Elevated Remodeling has published a new guide for Philadelphia homeowners on the advantages, disadvantages, and costs of upgrading their homes with double-hung replacement windows.

Newark, United States, March 4, 2025 -- Elevated Remodeling’s recently released guide has been written to help homeowners make informed decisions about the suitability of double-hung replacement windows, given Philadelphia’s variable climate, with its hot, humid summers and cold, sometimes snowy winters.

The company explains how the design of double-hung windows, featuring two movable sashes at the top and bottom, allows homeowners better control over internal ventilation. They can open the top sash to let warm air escape or the bottom to let in cool air, which can be especially beneficial during Philadelphia’s muggy springs and summers.

The guide also outlines the various material options available to Philadelphia homeowners, based on their preferences for aesthetics, maintenance, and energy efficiency. For example, wood is aesthetically appealing but also requires regular maintenance, while vinyl is affordable, energy-efficient, and low-maintenance.

Homeowners with larger renovation budgets may prefer fiberglass for its durability, whereas those who prioritize ease of use may prefer aluminum’s light weight. Those looking for durability, energy efficiency, and style may choose a hybrid material that combines wood’s classic look with vinyl’s weather resistance and superior insulating properties.

With a variety of materials and styles available, Philadelphia homeowners have numerous options to suit their architectural preferences, whether they favor historic or modern designs. Moreover, as the guide describes, double-hung replacement windows offer several other benefits: reduced heating and cooling costs, thanks to their energy efficiency; flexible ventilation to accommodate the city’s changeable climate; and easy cleaning.

While highlighting the benefits of double-hung windows, the Elevated Remodeling team also cautions Philadelphia homeowners to weigh their potential drawbacks. These considerations include air leakage, lubrication needs, higher initial costs, and narrower openings compared to other types of windows.

In addition to their disadvantages, the cost of double-hung windows is another important consideration. According to Elevated Remodeling, prices in Philadelphia vary according to material, size, and installation, with average costs ranging from $450 to $650 per window.

“Window replacement is a significant investment, so you’ll want a contractor who can get it done right the first time,” a company representative says. “At Elevated Remodeling, we are a top choice for homeowners in Philadelphia for home improvement projects like window replacement, thanks to our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.”
