What We Did

  • 7 double hung windows
  • 3 picture windows
  • 2 awning windows

This 1960's home had some old drafty windows that needed to be replaced. It is a ranch style home that has its original drafty windows.


As an independent window contractor, we replaced them with many different kinds of windows in order to match the existing style of the home because we were not replacing every window in the house.


The biggest problem windows that we replaced were the bedroom windows which had an awning window at the bottom, which went all the way to the floor and a picture window on top of it, which reached the ceiling. These were great to let light into the house, but they were drafty and old and it was time to replace them.


So our carpenters installed Simonton Generations double hung, double pane windows that were a lot more energy efficient than the ones they had. The bottom sash had to have tempered glass because those windows were directly installed on the ground level.


Next, we installed 5 Norandex-Reynolds 3000 series double pane insulating windows in some of the bedrooms and living room. There was also 1 picture window installed in the living room.


The job was complete and the customer said this about our window installation "The guys were great and the windows look good."


They said they enjoyed working with our company and that they would gladly do so again if they needed an installer for out other services Roofing, Fiber-Cement Siding, Wood Siding, Vinyl Siding, Window Installer, or Painting Contractor.

There was significant peeling on some parts of the house, which needed a lot of scraping and sanding, but overall the house was in good shape. The house was finished with Sherwin Williams Superpaint in a blue for the siding and white for the trim. The last touch was a door that was installed in the front of the house. It was a Thermatru Smoothstar door that was very energy efficient and opened and closed a lot better than what they had.


Over the next few months the customer noticed how much warmer he front hallway was because of her front door, and then realized how bad her windows were in the rest of the house. She called us again to replace her windows and we did.

What We Did

  • Wood Window Replacement (Trimline®)
  • Moldings
  • Interior Painting

This condo unit in Boston had windows that were replaced in the 70's. These windows were out of date, did not conform the historical regulations for Commonwealth Ave and did nothing to insulate the interior from the elements. In addition, the windows that the historical commission approved had to be black exterior, true divided lite, real wood (not clad) windows. Additionally, they were over 90" tall. The owners decided to call us for help.


We removed the old low grade aluminum windows and installed new custom made double paned, low E glass, wood windows and trim that matched the existing.


To finish up our painters primed and painted the windows in our shop and applied another field coat after the installation. The interior was painted linen white semi gloss. The exterior was painted black satin. Now the condo unit is up to code, very well insulated, and blends in well with the rest of the building and neighborhood.
