How long does it take to replace windows in a house?

Most whole-home projects (10-20 windows) take 2-4 days of on-site work. The larger variable is lead time on materials, which typically runs 3-6 weeks depending on the manufacturer and product line.

How much does it cost to replace windows?

Installed cost per window generally falls between $400 and $1,200, depending on size, frame material, glass options, and whether it is a retrofit or full-frame install. We provide itemized quotes after the in-home assessment.

What is the difference between retrofit and full-frame window replacement?

Retrofit is a good fit when the existing frame is structurally sound and you want to minimize cost and disruption. Full-frame replacement is the better choice if there is rot, water damage, or if you want to resize the opening. We assess this during the initial visit.

Do replacement windows save energy?

Yes. Upgrading from single-pane to dual-pane Low-E windows typically reduces heating and cooling costs by 15-25%. The improvement is especially noticeable in foothill homes that deal with 100-degree summers and cold winter mornings.

What windows work best for Loomis heat?

Dual-pane windows with spectrally selective Low-E coatings block the most heat without darkening the view. For west-facing windows that get direct afternoon sun, we may also recommend exterior shading or tinted glazing options. The key is reducing infrared transmission while keeping your home bright.

Can you replace windows in my barn or outbuilding?

Yes. We handle glass work for agricultural and equestrian buildings, including barn windows, tempered glass panels, and fixed-lite installations. These projects are straightforward and we can usually complete them in a single visit.

Do you serve Newcastle from the same route?

Yes. Newcastle is right along our I-80 service route between Auburn and Loomis. We schedule Newcastle projects on the same days as other lower-foothill work.

Window Installation & Replacement — What to Expect

Old or failing windows are one of the largest sources of energy loss in foothill and coastal homes. Single-pane glass and deteriorated seals let conditioned air escape, force HVAC systems to work harder, and create uncomfortable drafts near seating areas and bedrooms. Replacing those windows is one of the most cost-effective upgrades a homeowner can make, both for monthly utility savings and long-term property value.

Colfax Glass installs replacement windows from Milgard, Ply Gem, Coeur D'Alene, and JELD-WEN. We carry vinyl, fiberglass, and wood-clad frame options and pair them with Low-E glass coatings sized to your home's orientation and climate zone. For Auburn and Roseville properties that take direct afternoon sun, we often recommend dual-pane units with a U-factor below 0.30 and a solar heat gain coefficient tuned for hot summers. For Brookings and Crescent City homes facing salt air and coastal wind, we focus on corrosion-resistant frames and impact-rated glazing.

We handle both retrofit installations, where the new window fits inside the existing frame, and full-frame replacements, where we remove everything down to the rough opening. Retrofit is faster and less invasive; full-frame is better when the existing frame is damaged or when you want to change the window size. During our in-home assessment, we inspect the framing, check for moisture damage, and recommend the right approach for each opening.

Every installation includes weatherstripping, insulation around the frame cavity, and clean interior and exterior trim work. We haul away old windows and leave the job site clean. Homes across Colfax, Grass Valley, Nevada City, Loomis, Rocklin, and Sacramento have all benefited from this straightforward process.

Window Installation & Replacement for Loomis, CA Homes

Loomis is a small town along the I-80 corridor between Rocklin and Auburn, known for its rural character, horse properties, and fruit-growing heritage. Most homes are single-family residences on lots ranging from a quarter acre to several acres. Building styles lean toward ranch-style homes from the 1970s through 1990s, with newer custom homes on the larger parcels. The town's low density and open landscapes mean many homes get full sun exposure with little shade, making solar heat gain a primary concern for window selection.

Summer temperatures in Loomis routinely hit the upper 90s and occasionally top 105 degrees. South- and west-facing windows in particular take a beating from direct sun. We recommend spectrally selective Low-E glass for Loomis homes to block infrared heat while maintaining visible light transmission. For horse property owners with barns and outbuildings, we also handle utilitarian glass work like barn window replacements and tempered glass panels for covered arenas.

Colfax Glass reaches Loomis in about 30 minutes via I-80. We serve the entire Loomis area including properties along Horseshoe Bar Road, King Road, and Brace Road. The town's proximity to both Auburn and Rocklin means we often schedule Loomis projects alongside nearby jobs for efficient routing.

“Our ranch house in Loomis was an oven in summer. They replaced all the west-facing windows with Low-E glass and the temperature difference is dramatic. Should have done it years ago.”
