Struckdelay Windows & Siding is a referral service. We do not install windows. We take your request, confirm the basics, and route the call to an independent provider in our network. The provider measures, quotes, orders, and installs.
This service covers home window replacement for jobs of two or more windows. It does not cover single-window jobs or repairs. Replacement makes sense when glass has failed, frames have rotted, or the house runs hot and loud. In the Kenner area, strong sun, heavy rain, and storm season put windows under steady stress. Request a callback to talk through your project and check provider availability.
Is Replacement the Right Fix?
Start with the problem. If the glass is cracked, the frame is soft, or the sash will not close, replacement is usually the path. If one pane just needs a new seal or a latch, that is a repair. This page and our network cover replacement, not repair.
Two Windows Minimum
Providers in our network take replacement jobs of two or more windows. One window rarely justifies a trip, a custom order, and a crew. If you have a single bad window, check the rest of the house. Most homes have a second one close behind.
Urgent First: Broken or Open Windows
A smashed pane or a window that will not latch is a security and weather problem. Cover the opening with plywood or heavy plastic sheeting from the outside if you can do it safely. Then call.
Request a callback to check provider availability. Many providers can respond quickly, though timing depends on the provider and the season.
Urgent Next: Water at the Window
Water stains on the sill, bubbling paint, or damp drywall mean the window is leaking. During tropical storm season, wind-driven rain finds every gap. Wipe up water, put towels down, and take photos.
Some policies may cover sudden damage, so check your policy. Providers can often help document damage for a claim.
Fogged Glass and Failed Seals
Moisture trapped between two panes means the seal has failed. The gas fill is gone and the glass no longer insulates well. It is not an emergency, but it will not fix itself. Fogged units on the sunny side of the house usually fail first.
Signs the Windows Are Past Saving
Watch for these:
- Frames that are soft, warped, or rotted
- Sashes that stick, rattle, or will not stay up
- Drafts you can feel with your hand
- Cooling bills that climb while the system runs constantly
- Sun fading floors and furniture
- Noise from the street coming through
Two or three of these on several windows points to replacement.
Insert vs. Full-Frame Replacement
These are the two main methods. Knowing the terms saves time on the phone.
Insert Replacement
An insert, or pocket, window slides into the existing frame. The trim and outer finish stay. It is quicker and costs less. It works when the frame is square and sound.
Full-Frame Replacement
Full-frame means the provider removes everything down to the rough opening. That includes the old frame, trim, and flashing, which is the thin waterproof layer around the opening. Choose this when you see rot or water damage behind the window.
Frames and Glass for a Hot, Wet Climate
Frame Materials
Vinyl is common and holds up well in humidity. Fiberglass resists heat and swelling. Wood looks warm but needs upkeep. Aluminum is strong, but it conducts heat, so it is a weaker choice for hot attics and sunrooms.
Energy Efficient Windows
Look for low-E glass. Low-E is a thin coating that reflects heat while letting light in. Check the solar heat gain rating, which shows how much sun heat passes through. Lower numbers suit hot summers. Ask the provider for the rating on each quote.
Style and Impact Ratings
Double-hung, sliding, casement, and picture windows all work. Casements seal tightly. If you live where storm codes apply, ask whether impact-rated glass is required or worth adding.
What You Can Do Yourself
Some prep is safe for homeowners:
- Count the windows and note which rooms they are in
- Take photos of each problem from inside and outside
- Measure width and height roughly, for planning only
- Clear furniture and hang-ups a few feet from each window
- Check your policy if there is storm or impact damage
Measure, then quote. Do not order windows from your own tape-measure numbers.
What Needs a Provider
Removing old units, checking for hidden rot, flashing, shimming, sealing, and setting glass all call for tools and training. Large panes are heavy and can break. Second-story windows add fall risk. The provider does the work.
What Install Day Looks Like
The crew lays down floor protection and removes the old sash. They set the new unit level and square, then insulate and seal around it. Most installs take about a half day to a full day for a handful of windows. Expect some noise and dust.
Older Homes and Special Cases
Pier-and-beam houses can have shifted frames, so openings may not be square. Older homes may have wood frames with lead paint, which needs careful handling by the provider. Slab-on-grade ranches usually have standard openings, but hot attics and west-facing walls reward better glass. Arched and oversized windows are custom orders and take longer.
Questions to Ask the Provider
- Is the quote written and itemized?
- Is it insert or full-frame, and why?
- What are the U-factor and solar heat gain ratings?
- Who handles permits, if needed?
- What does the warranty cover, and for how long?
- How is old material hauled away?

No obligationWindow Replacement FAQ
How many windows do I need to replace to get a referral?
Providers in our network take jobs of two or more windows. A single window is usually not worth the trip and custom order, so we route replacement projects of at least two.
Should I choose insert or full-frame window replacement?
Insert fits into a sound existing frame and costs less. Full-frame removes everything to the rough opening, which is better when there is rot or water damage. The provider can tell you on site.
Do energy efficient windows really help in hot weather?
Low-E glass and good seals can reduce heat gain and drafts, which may ease cooling demands. Savings vary by home, sun exposure, and window count. Ask the provider for the ratings in writing.
