Even the highest-quality windows can underperform when improperly installed. According to the Window & Door Manufacturers Association, proper installation is critical to ensuring energy efficiency, weather resistance, and long-term performance.
Professional installation should include these critical elements:
Pre-installation water management: Integration with existing house wrap and flashing
Proper frame anchoring: Techniques appropriate for your wall construction
Quality insulation: Filling gaps between window and wall
Exterior sealing: Weather-resistant sealants compatible with Ohio's climate
According to ENERGY STAR®, replacing single-pane windows with ENERGY STAR certified windows can save homeowners between $101-$583 per year on energy costs, depending on:
Your home's size and number of windows
The condition of your existing windows
The energy efficiency ratings of your new windows
According to the 2023 Cost vs. Value Report by Remodeling Magazine:
Vinyl window replacement projects typically recoup about 69% of their cost at resale
Window replacement is consistently one of the home improvement projects with the best return on investment
At Integrity Home Exteriors, we prioritize quality at every step. We exclusively use virgin vinyl windows, not the recycled vinyl often found in standard replacement windows. This distinction is crucial:
Superior Durability: Virgin vinyl windows contain no recycled materials that can compromise structural integrity, resulting in frames that resist warping and fading for decades
Enhanced Performance: The purer composition creates more precise manufacturing tolerances, allowing for better seals and improved energy efficiency
Consistent Quality: Virgin vinyl maintains consistent color throughout the material, preventing discoloration when scratched or weathered
Longer Lifespan: These premium windows typically last 5-10 years longer than windows made with recycled vinyl
Our installation process further ensures your premium windows perform as designed:
Protecting your home during replacement
Careful removal of existing windows
Proper sealing and insulation techniques
Thorough cleanup after installation
