Will My New Windows Look Out Of Place If I Replace Them?

When installed correctly, your new windows will blend seamlessly with your home's original style. Our skilled craftsmen work carefully to preserve as much of the original wood and framing as possible, minimizing changes to your home's exterior. We even offer custom fabrication of older-style framing to perfectly match your existing look.

While others might tell you to "just deal with it," we believe you shouldn't have to sacrifice your home's character for new windows. At Folkers, we help you keep that timeless, classic appearance—giving you the best of both worlds: authentic style and modern performance.

Is It Better To Replace My Older Windows?

Newer windows offer improved energy efficiency and can help reduce your utility bills. However, they often differ in appearance from traditional, older-style windows. If your main goal is enhanced performance and energy savings, replacement may be the best choice.

On the other hand, if preserving the historic integrity and unique character of your home is a priority, repairing or restoring your existing windows could be the ideal solution.
