Unmatched Window Replacement & Installation in Raleigh, NC

Most residential window replacement projects take 1-3 days depending on the number of windows and any unexpected repairs needed. A typical home with 10-15 windows can usually be completed in two days. We work efficiently while maintaining our quality standards, and we complete each window fully before moving to the next to minimize the time your home is exposed to the elements.

Full-frame replacement removes everything down to the rough opening, including the window frame, sill, and trim. Retrofit installation preserves the existing frame and replaces only the window unit. Retrofit is faster, less expensive, and avoids exterior repairs, but requires frames in good condition. We assess your specific situation and recommend the approach that delivers the best long-term results.

Soft spots when pressing on wood, visible rot or decay, windows that sag or are severely out of square, or water stains on surrounding walls all indicate frame problems. We conduct thorough frame assessments during consultations, identifying issues before installation begins. Many frames that appear questionable can be reinforced and sealed, while others truly need replacement.

Retrofit installation typically involves no damage to walls or exterior surfaces. Full-frame replacement requires removing interior and exterior trim, which we carefully preserve when possible for reinstallation. We protect surrounding surfaces during work and repair any minor damage as part of our standard process. Most customers are surprised by how clean and non-disruptive the installation proves to be.

Manufacturer warranties typically cover the window itself for 20+ years, including glass, frame, and hardware. Our lifetime workmanship warranty covers all installation-related issues for as long as you own the property. This includes seal integrity related to installation stress, operational problems from improper installation, and water or air infiltration caused by installation factors.

Utility savings depend on your existing windows’ condition and your new windows’ efficiency ratings. Most Triangle-area homes see 15-25% reductions in cooling costs with modern low-E, argon-filled windows. Heating savings are more modest but still meaningful. The comfort improvement—elimination of drafts and cold spots—is often more noticeable than the dollar savings.

Yes, our installation service includes complete cleanup and disposal of old windows, packaging materials, and construction debris. We protect your floors and furniture during installation, clean work areas daily, and perform a final detailed cleanup when finished. Old windows are disposed of responsibly, with glass recycled when possible.

We regularly install windows in brick and stucco homes throughout the Triangle. These installations require special attention to weather sealing and exterior trim details. Retrofit installation is often ideal for brick and stucco because it avoids disturbing exterior surfaces. When full-frame replacement is necessary, we coordinate any required masonry or stucco repairs.

Window installation can be performed year-round in the Triangle, though spring and fall offer the most comfortable working conditions. We work efficiently to minimize the time windows are open to the elements, typically exposing one opening at a time for just 15-30 minutes. Summer and winter installations require extra attention to temperature control but are entirely feasible.

Custom windows typically require 4-6 weeks for manufacturing and delivery. Once windows arrive, we can usually schedule installation within 1-2 weeks. We provide accurate timelines during consultation and keep you informed if delivery schedules change. Rush orders are sometimes available for an additional fee when timing is critical.
