How often should residential windows be replaced?

Homeowners with windows over 25 years old should consider replacing them, both to gain the best energy efficiencies and to protect the “envelope” of the house.

Start your roofing search in the right places.

How do you find a good roofing contractor? A good place to start is by asking for referrals. Ask friends and family, your local Chamber of Commerce, the Better Business Bureau or Service Magic. State and local licensing authorities, local trade associations, as well as local suppliers of building products are also excellent sources of information.
