Lee Nelson-Reimer says, "Wish I could double the 5-Stars!Last Friday morning Smart Solar sent 2 exceptional people - Brandon & Chase.They had their own strengths and roles to play in the efforts, but were both leaders in their own right that worked together to solve several problems we had at the same time, going up and down from the roof for hours in the 108 heat.Brandon & Chase brought real expertise, finesse, and problem-solving skills that helped figure out a complicated solar panel efficiency issue on aging equipment quickly. The System was running but not reporting, had faulty switches & a few dead panels with malfunctioning micro inverters plus an expired Gateway after it had recently passed the 10 year mark.Even though they had never been a part of installing the system themselves, they forged ahead to offer real help with Focus & energy. Thats exceptional enough to see in business, but the fact that they were not there to look around & just sell something to us was a relief.Chase & Brandon were attentive, respectful and listened to us while working swiftly to find answers & get the array back up & working.What a relief!No judgment. No dismissive attitude. Just Great Customer Service!!!!Solar is a specialized industry and up to this point I have never found anyone who would repair a system that others had installed and left behind to no longer answer calls about. In my mind, this will be a growing need & there is only one company I would call or recommend from this point onThats Smart Solar So Cal & Roofing.Im in the construction industry & I will now proudly recommend them. Because of the great experience I had last Friday, I have intentions of using them to do brand new Roofing & Solar projects on 2 Clients Homes! Thanks Spencer! Your Team is Incredible."See more

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How do you replace a window?

You may want to replace a window if the glass has been damaged, you’re remodeling a room, or you want to upgrade your energy efficiency as well as your style by getting rid of those drafty single panes that are losing you money. When replacing a window, you can remove and replace the entire window down to the house frame. This method is best if the existing frame is damaged or deteriorating, but requires construction skills and know-how and will take more time and money. An easier and less expensive option is to install an insert replacement window into the existing frame. Insert replacements are only an option if your window frame is in good condition without rot or damage.

When replacing an entire window, first you’ll carefully remove the existing window with a pry bar and other tools. Next, you’ll make any repairs and adjustments needed to the existing frame or header and studs to ensure that the space is perfectly plumb and square, so the new window will sit perfectly within the space. Next, install the new window from the exterior, securing it into place. You’ll need to precisely wrap and insulate the window to ensure it doesn’t leak. Then, install the interior casing and exterior trim (as needed). If you prefer to hire a professional to install a window, consider replacing more than one window at a time, as the pro can work more efficiently.

How much is a custom window?

Choosing custom windows will increase your window installation cost but will provide you with exactly what you want. The average national cost for window installation is $2,650. Your custom window costs will vary based on several factors. The first factor is the type of frame you want. The four most common types of frames are vinyl, fiberglass, aluminum and wood. Wood is typically the most expensive option, followed by aluminum. The type of glass you select will also affect cost. There are single-, double- and triple-pane windows. Most double- and triple-pane windows have gas sealed between the panes that act as insulation. Windows typically cost more the more energy-efficient they are, though this efficiency can save you money on utility bills in the long run. The type of glass used can also affect cost. There are different grades of glass — high-performance glass, low-e coated glass, and more — which all provide you with better insulation. In addition, the number of unified inches (window height x window width) you need will affect cost. The cost of custom windows will also be affected by installation cost and whether any repair or construction work is required to properly fit the new window.

How much would it cost to put in new windows?

The cost to replace a window can vary depending on factors such as window size, type of glass, brand of window, necessary trim repair, and any construction work required for installation. Labor rates and cost to do business in your region will also affect the cost. The national average window installation cost is $2,650 per project. Here are some examples of average trim repair and window replacement costs:

  • Trim repair:
    • Line and case a window frame with an MDF product: $400.
    • Line and case a window frame with raw hemlock wood: $500.
  • Approximate cost to install five windows at one time: $3,000.
  • Approximate cost to install one double-hung, energy-efficient 3-foot by 4-foot window: $500-$550.
    • For the same window size (3-foot by 4-foot) from a different manufacturer made with a specialty fiberglass exterior and all-wood interior, the cost could go up to $1,500.
    • Pricing can go as high as $5,000 for a bay or bow window with specialty glass and framing.
      • These examples include removal and disposal of old materials and window.
