Warwick, Rhode Island · In-home estimates

Count your windows. Note your home’s age. We’ll bring the specs.

Every opening gets measured and drawn before a unit is ordered. Two numbers start that drawing: how many openings you have, and how old the house is.

Scope of work

Six kinds of work, one opening at a time.

Replacement windows, entry doors, patio and sliding doors, storm windows, energy-efficient upgrades, and the trim and flashing that keeps water out of the wall. Each one is fit to the rough opening, the wall assembly, and the trim that stays.

Replacement Windows

Full-frame or pocket replacement. Sash, casing and interior stop are fit to the opening that is actually in the wall.

Opening — measured

02

Entry Doors

Slab, frame, threshold and weatherstrip as one assembly. The door is hung and swung before the interior trim goes back on.

Frame — plumb & square

03

Patio & Sliding Doors

Sliding and hinged patio units. Track set level, panel adjusted to the opening, and the sill detailed so water leaves the wall.

Track — level

04

Storm Windows

Exterior and interior storm panels sized to the existing sash, so the primary window still operates.

Panel — sized to sash

05

Energy-Efficient Upgrades

Glazing and coatings chosen for the opening and for the wall behind it, rather than applied as one blanket package.

Glazing — chosen per opening

06

Trim & Flashing

Head flashing, sill pan, jamb trim and sealant at every opening. The line items that keep water out of the wall.

Weather — lapped out

Planning the work

Why we ask for the count and the age.

Those two numbers set the size of the schedule and tell us what the walls are likely to look like once the old units come out.

    The count sets the schedule

    Each opening is measured, ordered and installed as its own line item. Knowing the count up front is what lets us sequence the work and give you a realistic date.

  2. 02

    The age points to what is behind the trim

    Homes built in different decades framed their openings differently. The age of the house tells us how much of the opening we should expect to rebuild, not just cover.

  3. 03

    Warwick weather sits over all of it

    Salt air off the bay, wind-driven rain at the head and the sill, and a winter that freezes and thaws. Trim, flashing and sealant choices follow from those three conditions.
