Evaluation begins with checking operating sashes for smooth movement, inspecting glazing for seal failure evidenced by condensation or haze between panes, and examining frames for rot where water has penetrated. Measuring captures the actual rough opening dimensions rather than relying on standard sizes, because settling and previous repairs often leave openings out of square by half an inch or more. Removing old windows requires cutting through interior stops and exterior casing while preserving surrounding materials, then extracting the frame assembly and inspecting the rough opening for water damage or missing flashing.

New window installation includes shimming the frame level and plumb, securing it with appropriate fasteners for the wall construction type, and applying low-expansion foam insulation that fills voids without bowing the frame. Exterior flashing integrates with existing water-resistive barriers, and interior trim reinstallation seals the final air leakage path. Final inspection verifies that sashes operate smoothly, locks engage fully, and no light gaps exist around the closed sash perimeter when backlit. The result is windows that will maintain their energy performance and weather resistance for decades rather than years.
