Windows are a vital part of our everyday living. Not only do they offer our homes protection against intruders, but they create a welcoming arrival for homeowners and guests. A strategically placed window can enhance your home, increase value, and improve energy efficiency.

How do you tell if you need new windows? How often should you replace home windows? If your windows are more than 20 years old, it’s time to replace them.

Draftiness is a surefire sign that your windows need an upgrade. Paul Ryan Windows makes window replacement an easy task with our years of experience and excellent service in the Houston area.
