Out with the old and in with the new! Loughlin & Son Roofing’s window replacement and installation services boost your home’s aesthetic appeal and functionality. Whether you’re looking to replace outdated windows or install new ones, we offer a wide variety of options to suit your home’s unique needs.

Not sure if it’s time to replace your windows? Here are some key indicators:

Drafts and Air Leaks: Feeling a breeze even when windows are closed is a sign of poor sealing or insulation.

High Energy Bills: Outdated windows can let heat escape in winter and cool air leak in summer, leading to higher utility costs.

Condensation Between Panes: Foggy windows or condensation trapped between glass panes suggest a failure in the window seal.

Difficulty Opening, Closing, or Locking: Warped or damaged frames can make windows hard to operate.

Visible Damage: Cracks, chips, or rotting frames not only look unappealing but compromise your home’s security and efficiency.

Noise Pollution: Excess outside noise indicates poor insulation, often fixed with modern, energy-efficient designs.

When choosing window styles, the options vary widely, each with its own advantages and drawbacks. Here’s an overview of some of the most popular options:

Single-Hung Windows

Single-hung windows have two glass panels stacked on top of each other. The top pane is fixed, while the bottom can slide up and down to be opened.

• Cost-Effective
• Energy Efficient – Fewer moving parts can mean less air leakage.
• Lower Maintenance – Simple design reduces the chances of mechanical issues.

Double-Hung Windows

Double-hung windows look similar to single-hung windows, but instead of only the bottom part being moveable, both sashes can be opened.

• Versatile Ventilation
• Ease of Cleaning
• Noise Reduction

Casement Windows

One of the most popular window types in the U.S., casement windows are hinged at the side, and swing outward and swing outward to open, similar to a door.

• Excellent Ventilation
• Energy Efficiency
• Clear Views

Sliding Windows

Sliding windows feature two sashes that can be opened by sliding them from side to side.

• Ease of Use: Simple sliding mechanism.
• Wide Views: Provide an unobstructed view of the outside.
• Durability

Awning Windows

Awning windows tilt outward from the top to open, creating an awning.

• Weather Resistance: Since these windows open outward, they create a shield against rain.
• Energy Efficiency: Seals tightly when closed.
• Ventilation

Picture Windows

Like a picture frame, picture windows have frames and large glass areas that provide unobstructed views. These types of windows do not open and are typically not used in small rooms.

• Maximized Views: Large panes provide great views.
• Energy Efficiency: Fixed panes reduce air leakage.
• Low Maintenance: No moving parts to maintain.

Bay and Bow Windows

Extending outwards beyond the walls of the structure, bay and bow windows usually consist of three window panels, and can be used to create extra space in the home.

• Aesthetic Appeal: Adds architectural interest and increases natural light.
• Extra Space: Creates a nook or shelf area.
• Wide Views: Multiple angles provide expansive views.

Skylights

Skylights are windows installed in a roof or ceiling, creating abundant natural light.

• Natural Light: Brightens interiors without taking up wall space.
• Energy Savings: Reduces reliance on artificial lighting.

Hopper Windows

Similar to awning windows, Hopper Windows have hinges on either the top or the bottom, and they can open inward. They are commonly found in basements and on top of walls near where the ceiling meets the wall.

• Space-Saving
• Ventilation

Custom Windows

Custom windows can be built out to a variety of shapes and sizes. Popular choices include round or semicircle-shaped windows, which can complement the unique architecture of a home.

• Tailored Aesthetic
• Unique Features
