Yonkers Window Replacement Blog

Every post here answers a question Yonkers property owners actually ask before they hire anyone — what work costs, which materials are worth the upcharge, how long a job really takes, and the shortcuts that look fine for two years and then do not.

The writing comes from the same people doing the work in Yonkers, NY and the lower Hudson Valley, which is why the numbers are specific and the advice sometimes tells you not to spend money.

Skip the articles and go to the page for what you need — each one covers pricing, scope and how to start:

• Energy-Efficient Windows in Yonkers — The number changed on the last day of 2025. New York's 2025 energy code took effect with no grace period, and for climate zone 4A, which covers all of Westchester, replacement windows now have to reach a 0.27 U-factor and a 0.40 solar heat gain coefficient.
• Vinyl Replacement Windows in Yonkers — Vinyl is the right answer for most of the housing in this city, and we will say so before you ask. On a two- or three-family frame house the arithmetic is not close: it costs a fraction of clad-wood and hits the code numbers easily.
• Fiberglass Windows in Yonkers — Fiberglass answers one problem better than anything else on the market here, and the problem is daylight. Replacing into an existing masonry opening with an insert means the new frame sits inside the old one, and every extra millimeter of frame section is glass you lose permanently.
• Wood & Clad-Wood Windows in Yonkers — Clad-wood exists for one situation, common in the north and west of this city: the interior casing is original and worth keeping, and a white plastic frame beside it would look like exactly what it is. The outside gets a metal or composite skin.
• Aluminum Window Frames in Yonkers — We will talk most homeowners out of aluminum, and it is worth explaining why rather than refusing. Aluminum moves heat about a thousand times faster than vinyl does.
