Replace Drafty Windows That Drive Up Heating Bills

Window Installation & Replacement in Kennewick for homes with single-pane glass, condensation buildup, or frames that no longer seal properly

A&R General Contracting Veteran Owned and Operated, LLC installs and replaces windows for residential properties in Kennewick, Yakima, Spokane, and nearby areas. You may notice drafts near window edges, condensation forming between panes, or frost accumulating on the interior glass during winter mornings. These signs indicate that seals have failed, insulation is missing, or the window assembly no longer fits the opening correctly. This service removes old units, prepares rough openings, and installs energy-efficient windows that reduce heat loss and improve comfort.



The work begins with measuring each opening to account for settling, framing irregularities, and siding type. Old windows are removed carefully to avoid damaging surrounding trim or siding. New units are leveled, shimmed, and fastened to the framing before insulation is applied around the perimeter. Exterior caulking and flashing are installed to prevent water infiltration, and interior trim is cut and fastened to cover gaps. The installation is sequenced with siding and framing services when part of a larger remodel, and each phase is outlined in the project estimate.


If your windows are letting in cold air, fogging up, or making rooms uncomfortable during Kennewick's temperature swings, contact A&R General Contracting Veteran Owned and Operated, LLC to discuss replacement options and scheduling.

What You Gain From Properly Installed Windows

When you choose A&R General Contracting Veteran Owned and Operated, LLC for window installation, you receive units with low-emissivity coatings, argon gas fills, and insulated frames that meet or exceed current energy codes. Each window is fitted with weatherstripping and locking mechanisms that engage firmly when closed.



After installation, you will notice that rooms stay warmer in winter without running the furnace constantly, and exterior noise from traffic or wind is noticeably reduced. Glass surfaces remain clear without condensation forming overnight, and curtains or blinds no longer flutter from air movement. The exterior appearance improves as well, with clean sightlines and trim that matches the architectural style of your home.


This service coordinates with siding removal, framing repairs, and interior painting when needed. If the rough opening requires structural adjustments or rot repair, those issues are addressed before the new window is installed. Warranties from manufacturers are registered on your behalf, and you receive documentation that includes model numbers, glass specifications, and installation dates for future reference.

Answers to Frequent Window Replacement Questions

Homeowners often ask about window types, installation timing, and what to expect during the replacement process.


  • What is the difference between single-hung and double-hung windows? Single-hung windows have a fixed upper sash and a lower sash that slides vertically. Double-hung windows allow both sashes to move, making cleaning easier and providing more ventilation control.
  • How long does it take to replace windows in a typical home? A crew can replace four to six windows per day, depending on access, framing condition, and siding type. Homes in Kennewick with stucco or masonry exteriors may require additional time for patching and sealing.
  • When should window replacement happen during a remodel? Windows should be installed after framing and sheathing are complete but before interior drywall or exterior siding is finished. This allows proper flashing and trim integration without rework.
  • Why do some windows fog up between the panes? Fogging occurs when the seal between dual-pane glass fails, allowing moisture to enter the air space. Once this happens, the insulating gas escapes and the window loses its thermal performance.
  • What window features reduce heating costs in Eastern Washington? Look for low-emissivity coatings that reflect interior heat back into the room, argon or krypton gas fills that reduce conduction, and insulated frames made from vinyl or fiberglass rather than aluminum.
