Window Installation in Raleigh, NC

There is one room in the house that is always too hot or too cold, and you have stopped expecting anything different. Or you have noticed the glass in a couple of windows looks cloudy no matter how you clean it. Old windows fail slowly enough that most people just adapt around them, paying for it every month in cooling bills instead of fixing it once. We will come measure and give you a free number, and we will tell you honestly which windows are worth replacing first.

What Window Problems Do You Have?

Fog or haze between the panes is the clearest sign. That means the seal on a double pane unit has failed and the insulating gas is gone. Cleaning will never fix it.

Then there is drafts you can feel with your hand near the frame on a cold morning, condensation running down the inside of the glass, and a room that is five degrees off from the rest of the house. Windows that stick, will not stay up, or do not lock properly are usually racked frames, which means the seal is compromised too. Rot in a wooden sash or sill, soft spots in the frame, and cracked or missing glazing all belong on the list.

Sound is a sign people miss. If you can hear normal traffic or a neighbor's mower clearly through a closed window, the glass and seal are not doing their job.

Our Window Services

Window replacement is the bulk of what we do, swapping failed units in an existing home. Custom window installation covers odd sizes, arched openings and older Raleigh homes where nothing off the shelf fits, plus new openings being cut into a wall.

On the glass itself, energy-efficient windows with low-E coatings are worth real money in a Raleigh summer, and double pane window installation is the baseline we would recommend to anybody still living with single pane glass. On frames, vinyl window installation is where most homeowners land, because vinyl does not rot, does not need painting, and holds up well in humidity.

By style, bay and bow window installation is what you want when you are opening up a living room or adding a seat and light to a dark wall, and it is as much a carpentry job as a window job. Casement and awning window installation gives you the best seal of any operating window. And patio and sliding glass door installation covers the biggest opening in most houses, which is also usually the leakiest.

Windows for Raleigh Homes

Raleigh summers are long, hot and humid, and cooling is where the money goes. Low-E coated double pane glass cuts the solar heat coming through south and west-facing windows, which is exactly where most Triangle homes lose the fight in July and August.

Humidity is the second factor. It rots wooden sashes and sills faster here than in a dry climate, and it is why we install so much vinyl. It is also why condensation on the inside of your glass is worth paying attention to rather than wiping away.

Third, the tree canopy. Heavy shade on the north and east sides of a house keeps those walls damp and rots wooden sills from the outside in, while the west side takes full afternoon sun and cooks. It is common for one elevation of a Raleigh house to need replacing years before the others, and that is fine. Old windows and failing siding usually show up together, so ask us to look at your siding while we are measuring, or see everything our Raleigh roofing contractor team handles.
