Custom Window Installation & Repair in Springfield, IL

Stop Throwing Money Out the Window

Your windows are the “eyes” of your home, but for many homeowners in Central Illinois, they are also the biggest energy holes. If you have original wood windows or cheap builder-grade vinyl from decades ago, you are likely paying to heat the neighborhood in the winter and cool the outdoors in the summer.

But energy loss isn’t the only problem. Old windows are often difficult to open, with stuck sashes that require brute force to budge. Worse, outdated or broken locks pose significant safety concerns, leaving your family vulnerable.

At Abe’s Roofing & Exteriors, we provide residential window replacement solutions that address efficiency, safety, and curb appeal all at once. We install premium Vinylmax windows that meet the rigorous new Energy Star 7.0 standards. Stop struggling with stuck sashes and drafty rooms—upgrade to windows that work for you.

Our Window Installation Process

Even the most expensive window will fail if it is installed poorly. A gap the size of a pinhead can let in enough moisture to rot your frame and enough air to negate the window’s insulation value.

Unlike “fly-by-night” contractors, we follow a meticulous 5-step process to ensure an air-tight fit:

Precision Measurement & Quote

We don’t believe in “one size fits all.” We measure every single opening down to the fraction of an inch to ensure a custom fit. This means we never have to force a stock window into a space that doesn’t fit, which is a primary cause of bowing and air leaks. We provide a detailed quote so you know exactly what the window replacement cost will be.

Clean Removal & Inspection

We carefully remove your old units to minimize disruption to your siding and drywall. Once the old window is out, we inspect the rough opening for signs of water damage, rot, or mold, and address those issues before the new window goes in.

Weatherproofing

We flash the opening using high-grade flashing tape. This creates a waterproof barrier that directs water away from your wall cavity, preventing the hidden rot that destroys homes from the inside out.

Insulated Installation

This is the step many competitors skip. We use low-expansion spray foam to seal the gap between the window frame and your wall studs. Some contractors just stuff fiberglass in there (which doesn’t stop air) or use nothing at all. Our method creates a thermal break that stops drafts dead.

Trim & Screen

We finish the job by installing the revolutionary FlexScreen and capping the exterior trim with custom-bent aluminum. This provides a maintenance-free finish that never needs painting.

Comprehensive Window Services

Whether you need a whole-house upgrade or a specific repair, we are the window replacement company near you that handles it all.

Full Window Replacement

We install a wide variety of styles including double-hung, casement, sliders, bay/bow, and custom shapes. If you are looking for the best replacement windows on the market, we have the answer.

Window Repair & Glass Replacement

Not every fogged window needs to be thrown out. If you have "seal failure" (where the glass looks foggy or milky) or a broken pane from a baseball, we offer window glass replacement near you. We can often replace just the sash or the glass unit, saving you money.

Screen Replacement

Torn screens let bugs in and look terrible. We offer window screen replacement near you, upgrading you to stronger, clearer mesh options.

Basement Windows

These are often the most neglected part of the home. We offer basement window replacement to swap out those rusty, single-pane steel rectangles for secure, energy-efficient vinyl hoppers or sliders.

24/7 Emergency Board-Up

Broken windows are a severe security and weather risk. We offer 24/7 emergency board-up services to keep your home safe and secure until a proper replacement can be installed.

Premium Technology: Why We Choose Vinylmax

We partner with Vinylmax because they manufacture windows specifically for our Midwest climate. They don’t just look good; they are engineered to perform.

Energy Star 7.0 Certified

Vinylmax windows meet the strictest new Energy Star 7.0 efficiency standards for the Northern Climate zone. This translates to significantly less condensation in winter and lower HVAC costs year-round.

IntelliGlass (Low-E)

We use specialized IntelliGlass This Low-E (low emissivity) glass acts like a heat mirror—reflecting your furnace heat back into the room during winter and reflecting solar heat out during summer. It also blocks UV rays to prevent sun damage to furniture and carpets.

FlexScreen

As seen on Shark Tank, FlexScreen is the world’s first flexible window screen. It snaps into the window track, disappearing from view and making removal for cleaning incredibly easy. No more bent aluminum frames!

Durability

Premium vinyl construction means these windows will never warp, peel, rot, or need painting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Single Pane vs. Double Pane: Is it worth the upgrade?

Absolutely. Single-pane windows have zero insulation value - it's just a sheet of glass between you and the freezing cold. Double-pane windows with Argon gas create a thermal barrier that drastically reduces heat transfer and outside noise. It is the single most effective upgrade for home comfort.

How much does it cost to replace windows?

The cost to replace windows varies based on the size, style (double-hung vs. casement), and glass package. Because every opening is different, we provide free, accurate estimates rather than "guesstimates" over the phone.

Can I just replace the glass?

Yes, if your window frames are in good condition (no rot or warping), we can often perform a window pane glass replacement near you. This is a great option for fixing fogged glass or broken panes without the cost of a full tear-out.

Do you offer basement windows?

Yes. Upgrading to modern vinyl basement windows improves security and eliminates the drafts that make your floors cold.
