No more cranking the heat because cold air pours through loose window frames. No more struggling with windows painted shut since the Clinton administration. No more wiping condensation off glass or watching your sills rot from moisture infiltration.
Your thermostat works like it should. Set it to 72, and your house stays 72 without your HVAC system running constantly to compensate for air leaks.
Most Glen Cove homes were built when energy efficiency wasn’t even a consideration. Those single-pane windows might have character, but they’re costing you real money every month. Modern double-glazed windows designed for our climate make an immediate difference you’ll feel and see on your next utility bill.
Twenty-two years installing windows in Nassau and Suffolk County homes means we’ve seen every problem these 1950s and 60s houses develop. Settled foundations that throw window frames out of square. Original wood sills that look solid until you touch them. Aluminum storms that haven’t been removed since Bush was president.
We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured because window installation involves structural work. When we cut into your home’s envelope, experience matters more than low prices.
Glen Cove’s mature housing stock requires contractors who understand what we’re getting into before we start cutting. We know which shortcuts create problems and which details actually matter for long-term performance.
We measure every opening twice because Glen Cove’s older homes rarely have standard dimensions. Foundation settling and decades of modifications mean assuming sizes is a recipe for problems.
Old windows come out carefully. We inspect every sill, jamb, and header for issues that need addressing before new windows go in. Rotted wood gets replaced, not just covered up. Structural problems get fixed properly.
New windows get installed with modern flashing techniques and weatherproofing designed for Long Island’s weather patterns. We test operation, check sealing, and clean up completely before we consider any job finished. You get a final walkthrough where we explain care and maintenance for your specific window type.

Every installation includes precise measurement, complete removal of old windows, and thorough structural inspection. Any necessary frame repairs, sill replacement, or structural work gets handled as part of the project, not as expensive add-ons.
You get Energy Star certified windows specifically rated for our climate zone. These aren’t generic windows that work “okay” everywhere—they’re designed for Glen Cove’s winter lows and summer humidity while maximizing your energy savings.
We coordinate with Glen Cove’s building department when permits are required. Most replacements don’t need permits, but when they do, we handle applications and inspections so you don’t spend your day at City Hall.
Quality window installation in Glen Cove typically runs $250 to $1,200 per window, with most homeowners investing around $600 per window for professional installation. Final costs depend on window size, energy efficiency features, and any structural repairs we discover.
Energy-efficient windows cost more initially but save Glen Cove homeowners an average of $283 yearly on utility bills. Over 20 years, those energy savings typically exceed the upgrade cost, making efficient windows a smart investment rather than just an expense.
We provide detailed written estimates breaking down materials and labor so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. No hidden fees or surprise charges when the job’s done.
Spring and fall offer ideal conditions for window installation in Glen Cove. Moderate temperatures make the work more manageable and reduce the impact on your home’s comfort during installation.
We install windows year-round, but extreme weather creates challenges. Winter installations require working quickly to minimize heat loss, and we may use temporary coverings between removal and installation of each window.
Weather delays happen occasionally. We monitor forecasts closely and will reschedule rather than compromise installation quality due to poor conditions.
Standard window replacements in Glen Cove typically don’t require permits when you’re replacing existing windows with similar sizes and styles. Enlarging openings, changing window types significantly, or structural modifications usually do require permits.
We handle permit applications and coordinate inspections when necessary. Glen Cove’s building department is straightforward to work with, and we maintain good working relationships with local inspectors.
For homes built before 1978, we follow EPA lead-safe work practices regardless of permit requirements. This protects your family from lead dust hazards and ensures compliance with federal safety regulations.
Most Glen Cove single-family homes take 1-2 days for complete window replacement, depending on the number of windows and any structural issues we encounter. We typically install 8-12 windows per day under normal conditions.
Older Glen Cove homes sometimes present challenges like non-standard sizing, settled frames, or hidden structural problems that extend the timeline. We inspect thoroughly during our estimate to identify potential complications upfront.
We work efficiently but never sacrifice quality for speed. Each window gets proper sealing, flashing, and operation testing before we move to the next one. Your home stays secure and weather-tight throughout the entire process.
Double-hung windows work well in most Glen Cove homes from the 1950s and 60s because they maintain the original architectural character while providing modern energy efficiency. Casement windows offer superior ventilation and sealing but may not suit every home’s aesthetic.
For Glen Cove’s climate, we recommend double-glazed windows with low-E coatings and argon gas fills. These features dramatically improve insulation compared to original single-pane windows while preserving your home’s character.
Wood frames offer authentic appearance but require ongoing maintenance. Vinyl provides excellent energy performance with minimal upkeep, making it popular with homeowners who want efficiency without constant maintenance demands.
Energy-efficient windows typically save Glen Cove homeowners around $283 annually on utility costs. Old, drafty windows can account for 25-30% of your home’s heating and cooling expenses, so replacing them creates immediate, measurable savings.
The Department of Energy confirms that drafty windows can reduce your home’s energy efficiency by up to 30%. In Glen Cove’s climate, with winter lows around 46 degrees and humid summers, proper window insulation makes a substantial difference in both comfort and costs.
Most homeowners see lower utility bills within their first month after installation. Over 15-20 years, the energy savings often exceed the initial window investment, making replacement windows a profitable upgrade for most Glen Cove homes.
