Most Algoma window and door replacement projects are completed in 1–3 days — significantly faster than regional averages — thanks to Tekton Exteriors, Mississippi’s streamlined process and dedicated crews. Simple retrofits (insert replacements) on 8–12 standard windows often finish in a single day, while full-frame removals or multi-unit projects (e.g., entry door + 6 windows + patio door) may take 2–3 days. We minimize disruption by staging materials off-site, working methodically room-by-room, and cleaning thoroughly each evening. Timeline depends on: number of units, complexity (bay windows, custom shapes), frame repairs needed, and weather (we avoid exterior work during heavy rain). Critically, scheduling is predictable: once you approve your quote, we lock in a firm start date — no endless “we’ll call you” limbo. For storm-damaged homes, we prioritize emergency boarding within 24 hours and permanent replacement within 5–7 business days. Ready to upgrade without the wait? Let’s get you on the calendar.

Whether you need full-frame or retrofit window replacement in Algoma depends on your existing frame condition, window type, and performance goals — and Tekton Exteriors, Mississippi’s expert assessment determines the optimal path. Retrofit (pocket) installs are ideal when original wood or vinyl frames are structurally sound, square, and free of rot — common in homes built after 1990. They’re faster, less invasive, and preserve interior/exterior trim. However, if frames show water damage, warping, or poor flashing (frequent in older Algoma homes near Sardis Lake), full-frame replacement is essential to restore structural integrity and prevent future leaks. Full-frame also allows upgrading to larger glass area or different styles (e.g., double-hung to casement). Our evaluation includes moisture meter readings, laser-level checks, and visual inspection of sheathing — so you get the right solution, not the cheapest. Most Algoma projects mix both methods: retrofits where possible, full-frame where needed. Let us assess your home’s specific needs.

Yes — in most cases, Mississippi homeowners insurance does cover storm-damaged windows and doors, but only if you document the damage properly and work with an experienced contractor like Tekton Exteriors, Mississippi. Hail, wind, or tornado impacts that crack glass, warp frames, or compromise seals are typically covered under dwelling protection (Coverage A), especially if damage occurred within the past 12–24 months. However, insurers often deny claims citing “wear and tear” — so immediate, professional documentation is critical. We help Algoma homeowners by: 1) Providing free storm inspections with time-stamped photos/videos, 2) Generating Haag-certified damage reports, 3) Meeting with your adjuster to advocate for full replacement (not patch repairs), and 4) Ensuring upgrades meet current code (e.g., impact-resistant glazing in high-wind zones). Note: deductibles apply, but we offer financing to bridge the gap. Don’t wait — storm damage claims have strict filing windows. Contact us within 72 hours of damage for best results.

The best window material for your Algoma home balances performance, maintenance, aesthetics, and budget — and Tekton Exteriors, Mississippi helps you navigate these trade-offs based on Mississippi’s climate realities. Vinyl (e.g., Pella Lifestyle) offers excellent value: low maintenance, strong energy efficiency, and 20+ year durability — ideal for budget-conscious homeowners or rental properties. Fiberglass (e.g., Marvin Modern) provides superior strength, thermal stability (no warping in humidity), and paintability — perfect for contemporary homes or high-exposure locations. Wood-clad (e.g., Andersen 400 Series) delivers classic beauty with exterior durability (aluminum or vinyl cladding) and interior warmth — favored for historic or high-end residences. Key considerations: Algoma’s humidity makes all-wood interiors prone to swelling unless meticulously maintained; vinyl can expand slightly in extreme heat (we use reinforced frames to counter this); fiberglass has the highest R-value but premium pricing. During your consultation, we’ll match materials to your home’s style, orientation, and long-term plans — no pressure, just expert guidance.
