Replacement Windows: Process Explained
In this video, Paul walks us through what IS and IS NOT changed when you choose a replacement window for your improvement project. There are several ways to replace an existing window; choosing a replacement window product is usually the quickest and most cost effective way to go.
We like to give you choices.
When it comes to remodeling your home, the amount of choices you may face can feel overwhelming. There are many salespeople out there who will be happy to offer you an extremely limited set if options to ‘make it easier’ for you.
We feel that you should have as many options as is reasonable to choose from for your project. We also believe that it is our job to give you knowledgable advice to help you decide what you want for your home.
Replacement Windows: Pros (and one con)
When you choose a replacement window, as opposed to a full-frame remodel of your window, you are getting many benefits. There is one potential down side that people sometimes don’t think about, and Paul wants to explain it to you here.
Partial Siding Replacement
It’s not always necessary to replace ALL the siding on your house at once! Sometimes tackling one or two sides of your home can be enough.
ProVia® windows: why 12 Penny loves them
With so many windows out there to choose from, how do you decide? 12 Penny Exteriors has partnered with Window Depot USA to bring you one of the best vinyl windows on the market today: ProVia®. In this video Paul explains all the reasons why ProVia® is his top choice for a vinyl replacement window.
Flex Screen Technology
Flex screen technology is a great feature of today’s newer windows. Paul from 12 Penny Exteriors shows off how easy they are to install, remove, and blend into your modern window color options.
How do I know if I need new siding?
The siding on a house is like its skin – it not only looks good, but it protects the important structures underneath. When it starts to fail due to exposure to sun, rain, and fluctuation in temperatures, it may be time for replacement. Paul identifies some problems to look for on a house that’s due for new siding.
Spot the Rot
Sometimes the extent of damage to the exterior of your home can be hiding in plain sight – as was the case with this door frame. Snakes not pictured!!
Triple Pane vs Double Pane Technology
12 Penny’s founder Paul guides us through the benefits of triple pane vs double pane windows. Energy efficiency is a major advantage, especially here in our New England climate. Sound insulation as well as condensation reduction are other benefits. 12 Penny can often upgrade double pane window products to triple pane at no extra cost when doing a replacement project in a home.
