## Replacement Is a Frame Question — Nothing Else Qualifies

Fogged glass is a $198 unit swap. A dropping sash is a $175 balancer. A rotted sill is a $375 wood rebuild. None of those is a replacement case, whatever the salesman said. Replacement earns its five-figure whole-house bills only when the FRAME is finished: rot through the structure, openings racked out of square by settling, storm damage past the sash, or single-pane originals you've decided to upgrade wholesale. Our estimate walks that test in front of you — both columns, one sheet.
- Frame rot through the structure — honest replacement
- Openings racked out of square — honest replacement
- Fog, hardware, sill rot — repairs, and priced as such
- Both columns on one free written estimate

## Replacement Windows Live or Die by the Installing Hands

We spend our weeks repairing other installers' shortcuts, which makes our install spec non-negotiable: true-opening measurement, square shimming at the load points, flashing lapped to shed Carolina rain outward, low-expansion foam at the gaps, sealed inside and out, hardware cycled before we leave. Every brand and style — quality double-hungs with tilt-in sashes and Low-E as the baseline, not the upsell. Openings are never left unsecured overnight.
- Measured, shimmed, flashed, foamed, sealed — every time
- Tilt-in sashes and Low-E glass as the baseline
- Any brand; mixed repair-and-replace jobs welcome
- Old units hauled away, openings left clean

## Window Replacement — FAQ

**Q: How do I know if my windows need replacing or repairing?**

A: Apply the frame test: if the frame is sound, everything else — fog, drops, drafts, sill rot — is a repair at a fraction of replacement cost. If frames are rotted through, racked or storm-crushed, replacement is honest. Our free estimate runs the test window by window and shows both columns.

**Q: Why are replacement quotes so different between companies?**

A: Scope games and commission math. A holding written number requires actually examining the openings — including frame and sill condition — which teaser-price sellers skip, then 'discover' on install day. Ours is written after examination and it holds.

**Q: Can we replace only the worst windows?**

A: Absolutely — mixing is normal and smart: replace the three that fail the frame test, repair the balancers on the rest. Nothing about good window work requires a whole-house contract.

**Q: What makes one replacement window better than another?**

A: The invisible parts: balance system lifespan, meeting-rail reinforcement, spacer and coating quality in the glass, tilt-in hardware. Cheap windows economize exactly there because showrooms don't show year six. Ask a repair company — we meet every brand at its worst.

**Q: Are we exposed during installation?**

A: Never overnight: each window swaps in well under a day — old unit out, opening inspected and de-rotted, new unit set, sealed and trimmed before the crew moves on. Weather stays outside for the whole project.

**Q: Where do you install?**

A: Every metro on the list below — city pages have the details. Free estimates everywhere we drive.
