Your energy bills drop. That’s the first thing you’ll notice after we install your new windows—less money going to heat and cool a house that’s finally sealed properly.
But it goes beyond the monthly savings. You’ll feel the difference when you’re not dealing with drafts in winter or hot spots in summer. Your furniture stops fading from UV damage. Outside noise stays outside.
The installation matters as much as the windows themselves. When windows are installed correctly, they perform like they’re supposed to. When they’re not, you get air leaks, water problems, and the kind of headaches that make you wish you’d hired someone who knew what they were doing the first time.
We’ve been installing windows for Cape St. Claire homeowners for over 30 years. We’re a family-owned company that understands what Maryland weather does to homes—and what it takes to protect them.
We’re certified GAF Master Elite contractors, which puts us in the top 2% of contractors nationwide. That certification doesn’t come easy, and it means we can offer enhanced warranties that most contractors can’t.
When storm damage hits your windows, we work directly with insurance companies to handle the claims process. We know what adjusters look for, what documentation they need, and how to get your claim processed without the runaround.
We start with an honest assessment of your current windows and what needs to be done. No high-pressure sales tactics—just a straightforward conversation about your options and what each will cost.
Once you decide to move forward, we order your windows and schedule the installation around your timeline. On installation day, we protect your floors and furniture, remove the old windows carefully, and install the new ones with proper sealing and insulation.
We clean up completely before we leave. You’re left with windows that work properly, look great, and will perform for years to come. We also walk you through the warranties and maintenance requirements so you know exactly what to expect.

Every window installation includes proper removal of old windows, professional installation of new ones, and complete sealing to prevent air and water infiltration. We use quality materials that hold up to Maryland’s climate—hot summers, cold winters, and everything in between.
Cape St. Claire homes often have unique architectural features that require custom solutions. We measure carefully and work with manufacturers to ensure proper fit, whether you’re dealing with standard openings or something that needs special attention.
You get manufacturer warranties on the windows themselves, plus our guarantee on the installation work. We also provide maintenance guidelines specific to your window type and our local climate conditions, so you know how to keep them performing at their best.
Most window installations take one to three days, depending on how many windows you’re replacing and the complexity of your home’s layout. Single-story homes with standard-sized windows usually wrap up in a day or two.
Two-story homes or houses with custom window sizes take longer—sometimes up to three days. We don’t rush the job because proper installation requires time to do the sealing and finishing work correctly.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront so you can plan accordingly. Weather can affect scheduling, especially during Maryland’s winter months, but we communicate any delays immediately and work around your schedule whenever possible.
Double-pane or triple-pane windows with low-E coatings perform best in Maryland’s climate. They handle our hot, humid summers and cold winters while keeping energy costs reasonable.
Vinyl windows are popular here because they don’t require painting and hold up well to moisture. Wood windows look great but need more maintenance. Fiberglass is a good middle ground—durable like vinyl but with the appearance of wood.
The key is proper installation regardless of material. Even the best windows won’t perform if they’re not installed correctly with proper insulation and sealing around the frame.
Most homeowners see 10-25% reductions in their heating and cooling costs after replacing old, inefficient windows. The exact savings depend on what you’re replacing and how drafty your current windows are.
Homes with single-pane windows or windows with broken seals see the biggest improvements. If your current windows are already relatively new and efficient, the savings will be smaller but still noticeable.
The Department of Energy estimates that replacing single-pane windows can save $126-$465 per year for a typical home. In Cape St. Claire, where we use both heating and cooling heavily, most customers see their investment pay back within 8-12 years through energy savings alone.
Yes, we work directly with insurance companies when storm damage affects your windows. We document the damage properly, provide detailed estimates, and communicate with adjusters throughout the claims process.
We know what insurance companies look for and how to present claims in a way that gets approved quickly. This saves you the hassle of dealing with back-and-forth between contractors and adjusters.
Most homeowners don’t realize that improper installation can void insurance coverage for future claims. When we install your windows, we follow manufacturer specifications exactly, so you maintain full warranty and insurance protection.
Big box stores typically subcontract installations to whoever bids lowest, which often means inexperienced crews working fast to maximize profit. We handle every installation ourselves with the same experienced team.
We take time to properly seal and insulate around each window. Many subcontractors skip these steps because they’re not visible once the trim goes back up, but they’re critical for performance and longevity.
You also get direct access to us if issues arise later. With subcontracted work, the store often can’t help with installation problems, and the actual installer may be difficult to reach or no longer working with that retailer.
If you feel drafts around closed windows, see condensation between glass panes, or notice your energy bills climbing, replacement is usually the better option. Repairs on older windows often cost more long-term than replacement.
Windows over 15-20 years old typically lack the energy efficiency of modern options, even when they’re functioning properly. Single-pane windows should almost always be replaced rather than repaired.
We provide honest assessments during our initial visit. If repair makes sense, we’ll tell you. But most Cape St. Claire homes we visit benefit more from replacement, especially when you factor in energy savings and improved comfort.
