Costs in Brandon typically range from $450–$950 per window and $1,200–$3,500 per exterior door, depending on product line, customization, and installation complexity. Vinyl windows (Pella 250 Series) offer the best value for standard replacements, while fiberglass (Pella Lifestyle) or wood-clad (Marvin) command premiums for durability and aesthetics. Key cost drivers include: impact-resistant glass upgrades (+25–40%), full-frame vs. insert installation (full-frame addresses structural issues but adds $150–300/unit), and custom sizes or shapes. Storm-damaged homes often qualify for insurance coverage—our team helps maximize claim value so out-of-pocket costs may be minimal. We always provide itemized quotes with no hidden fees, and 0% financing is available for qualified buyers. For a precise estimate, we recommend a free in-home assessment with digital measurements.

Most full-home window replacements in Brandon are completed in 2–4 days, while entry/ patio door upgrades take 1–2 days per unit. We work efficiently but never rush: crews arrive at 7:30 AM, protect your interiors with drop cloths and air scrubbers, and clean thoroughly each evening. You do not need to vacate—our low-dust methods and sealed work zones keep your living space comfortable. Timeline variables include: number of units (10 windows average: 3 days), product lead times (4–8 weeks for custom orders), and weather (we pause during high winds or rain for safety). For urgent storm repairs, we offer 72-hour emergency boarding and 2-week priority installation slots. All projects include a pre-installation checklist and daily progress updates via text—so you’re always informed, never surprised.

It depends on your home’s condition—and Mississippi’s humid climate often tips the scale toward full-frame. Insert installations (placing new units inside existing frames) cost less and preserve interior trim, but they only work if the original frame is structurally sound, square, and dry. In older Brandon homes (especially 1980s–90s builds), we routinely find hidden rot, termite damage, or moisture intrusion behind vinyl-clad wood frames—issues that worsen if sealed in. Full-frame replacements remove the entire unit down to the rough opening, allowing us to inspect and repair framing, add insulation, and install modern flashing systems compliant with current wind codes. If your windows show fogging, drafts at corners, or sills that feel soft/spongy, full-frame is likely needed. During your free consultation, we’ll use a moisture meter and boroscope to determine the safest, most cost-effective approach—no guesswork.

Surprisingly, late spring through early fall is ideal for most replacements in Mississippi—not because of weather, but because indoor-outdoor temperature differentials are minimal, reducing thermal shock on new seals. Summer installations are absolutely safe and common: our crews use shade tarps and work in stages (e.g., north side first) to minimize interior heat gain, and modern Low-E glass actually performs better when installed warm (sealants cure more evenly). Avoid scheduling during peak humidity (July–August afternoons) or active storm seasons (March–May, Nov) only if you’re sensitive to temporary air exposure—but with our rapid-install protocols, most homes have <30 minutes of open-wall time per unit. winter is viable too (dec–feb), but colder temps can extend caulk curing times. ultimately, waiting poses greater risk: damaged units degrade faster in summer heat, and storm season waits for no one. Schedule when you’re ready—we’ll handle the rest.

Yes—if damage is caused by a covered peril like hail, wind, tornado, or falling trees (not gradual wear). However, claims success hinges on documentation and adjuster negotiation. Many Brandon homeowners are denied or underpaid because they lack proof of sudden, accidental damage. Tekton Exteriors Mississippi includes free claim support: we provide timestamped storm reports, high-resolution damage photos, thermal images showing compromised seals, and manufacturer-certified scopes of loss. Critical tips: file within 1 year (Mississippi statute), don’t sign “scope acceptance” until reviewed by us, and insist on “like-kind-and-quality” replacement (e.g., impact glass if originals had it). Remember: depreciation is recoverable on replacement cost policies—our team helps ensure you get the full amount. For peace of mind, schedule a pre-storm assessment; it creates a baseline that strengthens future claims.
