Frequently Asked Questions
As a home improvement company, Premier Home Exterior receives plenty of questions about our products, services, and what we do in general. Here are some of the questions we get asked often, along with some answers from our home improvement experts.
Window FAQs
Do replacement windows come in standard, pre-made sizes?
Yes! You’ll likely be able to use a pre-made window if you have a more contemporary home that uses standard builder window sizes. However, Premier Home Exterior installs custom-made windows that are manufactured according to our measurements of each window opening.
Why are vinyl replacement windows so popular?
Affordability. Vinyl as a replacement window option is one of the most affordable window types for homeowners. On top of that, vinyl-framed windows are exceptionally durable and energy efficient.
How long does it take to install replacement windows?
That depends on the number of windows you’re replacing in your home. If you’re replacing one window, then that takes us about an hour. If you’re replacing every window in your home, it could take a day to a few days to finish the job.
What is the average cost to replace windows?
Again, this is a question best answered by the number of windows you’re replacing. Depending on the window type and size, one window replacement can cost you several hundred dollars. If you’re having every window replaced, then it will cost several thousand dollars.
Should I replace all the house windows at once?
Homeowners should work to replace all their windows at once to ensure they age simultaneously. That way, if one window fails, you’ll know it’s probably time to replace all of them.
How should I choose a replacement window company?
When choosing a replacement window company, homeowners should check to see how long their company of choice has been in business, if they are rated highly by the Better Business Bureau, and if they have stellar references and online reviews. Service costs are also something to consider!
When is the best time to replace my windows?
The best time is always now! But to be clear, most windows need replacing after about 20 years of use. Considering the leaps and innovations in window technology in the past few years, you’ll be getting new windows that are even better than anything else ever released.
As far as the best time of year to replace windows, it’s generally recommended that homeowners have windows replaced in the spring or fall when temperatures tend to be moderate. Windows can, however, be replaced at any time of year as long as weather allows.
What materials for replacement windows are available?
Many styles and options are available for homeowners, but Premier Home Exterior offers vinyl windows from ProVia and wood windows from Weather Shield.

Siding FAQs
What types of siding materials are available from Premier Home Exterior for my home?
Premier Home Exterior offers several siding materials for home and business owners, such as vinyl, fiber cement, and insulated.
How long does house siding usually last?
This largely depends on which siding material you’ve chosen for your home. Vinyl siding can last over 20 years, while fiber cement siding can last well over 50 years if you take care of it. Regular maintenance can extend the life of your siding.
Is siding energy efficient?
Yes! New siding can help you save money on energy costs, especially if you choose our insulated siding selection. Our siding can reduce heat loss in the winter and keep your home cooler in the summer.
How do I maintain my siding?
It all depends on which siding you’ve selected. However, vinyl and fiber cement siding can be cleaned with a mild detergent or pressure washer.
Can siding help improve my home’s curb appeal?
Definitely. New siding is just as much an aesthetic upgrade as a practical one. Considering the style and color options, you can have your home look like something out of a magazine in just a few days of work.
How do I know when it’s time to replace my siding?
Signs you may need new siding include cracking, warping, fading, mold, or mildew growth. If you notice high energy bills or drafts in your home, your siding might also be less efficient and need replacement.
How much does the siding installation cost?
The cost of siding installation depends on factors like material choice, the size of your home, labor, and any additional work needed, such as removing old siding. Siding installation can range from $5,000 to $15,000 or more.
