Q: What is Go Green Financing and what is the REELS Program?

Go Green Financing is a local credit lender that incentivizes building energy-efficient construction projects by offering low payments to home and business owners. As a lender, they’re in charge of financing eco-friendly home improvement projects by partnering with local contractors, and so we’re trying to tell our customers: “Hey, you don’t have $3,000 - $5,000 for new windows? No problem, we’ll set you up with Go Green Financing and they’ll take care of it. You won’t have to pay a dime for up to 24 months and your monthly payments would be as low as $49 a month.” We can offer that because our windows and our products are all eco-friendly, energy-efficient, and they meet the standards of new climate policies in regards to construction. The REELS program is the Residential Energy Efficiency Loan, which is the program that funds Go Green Financing. This program is sponsored by Southern California Edison and it’s a win-win-win. It’s a win for the homeowner because they get new windows without paying a dime up front, it’s a win for us because we get the client, and it’s a win for Go Green, Edison, and the state’s green energy initiative. If you want new windows for your home, I highly, highly recommend using the REELS program and we’ll help you every step of the way.

Q: How much do vinyl windows cost?

It depends on sizing, framing, glass, and your budget. Size will actually be your most important factor. For the average vinyl window, the low-end cost will be about around $650, give or take. You might have some small little bathroom ones, which will be cheaper, but let's say $650 for a single-story house. That’ll get you an XO-sliding window. It might cost more if you have a two-story home, depending on where you want the replacement window located. But $650 - $1,500 is the average pricing. When it comes to doors, that starts at $1,500 and it goes up depending how the factors I mentioned: size, framing, glass, or other accessories like sound or sun-shield packages.

Q: What is the difference between the windows in my home now and replacement windows?

Let’s start with the windows you most likely have now. They’re probably the metal sheet ones or the ones that crank out. You most likely have a one-sided glass and a thin frame with little to no energy protection. I’m not saying that is a bad thing, it’s most likely that you have an old window dating back 20-40 years ago. Those windows are starting to disappear now. If you look at replacement windows that are in the market today - specifically, vinyl replacement windows - it’s all about quality. Aside from the energy benefits, replacement windows will have double-sided glass, durable, high-quality framing, either out of wood, plastic, or metal - up to you - and a ton of features on how you want to close or open your window. The biggest difference between what we offer and the window you have now is, to sum it up: better framing that elevates the beauty of your home, double-sided glass with Low E and Argon Gas that reduces heat, noise, and dust, and it saves you from having to spend on energy bills. All of those features are a game-changer compared to your current windows.

Q: What window styles are available?

s far as style, there’s different choices depending on how you want to access your window. That means if you want it to slide up and down, left to right, if you want to crank it out, if you want it double-hung to keep it open and closed at the same time, or if you want a picture window, which doesn’t allow you to open it at all. So to answer that, we would have to go through each type of window to see what’s the best fit for you.

Q: What is a single-hung window?

A single-hung window is a window that slides to the bottom and can slide back up again. Those usually look the best when you have a window where the width is smaller than the length. It’s a nice, standard window.

Q: What is a double-hung window?

It’s a type of window where you can easily flip them outward and inward. These are most commonly seen in bathrooms and kitchens in order to let more of the smell and air out. A lot of customers love this particular window because it’s fun to flip them up and down.
