FAQ
Planning new windows
What's the difference between window replacement and new installation?
Replacement swaps out existing windows. New installation adds windows in new openings, such as in an addition or a new build.
Which window style is right for me?
It depends on the room, how you want the window to open, and the look you prefer. An installer can recommend options for each opening.
What's full-frame vs. insert replacement?
Full-frame replacement removes the whole window down to the rough opening. Insert replacement fits a new window into the existing frame. Ask your installer which approach fits your home.
Is WindowCenter free to use?
Yes. There's no charge to submit a request and no obligation to hire anyone.
Who will contact me?
Installers or partners who serve your area may contact you by phone, text, or email, as described in the consent on our form.
