Quality Touch Remodeling installs replacement windows for homeowners throughout Riverdale and Clayton County. We’re headquartered in Suwanee and have worked extensively across the south metro, where aging brick ranch homes often have windows that are decades past their useful life. If you’re ready to get started, our window replacement page covers every product and service we offer.
Most calls we get from Riverdale homeowners start the same way: high utility bills, a window that sticks or won’t latch, or visible fogging between the panes. These aren’t maintenance issues you can patch. They’re signs that the window has reached the end of its lifespan, and replacement is the most cost-effective path forward. Our team handles the full project from measurement to cleanup, with no work subbed out to outside crews.
Why Riverdale Homeowners Replace Their Windows
Riverdale’s residential neighborhoods developed primarily between the 1960s and the early 1990s. The median home in this part of Clayton County was built around 1990, which means most original windows are now 30 to 60 years old. Windows from those decades used aluminum frames and single-pane glass, with minimal weatherstripping. That combination performs poorly by any modern standard.
The south metro area experiences long, hot summers and periodic winter cold snaps that push older windows hard. Aluminum frames conduct heat and cold directly into your home, which forces your HVAC system to work harder than it should. Homes near Hartsfield-Jackson face an added heat island effect from surrounding commercial and industrial development, which makes efficient windows even more important for keeping cooling costs in check.
Window failures in older Riverdale homes tend to compound over time. Original glazing compound cracks and separates. Wood sills rot from years of condensation buildup. Aluminum frames oxidize and warp slightly, leaving gaps that leak both air and water. At that point, replacement windows with vinyl frames and double-pane glass solve multiple problems at once, not just energy efficiency.
What We Install
We install Energy Star certified double-pane vinyl windows built for Climate Zone 3, which covers all of Clayton County and the Atlanta metro. Each window includes low-e glass coating and argon gas fill, which together slow heat transfer through the glass. Vinyl frames don’t conduct heat, rust, or require painting. Our standard installation price is $680 per window, fully installed.
That price includes everything: the window unit, removal and disposal of your existing windows, shimming and leveling, interior and exterior trim work, and complete caulking and sealing. We offer financing options for larger projects, with no impact to your credit score when you check your rate.
Our Installation Process
The process starts with a free in-home estimate. We come to your Riverdale home, measure each window opening precisely, and give you a fixed price in writing before any work begins. Our 40 Day Estimate to Install Guarantee means we complete your project within 40 days of your signed agreement. No indefinite waitlists, no vague timelines.
On installation day, our crew arrives with windows fabricated to your exact measurements. We remove your old windows, install each new unit, and seal all four sides with our triple weatherstrip barrier system. That system delivers 50% more weather protection than the standard two-strip method and keeps both air and water out year-round. Most Riverdale homes are fully done in a single day.

Windows and Doors for Riverdale Homes
The dominant architectural style in Riverdale is the brick-faced ranch, with wide single-story facades and shallow rooflines. These homes were typically built with double-hung windows throughout, sometimes with a larger fixed picture window in the living room. That combination is straightforward to replace and works well with our standard double-hung vinyl units in white or almond frames.
Some Riverdale homes from the 1970s still have original jalousie windows in screened porches or utility rooms. We replace those with fixed or casement units that actually seal against the weather. For homeowners looking to replace both windows and exterior doors, we install fiberglass entry doors and sliding patio doors as part of our door replacement program. Fiberglass holds up against the heat and humidity that Clayton County gets every summer.
Why Quality Touch
Every installer we send is a Quality Touch employee, trained and certified by us. We don’t use subcontractors or bring in crews we don’t know. In older Clayton County homes where rough opening dimensions often don’t match current standard sizes, this matters. Our installers know how to handle the framing variations common in homes from the 1970s and 1980s without creating new problems around the opening.
All of our installations carry a lifetime warranty on both materials and labor. If anything fails, we return and fix it at no charge. There’s no expiration date and no clause that excludes workmanship defects. We’ve been working in metro Atlanta for over 15 years, and that warranty is one we intend to stand behind.
Our triple weatherstrip barrier system sets us apart from standard installers. Most companies seal windows with two-strip weatherstripping. We use three, which delivers 50% more protection against air infiltration and water intrusion. In a home that’s been leaking air around single-pane aluminum frames for 40 years, that difference is noticeable immediately after installation.
Our Energy Star certification for Climate Zone 3 means the windows we install meet the specific performance thresholds Georgia’s climate demands. That certification also makes our windows eligible for federal energy efficiency tax credits, which can offset part of your project cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does window replacement cost in Riverdale?
Our installations start at $680 per window, fully installed. That covers the window unit, removal of your existing windows, installation with all shimming and trim work, and complete sealing. Final pricing depends on the number of windows and any non-standard rough opening sizes in your home.
Are older Riverdale homes harder to rewindow because of non-standard sizes?
Homes built in the 1960s and 1970s in Clayton County often have opening dimensions that don’t match current stock window sizes. We take precise measurements before fabrication, so each window is custom-built to your specific opening. There’s no additional charge for non-standard sizes in our standard installation process.
How long will the installation take?
Most single-family homes in Riverdale are finished in one day. A full replacement of 10 to 15 windows typically takes six to eight hours. We schedule morning start times so your home is fully sealed and weather-tight before we leave.
Do new windows actually reduce energy bills in this part of Georgia?
Yes, especially in homes with original aluminum-frame single-pane windows. The switch to double-pane low-e vinyl significantly reduces heat transfer through the glass and eliminates the air leakage that aluminum frames develop over time. The actual reduction in your bills depends on how leaky your current windows are and how your home is insulated overall.
Can I get financing without a hard credit check?
Yes. We offer financing options that let you check your rate without a hard pull on your credit report. This is a common path for Riverdale homeowners doing multi-window projects who prefer to spread the cost over time. Visit our financing page for current terms and options.
Do you serve other parts of Clayton County?
Yes. We work throughout Clayton County, including Jonesboro, Forest Park, Morrow, Lake City, and Rex. We also cover nearby Henry County communities like Stockbridge and McDonough. If you’re unsure whether we serve your location, call us and we’ll confirm.
