Windows explained

Window work ranges from repairing a damaged sash to replacing whole units. A replacement window can go into the existing frame as an insert, or the entire window, frame and trim included, can be removed and replaced, which allows the opening to be inspected and flashed. A window only performs well when the opening around it is properly sealed and flashed, because most window leaks are installation leaks rather than glass failures. Choices include style, frame material, glazing, and finish. In co-ops, condos, and landmarked buildings, rules may limit what you can install or how it should look, so approvals come before ordering.

Options and materials

Insert replacement windows

A new window unit installed within the existing frame. Faster and less disruptive, and suitable when the frame and surround are sound.

Full-frame replacement

Remove the old window and frame, inspect and repair the opening, then flash and install a new unit. Best when there is rot or leaking.

Sash and glass repair

Repair or replace broken glass, sashes, and hardware when the window is otherwise sound and worth keeping.

Trim, sill, and sealing work

Replace rotted sills and trim and renew exterior sealing and flashing at the window to stop water entry.

Window style changes

Different styles such as double-hung, casement, or fixed can be considered where the building and approvals allow.

Our process

  1. Survey the windowsWe check each window's condition, frame, sill, and surrounding wall for rot or water damage, and measure each opening carefully.
  2. Choose style and materialsWe review styles, frame materials, and glazing options with you, along with any co-op, condo, or landmark requirements.
  3. Written scope and schedulingYou receive a written estimate listing units, trim, and flashing work. Custom windows have lead time, and we explain it up front.
  4. Remove old windows and inspectOld windows are removed carefully, and the opening is checked for rot or damage, which is repaired before the new unit goes in.
  5. Install, flash, and sealNew windows are set level and plumb, flashed, insulated around the frame, and sealed to shed water.
  6. Trim, adjust, and clean upInterior and exterior trim is finished, the windows are tested for operation, and the site is cleaned.

What affects the price

Number and size of windows

Larger windows and larger orders change material and labor, and custom sizes cost more than standard ones.

Window type and style

Double-hung, casement, bay, and specialty shapes differ in price and installation effort.

Frame material and glazing

Frame materials and glass options change the unit cost and performance.

Insert versus full-frame

Full-frame replacement with trim and flashing takes more work than an insert into a sound frame.

Hidden damage

Rotted sills, framing, or wall damage found behind old windows adds repair work.

Floor level and access

Upper-floor windows, street frontage, and limited access can require added equipment or protection.

Frequently asked questions

Should I choose insert or full-frame windows?
If the existing frames and surrounding wall are sound, inserts are quicker and less disruptive. If there is rot, leaking, or a poor fit, full-frame replacement lets us repair the opening and flash it properly. We recommend based on what we find.
Why are my windows leaking?
Often the glass is fine and the leak is at the frame, sill, or flashing. Failed sealant, rotted sills, or missing flashing let water in. Sometimes the cause is the wall or roof edge above rather than the window itself.
How long does window replacement take?
Installation is usually a matter of hours per window, but custom units have lead times that can be several weeks. We give you a realistic timeline in the written estimate.
Do I need approval for new windows in a co-op or landmarked building?
Often yes. Co-ops and condos commonly require board approval and may limit styles or colors. Landmarked buildings can have rules about visible windows. Check before ordering, and we can provide specifications and paperwork.
Will new windows reduce noise and drafts?
Properly installed modern windows usually reduce drafts, and some glazing options help with noise. Results depend on the existing building and installation quality. We do not promise specific energy or noise reductions.
Can you repair a window instead of replacing it?
Often yes, for broken glass, worn hardware, or damaged sashes. If the frame is rotted or the window cannot be made to work properly, we will say replacement is the better value.
