You’ll notice the difference immediately when those drafty spots disappear and your heating bills drop. No more fighting with windows that won’t budge or rooms that feel like saunas in summer and ice boxes in winter.
Most Hillcrest Heights homes lose 25-30% of their heating and cooling through old, leaky windows. That’s $283 extra on your energy bills every year—money flying straight out your windows. When we install energy-efficient windows designed for Maryland’s climate extremes, that waste stops.
Your HVAC system stops working overtime just to maintain comfortable temperatures. You get consistent comfort year-round, lower monthly bills, and a home that actually holds the temperature you set it to.
We’ve been installing windows for Maryland homeowners for over 30 years. We’re not some fly-by-night operation or national chain with rotating crews—we’re your neighbors, a family-owned company deeply rooted in this community.
We earned GAF Master Elite certification, ranking us among the top 2% of contractors nationwide. That certification isn’t just a badge—it means we meet strict requirements for licensing, insurance, proven reputation, and ongoing professional training. We maintain an A+ BBB rating and hold Maryland Home Improvement Commission license #140145.
Most importantly for Hillcrest Heights residents, we understand Maryland’s coastal conditions. We know which windows handle Chesapeake Bay humidity, winter storms, and summer heat without failing. Three decades of local installations taught us what works and what doesn’t.
We start with a free consultation at your Hillcrest Heights home. No high-pressure sales tactics or inflated estimates—just honest assessment of what you need and transparent pricing. We measure precisely and explain all options clearly, because windows that don’t fit exactly right waste energy no matter how efficient the glass is.
Once you’re ready, we order your windows and schedule installation around your timeline. Our experienced crews arrive on time, protect your interior, and remove old windows carefully without damaging surrounding areas. New windows install with proper sealing, insulation, and weatherproofing techniques that actually work in Maryland’s humid climate.
Installation typically takes about 30 minutes per window, and most residential projects complete in a single day. We clean up completely and walk through everything to ensure it meets our standards and yours. You’ll feel the difference in temperature control within hours—no more cold drafts in winter or hot spots in summer.

Not all windows can handle Maryland’s climate extremes. We install Energy Star certified windows that meet strict requirements for our climate zone—U-factor of 0.30 or lower and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient of 0.40 or lower. These specifications aren’t just numbers—they’re what keep your home comfortable without your HVAC system running constantly.
Hillcrest Heights sits in Prince George’s County, where homes face humid summers, cold winters, and everything in between. We select windows with Low-E coatings that reflect summer heat, argon gas between panes for superior insulation, and frames that won’t warp when temperatures swing 40 degrees in a day. These features matter when you’re dealing with Maryland’s weather patterns.
Every window installation includes professional measurement, proper removal of old windows, and expert installation with appropriate sealing and insulation. You get warranties backed by both us and the manufacturer. Our GAF Master Elite certification means enhanced warranty protection that goes beyond standard manufacturer warranties—protection that lasts as long as you own your home.
Most Hillcrest Heights homeowners see energy savings of $283 annually with properly installed, energy-efficient windows. That’s based on Department of Energy data showing that 25-30% of heating and cooling costs come from heat loss through old windows.
The exact savings depend on your current windows’ condition and your home’s size. Single-pane windows from the 1980s or earlier waste the most energy. If you’re dealing with drafts, condensation between panes, or windows that won’t seal properly, you’re likely losing even more money than the average.
Over 20 years, you could save $3,000-$6,000 in energy costs alone. Combined with increased home value and the federal tax credit of up to $600, quality windows typically pay for themselves through energy savings and added resale value.
The difference is in both the windows themselves and the installation. Big box store windows are mass-produced for average conditions—not specifically for Maryland’s humid summers, coastal storms, and freezing winters. We select windows with features like Low-E coatings, argon gas insulation, and frames designed to handle our climate extremes.
More importantly, proper installation makes all the difference. Windows that aren’t measured precisely or sealed correctly waste energy no matter how efficient the glass is. Our installers have decades of experience with Maryland homes and understand the specific challenges of coastal humidity and temperature swings.
You also get our GAF Master Elite warranty protection and local service. When you need help years from now, we’ll be here—not a call center in another state.
Most residential window installations in Hillcrest Heights take 1-2 days, depending on the number of windows. Single window replacements can often be completed in a few hours. We work efficiently while maintaining quality standards and minimizing disruption to your daily routine.
Installation day starts with protecting your home’s interior and carefully removing old windows. We prepare each opening, install new windows with proper sealing and insulation, then handle interior and exterior finish work. Every window gets tested to ensure it opens, closes, and locks correctly before we clean up.
Weather can affect scheduling, especially during Maryland’s winter months. We’ll provide realistic timelines during your consultation and keep you updated if conditions require adjustments. Most homeowners are surprised how smooth the process is when it’s done right.
Yes, we’ve successfully helped homeowners get window replacement costs covered through homeowners insurance, with customers often paying only their deductible. We understand the insurance claim process and work directly with insurance companies to make it as smooth as possible for you.
We handle the paperwork complexity, provide detailed damage assessments, and communicate directly with adjusters. This takes the stress out of dealing with insurance companies while ensuring you get the coverage you’re entitled to receive. We’ve seen too many homeowners accept lowball settlements because they didn’t understand their options.
Storm damage isn’t always obvious—sometimes it’s subtle frame damage or seal failure that shows up later. We can assess your windows after severe weather and help you understand what’s covered under your policy.
You get warranties backed by both the manufacturer and our workmanship guarantee. As a GAF Master Elite contractor, we can offer enhanced warranty protection that goes beyond standard manufacturer warranties. These warranties typically cover both materials and installation defects.
The specific warranty terms vary depending on the window products selected, but all installations include coverage for proper installation and material defects. Most of our warranties are transferable, which adds value if you sell your home. We stand behind our work and maintain our A+ BBB rating by addressing any warranty issues promptly and professionally.
We’re not going anywhere—we’ve been serving Maryland’s Eastern Shore for over 30 years. When you need service or have questions years from now, we’ll be here to help.
Maryland homeowners can claim 30% of the replacement costs in tax credits for qualifying ENERGY STAR® windows, with a maximum credit of $600 per window replacement project. This is through the federal Energy-Efficient Home Improvement Credit facilitated by the Inflation Reduction Act.
The credit is claimable in the year the windows are installed, not the year of purchase. You’ll need to file IRS Form 5695, Residential Energy Credits, during your annual tax filing. We provide all the documentation you need to claim the credit, including manufacturer certifications and installation details.
New windows must meet ENERGY STAR Most Efficient criteria to be eligible. All the windows we install meet or exceed these requirements, so you can take advantage of this significant savings opportunity while improving your home’s comfort and value.
