You know that feeling when you walk past certain windows in winter and get hit with a cold draft? Or when your AC runs constantly in summer but rooms still feel stuffy? That ends with properly installed, energy-efficient windows.
New windows mean consistent temperatures throughout your home. No more cold spots near windows in January. No more cranking the thermostat because heat escapes through old, leaky frames. Your HVAC system works less, your bills drop, and every room feels comfortable.
The difference shows up immediately. Homeowners typically see lower energy bills within the first month. Plus, you’ll actually want to open your windows again when they operate smoothly and lock securely.
We’ve been serving Wantagh homeowners for over 24 years, since before energy efficiency was trendy. We’ve seen every type of window problem Long Island homes face—from salt air damage near the coast to foundation settling that throws frames out of square.
What sets us apart is straightforward: we show up when scheduled, install windows that perform as promised, and stand behind our work. No surprise charges, no cutting corners on installation details that matter. Our reputation in Wantagh speaks for itself—neighbors recommend us because the work holds up year after year.
We understand Wantagh’s mix of home styles, from the classic Cape Cods near Wantagh Park to the raised ranches throughout the community. Each installation accounts for your home’s specific needs and your family’s daily routines.
Our process starts with an honest assessment of your current windows. We’ll identify which issues can be repaired versus which windows need full replacement. You’ll get a clear explanation of what work is needed and why.
Measurement comes next, with precise attention to each window opening. Old homes in Wantagh often have settling or slight variations between windows that look identical. Getting measurements right prevents installation problems later.
Installation day involves careful removal of old windows, proper preparation of openings, and professional installation of your new windows. We protect your home’s interior, clean up thoroughly, and test every window’s operation before considering the job complete. You’ll know exactly how to operate and maintain your new windows for maximum lifespan.

Professional window installation means more than just swapping old windows for new ones. It includes proper flashing, insulation, and sealing that prevent air leaks and water infiltration. These details determine whether your windows perform as designed or become problem areas.
In Wantagh’s climate, windows face salt air, nor’easters, and significant temperature swings. Quality installation accounts for these conditions with appropriate materials and techniques. You get windows that operate smoothly in humid summers and seal tight during winter storms.
Our installation includes disposal of old windows, cleanup of work areas, and a walkthrough to ensure everything operates correctly. You’ll receive warranty information and maintenance guidelines specific to your new windows. Most importantly, you get windows installed by professionals who understand Long Island’s unique environmental challenges.
Window installation costs in Wantagh typically range from $400 to $1,200 per window, depending on size, style, and features. Energy-efficient double or triple-pane windows cost more upfront but often pay for themselves through energy savings within 7-10 years.
The total project cost depends on how many windows you’re replacing and whether you need full-frame replacement or insert installation. Full-frame replacement costs more but addresses underlying issues like rotted sills or poor insulation around the opening.
Most Wantagh homeowners find that replacing all windows at once provides better value than piecemeal replacement, plus you can take advantage of federal tax credits up to $600 for Energy Star qualified windows.
Double or triple-pane vinyl windows with Low-E glass perform best in Wantagh’s coastal climate. The multiple panes provide insulation against temperature extremes, while Low-E coating reflects heat in summer and retains warmth in winter.
Vinyl frames resist salt air corrosion better than wood and require minimal maintenance. Look for windows with argon gas fills between panes for additional insulation. These features help your windows handle everything from summer humidity to winter storms.
Energy Star certification ensures windows meet strict performance standards for Long Island’s northern climate zone. Properly rated windows maintain U-values of 0.27 or lower, which translates to better comfort and lower energy bills year-round.
Most single-family homes in Wantagh can have all windows replaced in 1-3 days, depending on the number of windows and complexity of the installation. Simple insert replacements go faster than full-frame installations that require more preparation work.
Weather can affect scheduling, especially during Wantagh’s winter months. We plan around forecast conditions to ensure proper installation and curing of sealants. We’ll reschedule rather than compromise installation quality due to rain or extreme temperatures.
Each window typically takes 30-60 minutes to install properly, including removal of the old window, preparation of the opening, installation, insulation, and final adjustments. We work efficiently while maintaining attention to installation details that affect long-term performance.
Most window replacements in Wantagh don’t require permits when you’re replacing existing windows with similar-sized units. However, enlarging window openings, changing from windows to doors, or structural modifications typically require permits from the Town of Hempstead.
We handle permit requirements and ensure installations meet local building codes. We understand Wantagh’s specific requirements and inspection processes, which saves you time and potential complications.
If permits are needed, the process usually adds 1-2 weeks to project scheduling while applications are processed. We’ll advise you upfront if permits are required for your specific project and handle the paperwork accordingly.
Replace windows when you notice condensation between glass panes, difficulty opening or closing windows, or visible frame damage like rot or warping. These issues typically can’t be fixed effectively and indicate the window has reached the end of its useful life.
Energy performance is another key factor. If your windows are single-pane or over 15-20 years old, replacement usually makes more financial sense than repairs. New energy-efficient windows can reduce your heating and cooling costs by 15-25% annually.
Consider replacement when repair costs approach 50% of new window costs. In Wantagh’s climate, investing in quality replacement windows provides better long-term value than repeatedly repairing failing windows that will continue having problems.
Quality window installations in Wantagh typically include manufacturer warranties on the windows themselves (often 10-20 years or lifetime on frames and glass) plus installation warranties from us covering labor and proper installation.
Manufacturer warranties cover defects in materials and workmanship, including glass seal failure, frame warping, and hardware malfunctions. Our installation warranties typically cover issues related to proper fitting, sealing, and operation for 1-5 years after installation.
Keep warranty documentation and understand what’s covered versus normal wear items like weatherstripping. We stand behind our installation work and will address any issues that arise from improper installation during the warranty period.
