When summer arrives, most homeowners prepare by cranking up the air conditioning, stocking up on cold drinks, and pulling down the blinds. But if your home still feels like a greenhouse by mid-afternoon, the real culprit might be staring right back at you: your old, drafty windows.
Upgrading to modern, energy-efficient windows is one of the smartest moves you can make to prepare for the peak of the warm season. Here is why new windows are the perfect summer upgrade for your home.
During the summer, old single-pane or poorly sealed windows act like magnifying glasses, allowing solar heat to penetrate your living space. This phenomenon forces your air conditioning system to work overtime, leading to spiked utility bills and unnecessary wear and tear on your HVAC unit.
Modern windows utilize advanced technologies to combat this heat gain:
Low-E Glass Coatings: This microscopic, invisible metallic layer reflects infrared heat away from your house, letting the beautiful sunlight in while keeping the baking heat out. We use 4 layers of low-e coating to make it even more energy efficient.Â
Argon Gas Fills: Denser than air, this safe gas is sealed between double or triple glass panes to create a powerful thermal barrier, locking the cool air inside. At Conservation Construction we use argon gas fill to ensure that you get the best insulation possible.Â
Have you ever noticed that sitting near a specific window in July makes you feel like you're sitting next to a campfire? Old windows create inconsistent indoor temperatures and uncomfortable hot spots. High-quality replacement windows feature precision weatherstripping and airtight seals, ensuring that your home maintains a consistent, refreshing temperature from room to room.
The summer sun is relentless, and its powerful ultraviolet (UV) rays can wreak havoc on your home’s interior. Over time, unfiltered sunlight will fade expensive hardwood floors, bleach carpets, and ruin your favorite furniture fabrics. Our new windows equipped with Low-E coatings act like sunglasses for your home, blocking up to 95% of harmful UV rays to preserve your interior decor.
Summer brings plenty of neighborhood activity—from lawnmowers and barking dogs to outdoor parties and increased traffic. Because modern windows are built with thicker, multi-pane glass and superior insulation, they pull double duty by significantly dampening outside noise. When you shut your new windows, you instantly create a quiet, tranquil sanctuary.
Don't spend another summer fighting a losing battle against rising temperatures and climbing electric bills. Investing in new windows transforms your home into a cool, energy-efficient, and comfortable retreat just in time for the sunniest days of the year. Contact us today for your free quote!Â

Conservation home windows once again redefine the standard for energy savings, year round comfort, and ease of maintenance.
Conservation Construction searched extensively for a manufacturing partner to develop our home windows who would incorporate the numerous exclusive enhancements we knew were necessary to build a window that would meet the challenges facing Colorado homeowners. People who live in Colorado know they need a window that is able to withstand extreme heat and extreme cold, sometimes in the same day, sometimes within the same hour. That's what we've engineered with our amazing Windows. You'll get extreme strength and protection during any season.
Our Windows come with 4 layers of protective coating. These special layers of silver bounce harsh UV rays back outward keeping your home a more stable room temperature all year round. Our Easy Clean Coating on every window we produce works with that sun to decompose organic matter off the glass so your windows stay clean for life. We also include a specialized Argon Gas Fill which insulates better than air and protects against air infiltration.
Lastly, we have custom bottom drains on every window so water never sits and causes problems like warping or cracking. In addition, our windows are filled with foam on the sides and top of the fame for better insulation too. People who choose Conservation Construction windows can see an average savings of up to 40% off their total energy bill. You won’t find a better insulating window on the market.Â
Customize your home's windows the way you want them. Choose your color, style and even how they operate. Not only will new windows increase the curb appeal of your home, but they are guaranteed to increase home value. When it comes time to sell you may even be able to ask for a higher price.Â

Your Carbon Footprint
In a world where everybody is getting more environmentally conscious it’s good to know that companies like Conservation Construction make products that save energy and can help the environment. In today’s world you can buy hybrid cars, use less plastic, and even get windows which help with your energy costs and reduce greenhouse emissions. Let’s go over some of the ways windows, siding and doors are changing the world . . .
Not only do energy efficient products save you a ton of money on your energy bills, they also help the world. With energy efficient products you can reduce greenhouse gas emissions from your home and from the power plants. If everybody were to jump on board and get new windows we could reduce the world’s overall carbon footprint.
Switching to new windows alone can reduce the annual household’s carbon footprint by up to 12% compared to non-energy efficient products. In addition, energy efficient windows can save between 246-2001 pounds of CO2 a year (equivalent to 13 to 102 gallons of gasoline). On top of helping out our environment, new windows can save you anywhere between 126$ to 465$ a year on energy costs - which will also make you a happier person.
Siding replacement is a very eco-friendly option. Siding not only reduces your carbon footprint by creating a better energy efficiency for your home, some siding like Vinyl can be installed over most existing exterior substrates to reduce waste. Fiber Cement Siding, which is also available through Conservation Construction, is one of the most Eco-Friendly siding types on the market today. Fiber cement siding emits fewer toxins when destroyed and is made from natural materials like wood-pulp and sand.
New energy efficient entry doors and patio doors work the same way as new windows and siding. Doors from Conservation Construction can reduce your energy costs by up to 40%. That’s a huge saving on your energy bill and can help reduce even more carbon emissions.
Energy Efficient products are always on top ten lists for ways to reduce your carbon footprint. If you have energy efficient exteriors like siding, windows, and new doors this will prevent energy from escaping your home and reduce your overall need to turn up and down the thermostat.
We can all do our part in little ways to help conserve energy and your carbon footprint. Let Conservation Construction do all the heavy lifting for you. We give you a free quote and have our expert teams install the products so you won’t even have to lift a finger. Get your free quote online by clicking here. Please comment below with what your favorite fact of this article was. We hope you’ve learned a lot of energy efficiency and ways to help reduce your carbon footprint.
Happy Monday to all reading this article. As we ramp up for an entire new week we thought we'd give you an article to distract yourself from the Monday blues.Â
In today’s article we’re talking about the differences in Window Replacement VS Window Repair. The average person might not think that there is a huge difference between the two. After working in the window replacement business for the past two years let me tell you there is a huge difference. So, let’s jump into today’s article and learn all about it.
So why is it that the typical person needs a Replacement Window/Repair Window? It’s usually because their window isn’t functioning properly. Either they have condensation stuck between the glass, they have cracked glass, the window doesn’t open properly, or the locks don’t work. In the situation in my own house all of the above were happening at once. If you have any one of these problems it’s a tell-tale it’s time to replace.Â
So what’s the deal with repair or replacement? There are clear distinctive differences. Repair companies typically just put new panes of glass inside the windows. Repair companies can fix non-sliding window frame problems too. These repairs can make the original windows look almost brand new, but here’s where the issues come in . . . they are not brand new windows at all. The problems that were there before are still problems, but just masked over problems.Â
If repair companies replace the glass with insulated glass coatings and reseal the window, that doesn't give you optimal energy efficiency because they are not filling the windows with specialty gases. These gases give optimal insulation and energy efficiency, without them your old windows won’t insulate as well as Replacement Windows. On top of this, re-caulking and weather stripping the windows looks nice, but it’s not guaranteed to keep the seal for very long.Â
The final difference in just repairing or replacing is a doozy. This is a definite Pay Attention moment for the article before simply repairing your windows. Old frames that were used throughout the 50’s-80’s and even into the early 90’s used Aluminum or Metal frames.
This is a huge red flag in the repair world. You don’t want to simply repair old metal frames because metal frames will effectively just make the problems with your old windows come back. Let me state that again. Metal frames will just make you have the same problems you’ve had before like condensation, cracking glass, and overall wonky windows. Why is this? It’s simple . . . Metal conducts heat. When the sun shines into your windows, the metal is contracting and expanding with the heat. This causes window seals and glass to become shifted and loose within those frames. It wouldn’t be very long before these problems started to arise once again.Â
Our advice is to spend even a little bit more on Window Replacement. There is a reason Conservation Construction utilizes Vinyl window frames and double paned windows with energy efficient glass. Unlike metal or rotting wood, the frames hold up to extreme temperatures and weather. Heck, we even back all of our windows by Lifetime Warranties to ensure longevity, ease of operation, and lower energy bills.Â
Our Vinyl windows have;
It’s all of these things working together that give you a window that is able to withstand drastic fast temperature changes and every day wear and tear with ease. Ease of operation is something all homeowners should enjoy in their own home. You shouldn’t have to struggle just to get your windows open, and you won’t have to with a Conservation Window.Â
The most extraordinary and second Pay Attention moment for this article is this. We cut the windows to fit when we install them at your house. You might have thought you read something wrong there, but you didn’t. Our expert installers come and measure each window individually. We then custom make your windows from scratch in our warehouse in Loveland Colorado. The frame is cut down on site during installation to fit snugly inside your home. This means you get the tightest seal possible for your windows with little to no air infiltration possible. The result is that over the life of the window you’ll get optimal energy efficiency and a more stable room temperature all year round. The average homeowner who chooses Conservation Construction has seen a typical savings of up to 40% off their energy bills.Â
So the differences in repairing your windows versus replacing them are huge. We hope you’ve learned a bit from today’s article. Remember the key facts, repairing doesn’t always fix the problem because the same issues may arise later on. Replacing windows give you longevity, ease of operation, efficiency and beauty.

We hope everybody enjoys this little article I’ve put together for you on this fine Friday. Today we’ll cover different windows in art throughout history. For those of you thinking this could be a long article, just remember that we’re doing a very brief overview and you’ll get to look at some pretty art like this . . .Â
For those of you unfamiliar with this piece it was painted by Leonardo da Vinci. He began painting what would be one of history's most influential works of art, The Last Supper, in 1495. The painting was made using experimental pigments directly on the dry plaster wall and unlike frescos, where the pigments are mixed with the wet plaster, it has not stood the test of time well. Even before it was finished there were problems with the paint flaking from the wall and Leonardo had to repair it. Over the years it has crumbled, been vandalized bombed and restored. Today we are probably looking at very little of the original.
There are some beautiful windows in the background that add lots of natural light to the picture. These look like picture windows. A picture window (which we sell here at Conservation Construction) is a large window in a house. Picture windows usually dominate the room or wall in which it is located, and are often designed or placed to present an attractive view. Picture windows offer clear unobstructed views, and I think we're seeing something similar in this painting.Â
Let's move on to just after the Italian Renaissance. Women started to become more influential artists of the time. This painting, done by Marie Denise Villers from France 1801, show the wide range with which women had begun painting. I chose to showcase this piece because of the haunting nature of the girls eyes, and the use of light throughout the painting. Not to mention that it has some amazing windows in the background too. The windows here look like casement windows. Casement windows use a crank to open and they are great for letting in big breezes and clear views.Â
Van Gogh painted his first Bedroom just after moving into his beloved “Yellow House”—the first place that truly felt like home—in Arles, France, in 1888. He was very pleased with the painting and delighted that artist Paul Gauguin, who moved in a week later, admired it as well. Full of colors inspired by the theories of Neo-Impressionist painter Georges Seurat, this painting is a very faithful depiction of Van Gogh’s bedroom at the time, down to the portraits that appear on the wall. It is now in the collection of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. Most new modern windows don't open and shut from the middle like this picture depicts, but double hung windows open on both the top and bottom to get a similar feeling which these types of windows would have offered.Â
Expressionism: rooted in the turn of the century and inspired by the likes of Vincent van Gogh, 20th century art form sought to highlight the expression of emotion and the artist’s inner vision rather than pursue an exact representation of nature. Essentially, it became the precursor for many 20th century trends. You can see these trends in the paintings below.Â
The next featured image is from one of my favorite artists of the 19th century, Claude Monet. Monet's paintings of his water-garden and water-lilies at Giverny occupied him for many years in the latter part of his life and were his last great works. By the end of 1890 Monet was making enough from the sales of his pictures to buy his house at Giverny outright and soon after began improvements to the garden which included the formation of a pond from a marshy tract by damming a stream that ran into the river Epte. He painted Garden Path at Giverny in 1902. There is phenomenal use of color throughout the image, and touches of windows can be seen in his house.Â
Rene Magritte painted The Human Condition in 1933. Two of Magritte's favored themes were the "window painting" and the "painting within a painting." The Human Condition is one of Magritte's earliest treatments of either subject, and in it he combines the two, making what may be his most subtle and profound statement of their shared meaning. We're most likely looking at single hung window here. Today single hung windows are the most common and versatile windows of our time. They open on the bottom, and most single hung windows are extremely durable and energy efficient.Â
Finally, we move into 21st century art. Art of the 21st century emerges from a vast variety of materials and means. Many artists regularly and freely mix media and forms, making the choices that best serve their concepts and purposes.
There are an amazing array of windows featured in this painting! It just goes to show that windows are a part of everyday life and can be seen everywhere you look. It's important to take care of our windows in case some person spontaneously decides to paint our home. I also like his use of color too.
Here's a mix of modern and ancient techniques with new stained glass windows..

Some people like the grid look and some do not. One thing is for sure when we live in the state of Colorado you should always check with your HOA, if you have one, to make sure they don’t have some sort of regulation.Â
I’m one of those people who don’t like the grid look, but I moved into a community that makes all the houses have grids. Yep, grids were just part of the requirement when I got my windows placed a couple years back. This is just one example of why it’s good to check with your HOA before you get anything done to your house to make sure you’re not violating any regulations. I know HOA’s are kind of a hassle from first hand experience, and I’m sure some other Colorado homeowners know this too.Â
Secondly, if you really don’t like the grid pattern look, you don’t have to have it. If you have old windows with a grid and would like to change them out for a more sleek plain glass design, you can choose that. As long as we have the measurements for your home, Conservation Construction can build you a window that has no grid at all. We have double hung windows, bay windows, pictures windows, and more. We want your window to be perfect right to left top to bottom.Â
Let’s say you like the grids. That works out well too because we can match any existing pattern you have in your window already. Our estimators are excellent at getting you just what you are looking for.Â
Conservation windows are not just more functional than your old windows they are extremely energy efficient too. Our windows have been known to save the average homeowner up to 40% off their total energy costs. That’s because of all the exclusive features we put into the windows like our Low-E Glass Coating which gives you high visibility and thermal control. You get to keep the blinds open without losing any energy efficiency. Our Conservation Windows also include a specialty Easy Clean Glass Coating that uses the power of the sun to decompose organic matter from the glass. This means you’ll get gorgeous clear views for the life of the windows.Â
Our panes of glass are sealed and filled with two types of gas Argon. This gas is a better insulator than air alone, and it provides you even more energy efficiency for your window.Â
Replacing windows is a skill that requires years of practice. We have the installers with the experience to get your windows installed the right way the first time. We also provide lifetime warranties to ensure that your window will truly stand the test of time.Â
To finish things up, remember that you can always choose between grids or no grids. At Conservation Construction you truly get the window of your dreams without the hassle. With A Conservation Window you’ll get better insulation, lower energy bills, and clearer views. Call us today or go online here for your free estimate. Thanks for reading today’s article and comment below on what your dream window would look like.Â
There are several reasons you would have window tinting on your home windows now. Sometimes you put tint on your windows to get better efficiency, and realize you are sick of it blocking the views. Sometimes you buy a house with window tinting and you didn’t even want it to begin with. One thing is for sure, if you have found this article you are wanting a way to get rid of the window tinting fast.Â
Lucky for you, I’ve got several quick solutions to getting rid of that old window tinting.Â
For more helpful homeowner tips, check out our blogs, How To Get Your Home Ready For Winter and What Do You Get With Window Replacement?, to learn how to protect your home and maximize your window investment.Â
In conclusion, there are ways to remove tinting from the windows in your home; razors, ammonia, scraping, and soaking the windows are all great ideas. If you want to skip the hassle, you can get new windows from Conservation Construction so you can get optimal views and thermal protection all at once. If you would like to inquire about new windows please visit us online or call us by phone. Thanks for reading today’s article! Please comment below about your own window tinting struggles.Â
Windows in your house should offer the clearest picture while protecting and insulating. If you can’t have both things then what is the point of getting new windows, am I right? So which windows give you the clearest picture possible while still providing thermal control? I’m glad you asked . . . That’s our line of windows for sure, the Conservation Windows!Â
Why are we the clear choice for window replacement? We have a specialized Neat Glass Coating. Why is this important? Because Easy Clean Glass Coating sits on the glass for life and works with the sun transforming its powerful UV rays into energy. That energy creates a chemical reaction with the coating that decomposes debris from the glass. Does this mean my windows can literally clean themselves? Yes, in fact, that’s a big YES! You must be thinking, holy cow! Well, that’s the reaction I had when I first heard about this extraordinary glass. Who wouldn’t want naturally clean windows? That was a trick question, of course, because everyone wants to clean less. If you choose the Conservation window that’s just what you’ll get. I don’t think I have to tell you that Less Cleaning may=a happier you! (I say “may” because some people actually like to clean.)Â
 That’s right, our windows have extreme high visibility along with thermal control. Your house will be protected from the harmful UV rays without obstructing the views like a window tinting service would provide. I’ve always thought it was weird that you had to compromise one thing (clear views) to get the other (solar control). With new Conservation windows you don't have to compromise on anything. You’ll be able to let all that sun inside to warm your heart, but it will not destabilize the room temperature of your home.Â
We make it easy for you to get new windows. That’s because we come to you to get your free estimate done. We bring all the style options as well! You can get the window your heart desires! We then measure the windows while we’re there, and get pricing at the same time! Doesn’t this seem like we’re magicians taking care of all of this in one appointment? From then on, it’s solid communication throughout the entire process. You get to pick the installation date that works with your schedule. So, in reality, you choose everything. Isn’t that what you want in this type of purchase?Â
Unlike our windows, our warranty is not translucent. It’s a Lifetime Limited Warranty to ensure that you have the best windows for life. I mean, “Lifetime” is in the name of our warranty. How much better could it get than that?Â
To learn more about our background and what sets us apart, read our blog, Interesting Facts About Conservation Construction, and discover the story behind our commitment to quality.Â
Our final thoughts might be the same as yours: how can I book my free estimate now? That’s as simple as clicking request your free estimate or calling us at 303-237-1687. Windows like this really shouldn’t wait, should they? Of course not!
Please keep in mind that our windows have the “Clearest Picture” and are the "Clear Choice" when you're deciding on replacement windows. Remember our windows practically clean themselves, have clear views, and are extremely energy efficient. Conservation Construction has great warranties, and our customer service is impeccable.Â
At Denver International Airport they do security screens for potentially harmful items. They do this to everyone. Here at Conservation Construction we take the same concept and apply it to our window screens. Bugs aren’t a threat to national security, but they sure are a nuisance. Our Windows Screens keep out all the bugs so you have an easy breezy time all year round.Â
Take my old windows for instance. I had no screens left (as the windows were from the 1980’s). I couldn’t even hardly get them open because the slide mechanisms were broken. Bugs would fly into our home on a daily basis. Everybody knows what a hassle it can be to try to get them out, swat them, or wait for them to die.Â
So what makes our Window Screens so special? I’m glad you inquired about this, because it is a fantastic question to start asking when researching new windows. You want to make sure before you purchase new windows that the screens will hold up over time too, just like the window should.Â
What makes our window screens so special is their fit. Our screens are made to fit perfectly in the window frame. This means there is no gaping on the sides. It also means not even the tiniest bugs can make it through the sides. In addition, our new ultra fine fibers that make up this screen are much less visible to the naked eye. It’s almost as if these screens disappear when you open the windows. Finally, these smaller fiber sizes make for a tighter weaves and smaller openings in the screen. This allows for more brightness into the home and less pests that can enter.Â
 So if you need a casement window, double hung, or an entire house of replacement windows our screens have got you covered. You can let all the breezes in without any of the bugs!Â
On top of this, the screens pop out with ease to ensure you can clean the bottom of your windows with little to no effort. You can even pop them out from inside your home so you don’t need a ladder to get outside and do it. Additionally, every component on our windows is backed by Lifetime Limited Warranties. If anything ever happens to the window it’s covered under the warranty.Â
If your home is stuck with old windows which are hard to open and are missing screens, you may want to consider getting new windows which are easy to function and energy efficient. After I changed out my windows I could literally open them and let the breezes in without getting bugs.
In conclusion, new windows will give you wonderful breezes without all the bugs. New windows can give you energy efficiency while providing functionality. You just can’t go wrong with a Window or Window Screen. Our screens have better fibers which protect more and are harder to see.
