• Frame material: Vinyl remains cost-effective, while fiberglass and composite command premiums but deliver superior thermal performance.
• Glazing packages: Double pane argon is standard; triple pane low-E may qualify for NYSERDA incentives.
• Opening modifications: Expanding a sash to a bay or egress window raises structural labor.
• Historical district approvals: Extra documentation and custom trims add time and cost.
• Access level: Second-story replacements require additional safety staging.
Vinyl
• Affordable and low-maintenance
• Welded corners resist air infiltration
Fiberglass
• Expands and contracts at the same rate as glass, reducing seal failure
• Paintable surface matches historic palettes
Clad Wood
• Warm interior aesthetics with aluminum exterior protection
• Perfect for period homes along New Scotland Avenue
Using thermal-imaging scanners during the post-install audit, CountBricks verifies that your new assemblies eliminate convective leaks. Homeowners typically see:
• 10-15 °F increase in interior surface temperature near windows
• Payback on energy bills within 3-5 heating seasons
• Accurate material counts eliminate 8-10% waste common in manual takeoffs.
• Real-time supplier pricing locks in costs before market swings.
• Automated scheduling reduces labor downtime, shaving days off the job.
1. How long does a typical Albany NY window replacement take?
Most single-family homes take two to three days on site, thanks to pre-staged deliveries.
2. Can CountBricks help secure rebates?
Yes. Our platform auto-fills incentive paperwork and uploads U-factor certificates.
3. Do you dispose of old windows?
CountBricks recycles glass and donates salvageable sashes to local reuse centers.
• Schedule installs between April and October to avoid weather delays.
• Opt for full-frame replacement if rot is present; inserts can hide problems.
• Upgrade to foam-filled frames for an extra R-1 without major cost.
• Consider tempered glass for large picture windows to meet NY safety codes.
• Always verify installation spacing shims remain after spray-foam cures.

A recent CountBricks project on Madison Avenue showcases what’s possible when technology meets craftsmanship. The 1920s Colonial featured original single-pane wood windows, beautiful but inefficient. Heating bills topped $4,200 last year, and exterior paint was peeling from moisture-laden sashes.
• Home Style: Two-story Colonial Revival
• Window Count: 27 units, various sizes
• Selected Product: Fiberglass double-hung with simulated divided lites
• Turnaround: 14 days from first call to final inspection
The homeowner walked each room with a phone in hand while our project manager recorded measurements through CountBricks voice capture. Within 12 minutes the platform generated three budget tiers. The client chose a mid-range package saving 11% compared to traditional bids. Material orders auto-synced with regional suppliers, guaranteeing delivery before demo day.
• Custom-matched exterior cladding preserved historic curb appeal.
• Low-expansion foam and sealed jamb extensions achieved an average air leakage of 0.05 cfm/ft²—50% tighter than code.
• Interior trim was pre-cut off-site, reducing dust and keeping rooms livable.
Post-install blower-door tests showed a 17% reduction in overall ACH (air changes per hour). Utility statements after the first heating cycle revealed a $310 savings. The homeowner also secured a $1,200 state incentive, processed automatically through CountBricks.com.
