Window Replacement FAQs

Straight answers about replacement windows, skylights, comfort, efficiency, and financing.
How do I know if it is time to replace my windows?
If your windows are drafty, hard to open, fogging up, or showing their age, it may be time to look at replacement options. New windows can help improve comfort, appearance, and day-to-day performance in your home.
What window brands do you offer?
We install Pella windows (the 350 Series vinyl line plus fiberglass and wood options), MI vinyl windows, and VELUX skylights. We'll help you compare them and choose the right fit for your home and budget.
Do you install skylights?
Yes. A-RITE Exteriors also offers skylight options as part of our window and daylighting services.
Can new windows help with comfort and energy efficiency?
Yes. New windows can help reduce drafts, improve indoor comfort, and support better energy performance throughout the year.
Can skylights make a room feel brighter?
Yes. Skylights can bring in more natural light and help a room feel brighter, more open, and more inviting.
Do you offer financing for window projects?
Yes. Financing options are available for qualifying homeowners. Loan amounts up to $100,000 unsecured may be available, with final approval, rates, and terms based on lender review and credit qualification.
How much do replacement windows cost in Wausau?
Replacement windows start around $1,250 for a smaller window and can run $3,000 or more for larger ones, installed. Exact pricing requires a free, on-site quote. Your final cost depends on window size and style, frame material, glass package, permits, and how involved the install is.
How long does window replacement take?
Most homes take a couple of days. You don't need to be home while we work.
What's the difference between full-frame and insert replacement?
With insert replacement, the new window fits inside your old frame. With full-frame replacement, the old window and frame both come out, so we can check the opening, insulate and seal it, and set the new window. We do full-frame replacement in most homes.
What U-factor should I look for in Wisconsin?
U-factor shows how well a window holds heat in, and lower is better. ENERGY STAR's Northern zone, which covers Wisconsin, calls for a U-factor of 0.22 or lower.
Can you replace windows in the winter?
Yes. We swap one window at a time, so only one opening is open for a short stretch and your home stays warm.
