Energy-Efficient Window Replacement Engineered for Delaware Homes
Best Construction, Inc. installs Low-E glass replacement windows designed to eliminate drafts, reduce utility costs, and deliver measurable thermal performance. Our family-owned team has served Kent and New Castle Counties for more than 30 years, with the owner present at every installation.
Draft Elimination and Measurable Utility Savings
Best Construction, Inc. evaluates every window replacement project against documented performance standards, ensuring homeowners receive a system that performs to specification in Delaware's variable climate.
Draft Reduction
Multi-Point Sealing Systems
Modern sash and frame assemblies incorporate compression seals and weatherstripping engineered to close the gaps that allow air infiltration in aging window units.
Reinforced Frame Construction
Insulated frame cavities and multi-chambered profiles interrupt thermal conduction, eliminating the cold and hot spots commonly reported near original single-pane windows.
Utility Savings
Reduction in Annual Energy Costs
Homeowners replacing single-pane or worn double-pane windows with ENERGY STAR-qualified units commonly document double-digit reductions in heating and cooling expenditure.
Reduced Mechanical System Strain
Thermally efficient windows reduce the heating and cooling burden placed on HVAC equipment, extending system service life and moderating utility demand during peak seasons.
All replacement windows installed by Best Construction, Inc. utilize Low-E glass technology, which applies a microscopically thin, transparent coating to control solar heat transfer without compromising natural light. This technology is a primary contributor to the draft elimination and energy cost reductions documented across our completed installations.
Window Styling Choices
Best Construction, Inc. offers a full range of window configurations, each evaluated for its aesthetic contribution and functional performance within a given room and exposure.
Double-Hung Windows
Two independently operable sashes provide flexible ventilation control at the top and bottom of the frame, along with tilt-in sashes that simplify cleaning. A versatile choice for traditional Delaware home facades.
Sliding Windows
Horizontal-glide sashes operate on a track system, offering a low-maintenance, space-efficient solution for rooms where an outward-swinging sash is impractical, such as over countertops or patios.
Casement Windows
Crank-operated sashes seal tightly against the frame when closed, compressing the weatherstripping for superior resistance to air infiltration — a strong option for maximizing thermal performance.
Bay & Bow Windows
Multi-panel configurations extend outward from the exterior wall, increasing interior floor space and natural light while framing panoramic views. A distinguishing architectural feature for living and dining rooms.

Selecting replacement windows requires an objective evaluation of published performance data. Best Construction, Inc. reviews the following ratings with every homeowner before installation.
U-Factor
U-Factor measures the rate of non-solar heat transfer through a window assembly. Lower U-Factor values indicate stronger insulating performance — a critical specification given Delaware's cold winters and humid summers. Best Construction, Inc. selects products with U-Factor ratings suited to the Mid-Atlantic climate zone.
Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC)
SHGC quantifies the fraction of solar radiation admitted through a window as heat. A moderate SHGC balances winter solar gain against summer cooling load, a specification our team calibrates based on each home's orientation and sun exposure.
ENERGY STAR Certification
ENERGY STAR-certified windows meet U-Factor and SHGC thresholds established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the Northern-Central climate zone that includes Delaware. Best Construction, Inc. documents ENERGY STAR compliance on every replacement window project.
As a GAF Certified and Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, Best Construction, Inc. maintains ongoing training on manufacturer specifications and current energy-code requirements applicable to Kent and New Castle Counties. Every window replacement estimate includes documented U-Factor, SHGC, and ENERGY STAR data for the products recommended for a given home.
Dual Warranty Coverage
Best Construction, Inc. provides two distinct layers of protection on every window replacement project — coverage for the product itself and coverage for the quality of our installation.
Manufacturer Defect Warranty
Every window installed by Best Construction, Inc. is backed by the manufacturer's warranty covering material and product defects, including glass seal failure, hardware malfunction, and frame integrity — terms vary by product line and are provided in writing prior to installation.
Best Construction Workmanship Warranty
Independent of the manufacturer's coverage, Best Construction, Inc. warrants its own installation labor, addressing issues arising from fit, sealing, or workmanship. As a family-owned company with the owner present at every project, we stand behind the accuracy of our installation directly.
Claims Process
Homeowners submit a warranty claim by contacting our office directly. Our team inspects the reported issue, determines whether it falls under manufacturer or workmanship coverage, and coordinates resolution — with the appropriate manufacturer or our own crews — at no cost to the homeowner where covered.
