The first thing that needs to happen is a complete evaluation of the current problems that you, the homeowner, are trying to solve with your new replacement windows. Are you trying to eliminate drafts or leaks? Do you want to reduce your energy bills? Are you looking for a simple cosmetic replacement? Etc.
It is important that you and the company that you hire to replace your windows are both on the same page as to what you want to accomplish with your new replacement windows.

Now that you and the company that you are considering for your replacement windows have a complete understanding of exactly what needs to be accomplished, you can start discussing options.
It is imperative to understand that there really isn’t a “best window.” The reason for this is that all reputable window manufacturers have a long-standing record of quality production. They all have warranties on their product. And they all have windows certified through AAMA (American Architectural Manufacturers Association— the original third-party window performance program that has provided manufacturers with the means to independently demonstrate product performance to their customers). A window that has AAMA certification will perform as stated.

However, a critical component to consider is the proper installation of the windows. The most expensive window in the market place, if not installed properly, will fail prematurely.
