When you sit down to do your budget, you hate designating so much money toward utilities. You have about a thousand other ways you’d rather spend your money—and we don’t blame you.

Whether you’re new to the area or are deciding to put down roots, we’re so glad you’ve decide to make Connecticut your home. Buying a new house (whether it’s completely new or new to you) is exciting, and you want your new place to be just perfect. However, if you’re purchasing an older home, it may come with a bit of a to-do list. If one of those items on your list is new windows, Clinton Glass can help you out.
Home remodeling isn’t cheap, and you want to use your remodeling budget wisely. But how do you decide between functional fixes (like window replacement) and design upgrades (like those hardwood floors you’ve been eyeing)?

These features are certainly more “showy” than a new roof or replacement windows.

From rubber weather stripping to CT replacement windows, there are plenty of ways to make sure your home is winter-ready.
