Watch for drafts, fogging between the glass panes, doors and windows that stick or won't lock properly, rising energy bills, and visible rot or warping.

Our free in-home consultation will give you a clear, honest answer.

Lower utility bills, a more comfortable home, and less fading on your floors and furniture. Our Legacy Defense 5XP glass is engineered to block solar heat gain and seal out air and humidity leaks that older windows let right through — the kind of hidden cost that adds up every single month you wait.

The installation timeline depends on various factors, such as the number of windows and doors being replaced, the complexity of the project, and weather conditions. On average, a full-home replacement may take one to three days. Our team ensures a smooth, efficient installation process while maintaining high-quality workmanship.

Yes — significantly. Standard glass offers little resistance to forced entry, but our Legacy Defense 5XP package is tested and rated against it: a tempered outer lite that's harder to breach, and a laminated inner lite that resists cutting or tearing through even if the outer lite fails.
