no more ugly grid separations I want just the clear glass and no more of those tracks at the bottom that collects moisture and mildew these will be 

flush . I already took off the white shutters, also. Flies just pooped all over them once these windows go in it will be a finished look.

I've took the giant potted plant that used to be on the front porch  because it blocked my front door that is oval glass and the sidelights. Make hubbo

get up and clean the transom window.

New windows are wonderful! We just had ours done a few months ago. We had 26 windows replaced. I thought they were going to have to give my husband and I both CPR when when they came and did the estimate. However, we are so glad we did it. They made a huge difference on our heating bill this winter. Our house is definitely more energy efficient now.

I can't imagine ! I'm not big on windows in a house. I got 2 small ones on the driveway side and none at all on the other side (just a small section of bathroom glass way up high in his bathroom and a big window of block glass that you can't see thru in my master bath on the side facing the neighbor. 

don't have neighbor on other side bought enough land to prevent it LOL

Windows bring in heat and dirt especially in dry Tx and cold air. All mine

is on the front facing the street.

@happycat  We replaced 20 windows about a year and a half ago. We did the 6 basement windows first because they wouldn’t stay closed anymore and we wanted to see how good a job the company did. That took a little more than a half a day. Then we had them replace the remaining upstairs windows. They said it would take a day and a half, but they actually finished in one long day. We had to get out of our house while they worked because they found lead paint in the window frames. DH had to be revived after seeing the estimate, but he agrees it was worth it now.

We replaced 12 windows last fall. It cost us $20,000.  It is so expensive, but another part of home ownership that must be done sooner or later. We also put new siding on our home and a new roof too.....will not go into what THAT cost!😮
