Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to replace all my windows at once?
No. While doing the whole house ensures consistent aesthetics and immediate energy savings, many homeowners choose to do “phases” (e.g., front of house first) to manage budget.
How long does installation take?
A typical whole-home replacement (10-15 windows) takes 2-3 days. We work room-by-room to minimize disruption.
What is the warranty on your installation?
In addition to the manufacturer’s warranty (often Lifetime or 20-year), Tall Grass Windows provides a 2-year labor warranty on all workmanship.
