The windows
Windows.
Premium vinyl replacement windows, ordered to the size of your openings and installed by our own crew. Here is what comes in every one, and which style fits which room.
Built in
What is in every window.
Tap a number. Each part shows you what it does.
1 of 8
Frame
Multi-chamber vinyl. It does not need paint and it does not rot.
2 of 8
Glass
Two panes with a Low-E coat come standard. Low-E sends heat back toward where it came from. Triple-pane is available.
3 of 8
Between the panes
Argon gas. It is denser than air, so less heat moves through the glass.
4 of 8
Spacer
A spacer runs around the edge of the glass. It holds the two panes apart and seals the argon in.
5 of 8
Lock
A cam lock on the meeting rail. One turn pulls the two sashes together and holds them there.
6 of 8
Sill and weep holes
A sloped sill with weep holes. Water that gets in runs back out.
7 of 8
Screen
A screen on the half that opens. It comes out from inside when you want to clean it.

Sashes and tilt latches
On a double hung both sashes move. The bottom one lifts, the top one slides down, and both tilt into the room so you clean the outside glass from inside the house. Slide the two latches on the top rail toward the middle and the sash tilts in.

The lineup
Pick your style.
Each opening gets the style that fits the room. Not sure? We walk the house with you and say what we would put where.
Double hung
The classic. Both sashes slide and tilt in, so you clean the outside glass from inside. Single hung is available too.
Best for: Bedrooms and living rooms.

Slider
Two or three lites that glide side to side. Wide and low, easy to reach over a counter or a couch.
Best for: Kitchens, dens, wide openings.
See slider windows
Casement
Cranks out like a door and seals tight against the frame when it closes.
Best for: Over sinks and hard to reach spots.
See casement windows
Awning
Hinged at the top and opens out from the bottom, so a little rain stays outside.
Best for: Bathrooms, basements, above a picture window.
See awning windows
Picture
Does not open. All glass, all view, and the most light for the opening.
Best for: Big views, paired with openers.

Two ways in
Full-frame or pocket.
Two ways to put a new window in. We look at each opening and pick the right one.
Pocket install
New window, old frame.
The old sashes come out and the new window sets into the frame that is already there. Your trim and walls stay put. A good fit when the old frame is solid.
Full-frame install
Down to the opening.
The whole old window comes out, frame and all. We can see what is behind it and fix it before the new one goes in. The pick when there is rot or damage.
Either way
Sealed and cleaned up.
We set it, seal it, check that it opens and locks right, and haul the old units away.
Signs it is time
Is it time?
If any of these sound like your house, it is worth a look. The visit costs nothing.
- Fog or water between the panes.
- Sashes that stick, or will not stay up on their own.
- Drafts you can feel standing next to the glass.
- Soft or rotted wood at the sill.
- Rooms that bake in the afternoon sun.
- Street noise you can hear from the couch.
Which one is yours?
We will tell you at the house. The quote costs nothing and there is no obligation.
