During the winter, a window in need of repair or replacement can be the culprit behind high energy bills. If your window is letting your home’s warm air out and cold air in, you’re probably paying more to keep your home well-heated.
A single pane of glass can lose nearly 50% more heat than insulated vinyl siding of same proportion, so the more windows you have in your home, the more heat loss you have at stake. Studies show that 25%-35% of your home’s heat can be lost through your windows, which means you’ll have to use your furnace more than necessary in order to keep you and your family comfortable during the winter months.

Energy Savings
Many homeowners don’t realize that low-quality windows can actually let in outdoor air when they’re not supposed to; that means drafts of hot air when you’re trying to keep your home cool and drafts of cold air when you’re trying to keep your home warm. When this happens, it reduces your home’s energy efficiency and you’re forced to pay more to keep your home at the right temperature.
With a window replacement from P.J. Fitzpatrick, however, we can help rectify this. Our windows are well-insulated and provide a tightly sealed barrier between your interior and the outdoors.

- FIBERGLASS DOORS: Fiberglass is a relatively new material in doors today. It’s very low maintenance, resists denting and scratching, and is very h3 and secure. It also offers a wood grain if you desire a wood-look. Another benefit to fiberglass is that unlike wood and steel, it doesn’t need to be finished to be considered low maintenance. Fiberglass, even when left unfinished, will last for years without fears of mold, deterioration, or rust.
- STEEL DOORS: Today’s steel doors do much more than just provide security though they perform that function quite well. Steel doors are also renowned for their insulating qualities. Typically, steel doors are constructed of a hollow heavy gauge galvanized steel shell that is filled with expanding foam or some other high-density insulation foam. Galvanizing prevents the steel from rusting. After the foam sets and hardens, the surfaces are coated so that the door is not cold to the touch.
- STILE & RAIL DOORS: This older style of door is made from planks of timber – or a wood composite. The name refers to its components – vertical members, called stiles, and horizontal members called rails.
- FRENCH DOORS: Commonly used to connect your garden with your house, a French door is one made of glass and framed (most commonly) by wood or aluminum.They are found as both single and double doors.
- SLIDING DOORS: These doors are often a gateway to the backyard. Large glass panes let lots of light in, and lots of ventilation when opened. Solid sliding doors are used indoors when space is an issue as there may not be enough room for a wing door to open – this is especially useful in bathrooms. Inside, sliding doors are often “pocket” doors – so called because they slide into a pocket in the wall when open.
