rising energy bills, difficulty opening or closing windows, or fading floors and furniture from UV exposure. Homes in Denver that are 10–25 years old often start showing these issues as original builder-grade windows wear down.

2. Do I need special high-altitude glass for my windows in Denver? Most homes along the Front Range, including Denver, do not require breather or capillary tubes. However, once you get above 7,000–7,500 feet, breather or capillary tubes become necessary to prevent pressure buildup in the insulating glass. Remod ensures every window uses the correct glass package for your exact elevation.

3. What type of windows perform best in Colorado’s temperature swings? High-quality vinyl windows perform exceptionally well in Colorado’s climate. They resist expansion, contraction, and UV exposure, and paired with Low-E glass, they offer reliable energy efficiency and durability for Front Range weather.

4. How long does a typical window replacement take? Most Denver window replacement projects take 1–2 days, depending on the number of windows and ease of access. Larger or specialty windows may take additional time, but most standard installations are completed quickly with minimal disruption.

5. What is the cost to replace windows in the Denver area? Most homeowners in Denver can expect $800–$2,000 per window installed, depending on window size, style, exterior color, energy-efficient glass options, and installation complexity. Every window is custom-sized, so pricing varies by home.

6. Will new windows help reduce my energy bills? Yes. Modern vinyl windows with Low-E coatings and insulated glass keep warm air inside during winter and block solar heat in summer. Many Denver homeowners notice improved comfort and lower heating and cooling costs after upgrading.

7. Can you replace windows in older homes in Denver? Absolutely. Most window replacement projects occur in homes 10 years or older, when original builder-grade windows begin to fail. Every replacement window is custom-measured to your exact opening, ensuring a perfect fit regardless of your home’s age.

8. Do I need HOA approval to replace my windows? Some Denver neighborhoods do require HOA approval, especially if you are changing exterior colors or grid patterns. Most vinyl windows are HOA-friendly, and we can help you navigate the approval process if your community requires it.

9. What kind of warranties come with new replacement windows? Our vinyl windows include strong manufacturer warranties on the frame, glass, hardware, and seals. We also provide the Remod workmanship warranty, giving you peace of mind that both the product and installation are protected.

10. Do new windows increase the value of my home? Yes. High-quality vinyl windows improve curb appeal, reduce energy loss, and enhance overall home comfort—making them one of the highest-ROI home upgrades for Denver homeowners, especially in our climate.
