General

General

Do you offer financing?

Yes, we provide various payment plan options to accommodate our customers' financial needs. Ask about the current options when you schedule your free estimate.

What brands do you use?

We install Andersen Windows, Harvey, Therma-Tru and Marvin. Which line is right for your home depends on the architecture, the openings and your budget — we go over it at the estimate.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Window Inserts is fully licensed and insured, with contractor licenses in Putnam County, Westchester County and Connecticut.

What warranties do you provide?

A one-year labor warranty from Window Inserts on the installation, plus the manufacturer's warranty on the windows and doors themselves.

Are your windows energy efficient?

Yes — all of the windows we install are designed to be energy efficient, using insulated glass and low-E coatings. The right glass package for each opening is set at the estimate.

How do I know if I should replace my windows or just repair them?

Repair makes sense when the glass is sound and only a balance, lock or weatherstrip has worn. Replace when the frame is rotted or warped, there is fog or moisture sealed between the panes, the window will not latch, or it is a single-pane or early double-pane unit past its service life. We will tell you which at the free estimate.

Will new windows help with outside noise?

Insulated multi-pane glass reduces sound transmission compared with older single-pane windows, and a tight installation helps. How much difference you notice depends on the noise source and the specific glass package, which we can discuss for the rooms that matter to you.

Can you match new windows to the ones I am keeping?

Usually. We match the sightlines, grille pattern, exterior color and glass as closely as the manufacturer's current options allow, and we keep your project spec on file so later phases match too.

Process & estimates

Process & estimates

Will you install windows that I bought elsewhere?

No. We want to be able to guarantee the warranty on the products we install, which means installing the windows and doors we supply.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes. Request a free estimate through the form on this site or call us. We come to the home, look at every window or door you are considering, and give you honest pricing.

How long does installation take?

Most window or door installations are completed in a day. Larger, multi-window and whole-home projects may run two or more days. We give you a schedule when the products are ordered.

Do you remove the old windows and doors?

Yes. We remove the old products when we install the new ones, and we take the old units and debris with us.

Do you work with condominium and homeowners' associations?

Yes. We are used to working within an association's approved product and appearance guidelines and coordinating with a board or management company on access and scheduling.

What should I expect at the free estimate?

We come to the home at a scheduled time, look at every window or door you are considering, measure, talk through the manufacturer and style options, explain the current savings offer and how it applies, and leave you with honest pricing. There is no obligation.
