Question 1

How much does window replacement cost along the Front Range?

Accepted Answer

Window replacement costs depend on the window type, size, glass package, frame material, opening condition, and number of windows in the project. We provide free in-home consultations and detailed written quotes so you can compare options clearly. Flexible financing options are available for qualified homeowners.

Question 2

Why should I choose Andersen windows over other brands?

Accepted Answer

Andersen offers a broad range of styles, materials, glass packages, and architectural options for Colorado homes. Fibrex composite and wood-clad product lines support different priorities for durability, design, efficiency, and budget. As an Andersen Certified Contractor, we help you choose the right product and install it according to manufacturer requirements.

Question 3

Will new windows really lower my energy bills in Colorado?

Accepted Answer

Energy-efficient windows can reduce unwanted heat transfer and improve comfort, especially when replacing older single-pane units or windows with failed seals. The actual savings depend on the home, existing windows, insulation, HVAC system, installation quality, and the new glass package. We focus on realistic recommendations rather than promising a fixed percentage.

Question 4

How long does window or door installation take?

Accepted Answer

Most whole-home window replacement projects are completed in one to two days. Individual windows take about 30-60 minutes each once the crew is set up. Entry door installations typically take 4-8 hours. The full timeline from initial consultation to completed installation is usually 6-10 weeks, with product fabrication accounting for 4-6 weeks of that. We work efficiently and respect your time.

Question 5

What should Front Range homeowners consider when choosing windows?

Accepted Answer

Front Range homes face strong sun, rapid temperature changes, wind, hail, and major differences in elevation and exposure. Choose frame materials, Low-E glass, weatherstripping, and installation details for the specific home and each opening’s orientation—not just a generic product label.

Question 6

Do you offer financing for window and door replacement?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Flexible financing options are available through approved lending partners for qualified homeowners. Terms and program availability can change, so we review the current options and disclosures with you during the consultation.

Question 7

Do you use subcontractors for installation?

Accepted Answer

Never. Every Dream Windows and Doors installation is performed by our own trained, in-house crew. We do not hand your project off to day laborers or strangers. Our installers are Andersen Certified, meaning they have completed factory training on proper installation techniques. This matters because even the best window performs poorly if it is installed wrong. When you hire us, you get us.

Question 8

Can your windows handle Colorado hail?

Accepted Answer

We live here, and we know what a May hailstorm does. Andersen offers impact-resistant glass options specifically designed to withstand hail and flying debris. For homes in particularly exposed areas (east-facing walls, higher elevations), we recommend these upgraded glass packages. Even Andersen's standard tempered glass performs well against moderate hail. During your consultation, we assess your home's exposure and recommend the right level of protection.

Question 9

Do I need to replace all my windows at once?

Accepted Answer

No, and many of our customers choose to phase their project. A common approach is to start with the windows causing the most problems (drafty bedrooms, foggy glass, hard-to-open sashes) or the rooms you use most. We can plan a phased replacement that fits your budget and timeline. That said, whole-home replacement in one project does deliver the best overall energy savings and gives your home a consistent, updated look.

Question 10

What warranty do I get on windows and installation?

Accepted Answer

You get two layers of protection. First, Andersen's product warranty, which is one of the strongest in the window industry and covers materials and manufacturing defects. Second, Dream Windows and Doors' own installation warranty, which covers our workmanship. Because we are an Andersen Certified Contractor, your product warranty is fully honored -- some window companies void the manufacturer warranty by improper installation. We protect your investment from both sides.
