Window Replacement in Orange County

Licensed New York installers. No obligation for the call.

ENERGY STAR puts Orange County in the Northern zone, so the numbers to look for are a U-factor of 0.22 or lower and solar heat gain 0.17 or higher. Both are printed on the NFRC sticker on the glass, and both are worth writing down before comparing quotes.

The federal lead rule turns on the year the house was built, not on the county — but the age of a county’s housing tells you how often it comes up. A home built before 1978 needs a Lead-Safe certified firm for paid work.

Describing the job costs nothing

Nothing is measured or ordered until you say so. Useful on a first call: how many windows, what type they are, and what is wrong with them.

License: Held by the contractor and issued in New York. Ask which name it is held under — a trading name and the licensed entity are often not the same.
Lead certification: Required by federal rule for paid work on any home built before 1978. It has a number, and the firm should give it without hesitating.
The call: Describing the job commits you to nothing. Nothing is measured or ordered until you say so.
Coverage: By town, not by region. Orange County and the towns around it.
