We have a lot of inquiries about window replacement, but also we have a lot of inquiries about window repairs. What’s the difference? Why choose one over the other? In today’s article we’ll cover why, in all circumstances, it’s better to replace your windows entirely than to just replace the glass or repair the frames. Keep reading to learn more.Â
Old frames are not energy efficient. Replacing just the glass in an old frame is like building a new window with old technology. It won’t matter if the new glass is energy efficient if the frames are not. The old frames were designed for the old glass not the new, and the glass still might not sit correctly even if replaced. If the goal is to get rid of cracked glass this may be sufficient, but it will only be a matter of time before that ugly condensation starts to show up again. Condensation forms between glass pains when even the tiniest amount of air is allowed to enter into the window. Old frames may allow that sooner than you think. Our suggestion is to just get new windows entirely that way the frame and the glass are top notch, can protect your home, and stay energy efficient for life.Â
People may be able to especially make the frames in your house function better or look nicer, but that doesn’t mean the frame is any more energy efficient. If you have old wood frames or aluminum frames it’s really time to just replace the window. Old aluminum frames expand and contract in the sun and if you put new glass in those the window will just start repositioning every time the sun hits it. Old wood does not protect very well against air infiltration and is not a great insulator when it comes to outside temperatures. What’s so neat about Vinyl Frames is that they are truly energy efficient. They stop unwanted air from entering your home, and they stay energy efficient in direct sunlight or extreme cold! How cool is that?
Some people may think they can save a lot of money if they just stick with repairing the window instead of going into full window replacement. This is a common misconception. Just because you may save some money up front does not mean you’ll save it in the long run. Overall repairing windows doesn’t save you as much money on energy efficiency, and it may cause you to just have to replace the windows a few years down the line which means you spent doubly for a window. If you choose to get new window replacement you can just get a window that will last a lifetime and not have to think about ever again. New windows on average can save you up to 40% on your total energy costs. Repaired old windows can only save you a fraction of that energy efficiency.Â
If your old frames are hard to open and don’t function properly it’s time to get new windows. Why struggle opening the windows to get a breeze in your home? Repair companies may be able to fix these flaws, but overall new technology is easier to use and is safer. Our new two point locks doubly protect your house against forced entry. Our windows too are designed to slide easily for life.Â
It’s easy to get new window replacement. You can find us online and request your free quote today. Remember, it’s always better to replace windows than repair them as you’ll get better overall energy efficiency from the window and more functionality without having to replace the windows ever again.

It’s Friday once again and we’re thrilled you’re reading this article. As another week comes to a close we’re taking you through the steps you should ask yourself before you purchase a new patio door. Keep reading to learn more.Â
Patio Doors, in a lot of ways, are like your own personal style. You wouldn’t wear something that wasn’t uniquely you. You wouldn’t want a door in your house that didn’t match the style of your home, would you? When you pick a patio door it’s good advice to keep in mind style.
Our first pro tip on how to pick the best patio door for you is . . .Â
Asking yourself what kind of style you want out of the door you get. Are you looking for the more sleek look of a sliding glass door, or do you want an old world feeling of a traditional French Door? Both are very different styles and it’s best to consider what will go with your style and lifestyle. Different french doors come with a variety of choices for glass. All patio doors come with a variety of options for hardware. Make sure you pick correctly now, because a new patio door purchased today is in your house for a very long time. Here at Conservation Construction of Houston we even have lifetime warranties.Â
Consider functionality. If you already have a small space where the patio door is going, it might be a good option to simply stick with a sliding glass door rather than a french door. French doors are designed to swing in our out and inherently take up a bigger space than a sliding glass door would. If you have a sliding glass door already, you won’t be disappointed either. Our doors are “Naturally Clean” with our Neat Glass coating. The hardware is easy to use and you’ll get a door that is truly clear and beautiful.Â
Energy Efficiency. If you have an old sliding glass door that is 20+ years it’s safe to say that all the energy saving properties have gone out on the door a long time ago. Today, regulations are a bit more strict at what kind of doors (and windows) manufacturers can sell to any homeowner. Every patio door or window sold in Colorado today must be what we call Low-E Glass. It’s a fancy way of saying the glass must have protective coatings to shield the home from harmful UV rays. Every company you look at should have some form of Low-E glass. It’s a major red flag if the company doesn’t have energy efficient patio doors.Â
In addition, Conservation Construction of Houston has one of the most unique glass doors on the market. We use a special Low-E glass called LoE-366 Glass. It almost makes all other Low-E glass obsolete. It has 12 layers of protective coating. Our doors and windows have some of the lowest heat transference values ever recorded. What this means for you is more stable room temperatures all year round. You’ll feel comfortable in your home. On top of this, we include a krypton/argon gas fill between the panes for better insulation and less air infiltration. This is what amounts to so much money savings.Â
Talk to the professional you are looking to replace your sliding glass door with. It’s easy to just go online and look at patio doors, it’s quite another to get the information right from the source. We here at Conservation Construction of Houston like questions and give free home estimates. If a company has a hard time answering your questions or is skirting around the truth that’s easy to spot. A great patio door company will be upfront and honest about everything involved in the process.Â
Have fun picking out your new patio door. It’s a large expense, but it is one that pays off. patio doors add value back into your home. Additionally, they give you more safety and better energy efficiency for your home. Average homeowners who switch to a new patio door can save up to 35% off their entire energy bill. That means more money is going back into your pocket to put towards other things. That is very cool indeed.Â
Finally, it’s easy to get the door you want.Â
We’re certain if you follow these steps you’ll be more than well on your way to getting a great patio door that will stand the test of time. Thanks as always for reading and we’ll see you next time.Â
Home improvement is a part of most people’s everyday lives. We don’t always want to deal with it believe me, but sometimes we are forced to deal with it regardless. When it comes to home improvement and exterior doors this can seem like such a hassle.Â
But whether you keep the doors open or closed they are an essential part of our homes regardless of the situation. French Doors and Sliding Glass Doors Doors offer natural light, energy efficient options, and different styles. If your patio door is old however, it may not even be providing you with your basic needs--like the door actually sliding. Take it from me and my personal experiences with my old patio door, you’re much better off replacing when it gets to this point.Â
If you are considering a patio door the good news is you have options and we’re going to explore a couple of those options in today’s article.Â
What really is the difference between Sliding Glass Doors and French Doors and why would you choose one over the other? These are all good questions to ask before you purchase a new door. So let’s get into the pros and cons of these doors to help you decide between sliding and french!Â
Let’s start by saying there is no right or wrong answer when it comes to replacing your patio doors. When people choose a new patio door it really comes down to preference in aesthetics than anything else, because most new patio doors manufactured today (especially here at Conservation Construction) are all made with energy efficiency, strength, and integrity for longevity. There are a few subtle differences you might want to consider when buying however . . .Â
Sliding glass doors save space. Yes, it’s true, sliding patio doors save more space than french doors and it’s good to keep this in mind when you’re shopping for new patio doors. Do you have a large area where the doors can open wide? Or is the space where you’re replacing your patio door a bit smaller? If it’s smaller you may want to go with sliding doors to use their space saving properties.Â
Safety wise there really isn’t much of a difference in door styles. The French styles and sliding styles have two point locking systems so to ensure they will hold up against weather, wear, and keep your home safe.Â
More Traditional Old World Look
If you’re going for a more regal classic look the french door definitely has this flare more than the sliding glass doors. When you see a french door you really just think elegance and class.Â
Although both styles of door offer breezes, French doors open wide on both sides to allow for bigger breezes. If you’re looking for easier access to the outdoor weather a french door may be the best option for you!Â
Installation is pretty standard across the board with patio doors. Our experts can install any and all doors with ease. We install the door the right way to ensure that you get the best energy efficiency and longevity out of the door possible. At Conservation Construction we also provide you with a lifetime warranty so you know the door will last and last.Â

Everyone wants to save money on their taxes, especially my family. We owed last year which is not a great feeling. It actually makes you feel gross really from the inside out. Not only do you pay taxes all year round, but now you owe more at the end of the year too? Yikes! That’s why we felt it was very important to write this article today. If you get energy saving products in your home, shouldn’t there be a benefit to that? Yes, there is! If you play your cards right you should be able to get a tax return from window replacement.Â
If you replaced any double-hung, casement, or egress window or installed windows on a new home that meet Energy Star standards, you may be eligible for a federal tax credit. You could even qualify if you have a partial window replacement, meaning you don’t have to remove and replace every window or door. The credits may be as high as 10% of the cost up to $200 for windows. That could be the difference between a tax credit and owing, am I right?Â
Not only could new windows give you money back off your taxes (if you qualify after using IRS Form 5695 (PDF) when you file your 2019 taxes) they could save you money off any and all future energy bills. Our Texas Windows ensure you get year round comfort. They protect your home from the harsh UV rays while not obstructing the beautiful views from outside. Homeowners who switch to Texas windows can see a significant energy savings of up to 40% off their entire energy bill! That’s crazy because, if you really think about it, 40% of the energy you are pumping into your house is escaping through the windows. That’s literally like throwing money out the window.Â
Just a quick side note here. My husband and I got new windows just over a year ago. The Air Conditioning/Furnace used to come on 2-3 times a night before the new windows were installed. After the windows were installed, they weren't even coming on at night. That’s pretty nifty. I have seen a savings of $20-$30 off my energy bill each month since the windows have been installed. Sure it’s a smaller amount, but $30 is quite a bit for me. With things getting so expensive in this world, every little bit of money counts!Â
As we come to a close on this article, I want you to remember that windows, doors, and even siding could qualify as tax deductible on your 2018 tax return. Windows could also save you money year round off energy costs. Thanks for reading this article and we’ll see you next week for another riveting topic!Â
