Upgrade Your Home with Energy-Efficient Retrofit Windows
At Wilson Glass & Screen, we specialize in retrofit window replacement for homeowners in Lakewood, CA, and the surrounding areas. If your current windows are drafty, outdated, or hard to open, retrofit installation offers a cost-effective way to enhance energy efficiency, comfort, and curb appeal—without disturbing your existing stucco or siding.
Retrofit (also called "insert" or "pocket") window replacement involves installing new windows into your existing frames. This method is less invasive than full-frame replacement and is ideal when your window frames are still in good condition.
✅ Energy Savings: Reduce heating and cooling costs year-round
✅ Clean Installation: No need to remove stucco, drywall, or trim
✅ Quick Turnaround: Faster and more affordable than full-frame replacements
✅ Noise Reduction: Helps block outside sound for a quieter home
✅ Modern Styles: Upgrade to low-E, dual-pane, or tinted glass options
