If you’re thinking about replacing old windows, now is the time to explore how a window upgrade can make all the difference.

Why Replace the Windows in an Old House?

Many older homes still have original windows that, while beautiful, may be underperforming in today’s energy-conscious world. Old house window replacement isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s an investment in comfort, safety, and efficiency. Here are the most common issues that prompt homeowners to consider replacing windows in an old house:

Drafts and Air Leaks: Gaps and worn seals in outdated windows can let in cold air during the winter and heat in the summer, raising your utility bills.
Single-Pane Glass: Many older homes still have single-pane windows that offer poor insulation and little noise reduction.
Rotting or Warped Frames: Over time, wooden frames can suffer from moisture damage, compromising both performance and appearance.
Sticky Operation: If your windows are difficult to open or close, it may be due to age-related warping or outdated mechanisms.
Fading and UV Damage: Older glass offers minimal protection from UV rays, which can fade furniture and floors.

Replacing your outdated windows with modern, energy-efficient options not only solves these issues but also provides additional benefits.

Benefits of Replacing Old Windows

Choosing replacement windows for old homes is about more than fixing problems—it’s about enhancing your living space. Here are the top benefits of replacing old windows:

Improved Energy Efficiency: Save money on energy bills with double- or triple-pane glass and advanced insulating technology.
Enhanced Curb Appeal: New windows can complement your home’s architectural style while increasing its value.
Reduced Noise: Modern windows dramatically reduce outside noise, creating a more peaceful interior.
Increased Security: New locking systems and stronger glass offer better protection for your home and family.
Low Maintenance: Today’s materials are built to last and require minimal upkeep.

Greg and team at Windella are awesome! Greg is extremely helpful in explaining options and talking through the process, transparent on pricing, and delivered and installed windows and doors right on time. Would recommend Greg and his team to anyone looking for new windows and doors.

Matt P.

We had an all around great experience with Windella. Greg helped us find the right window option for our whole house replacement and was super helpful throughout the process. The installation team was excellent and our old house was treated with expert care and craftsmanship. Everything was smooth sailing from start to finish. We couldn’t be happier!

Sara K.

I couldn’t be happier with the work. I had all the windows in my house replaced by Greg and his guys. The entire process was low stress and the price was great. The installers did some of the cleanest work I have ever seen. Greg was a professional from beginning to end. I’d highly recommend him for any window and door work.

Joseph O.

Huge thank you to Greg and his team! They replaced 22 windows and the front door. I cannot recommend them enough! We placed our order in mid January, and I am so pleased that on March 9th, the job is complete. Greg was wonderful and easy to work with. The installation team was top notch. They worked quickly but diligently and neatly.

Mary-Ellen G.

I highly recommend Greg and Windella. They completed a job for a very large picture window ahead of schedule, on budget, were easy to work with, kept everything clean, and I love the result! After my fantastic initial experience I went on to have Greg and Windella add two additional large modern windows. Again, the job was done earlier than expected and on budget. They delivered high quality results.

Jonathan H.

Greg and his team replaced our old back kitchen doors with a new Pella slider that looks fantastic. He was easy to work with and knowledgeable when walking through our options. His installation team was very professional, diligent and added additional touches on the interior to match our surrounding features. I would absolutely recommend his services.

Ryan M.

Thank you Greg for quick, courteous, excellent service. Greg came to fix an older sliding door which Pella was no longer willing to service. Door is now like brand new. Thank you for your willingness to show up for a small job. We'll be sure to remember you when it's time to replace and we are happy to recommend you.
