The choice to replace your windows all at once or in stages is really up to you. But if you’re asking us, there is a clear benefit to getting it all done in one sitting.  Most people who come to us replace about 6-7 windows in their houses at a time. Then once they see what an incredible job we did, they call us back to do the rest. You are always welcome to replace your windows in stages if that works better for you.

But if you want to experience the full benefits of a window replacement immediately, then replacing them all at once is the way to go.
