Your energy bills drop immediately. No more cranking the heat in winter because drafts are sneaking through gaps, or running the AC constantly because your windows can’t keep Maryland’s humid air outside where it belongs.
You stop fighting with your thermostat. Your home stays comfortable without your HVAC system working overtime, and you’re not watching money disappear every month.
The constant worry about water damage ends. Professional installation means proper sealing, correct flashing, and materials that handle our area’s weather extremes without failing.
Bay Area Exteriors has been solving window problems for Arden on the Severn homeowners since the 1990s. We earned GAF Master Elite certification, which puts us in the top 2% of contractors nationwide.
Here’s what matters for your project: we understand how Maryland’s climate beats up windows. The humid summers, freezing winters, and heavy rains require specific installation techniques that many contractors skip.
We also handle insurance claims directly. Most of our Arden on the Severn customers get their window replacement covered by insurance, paying only their deductible. We know how to document storm damage and work with adjusters.
We start by measuring everything twice because poor measurements cause 90% of window problems. Then we remove your old windows while protecting your walls and floors.
Before installing anything new, we inspect and repair the frame. Rotted wood, damaged sills, or structural issues get fixed now, not discovered later when water starts leaking in.
Your new windows go in with proper flashing, weatherproof sealing, and insulation around every gap. We test each window before calling the job complete. No shortcuts, no rushing, no problems down the road.

ENERGY STAR certified windows that qualify for federal tax credits up to $600 per project. These aren’t contractor-grade windows from the big box stores – they’re designed for Maryland’s climate with low-E coatings and argon gas fills.
Complete weatherproofing includes professional flashing, high-grade caulking, and proper insulation around every frame. We handle debris removal and leave your home cleaner than we found it.
For Arden on the Severn homes, this means windows that perform whether it’s 95 degrees and humid in July or 20 degrees in January. Your new windows won’t fog up, leak, or fail when the weather gets extreme.
Energy Star data shows Maryland homeowners typically save $236 annually on heating and cooling costs. But in our experience with Arden on the Severn homes, the savings are often higher because older windows in this area are particularly inefficient.
The Department of Energy says 25-30% of your home’s energy loss happens through windows. If you’re spending $200+ monthly on utilities, that’s $50-60 going straight out your windows every month.
Most customers see the difference in their first utility bill after installation. One customer told us their heating bill dropped by $80 the first month, even though it was January.
We install premium brands like Andersen, Pella, and ProVia – all ENERGY STAR certified for Maryland’s climate zone. The difference between these and cheap windows is huge, especially with our weather.
Cheap windows fail in 5-10 years with Maryland’s humidity and temperature swings. Quality windows last 20+ years with minimal maintenance. You’re not replacing them again in a decade.
Every window we install qualifies for the federal tax credit, which covers 30% of costs up to $600 per project. That’s real money back in your pocket for choosing energy-efficient options.
Most residential jobs take 1-2 days depending on the number of windows and any frame repairs needed. We work efficiently but never rush the critical weatherproofing steps.
Day one involves removing old windows and addressing frame issues. Day two focuses on new window installation, sealing, and testing. We protect your floors and furniture throughout.
The big difference is we don’t cut corners on sealing and flashing to save time. Many contractors skip these steps, which leads to leaks and drafts later. We do it right once.
Yes, and we’re good at it. We’ve helped dozens of Arden on the Severn homeowners get full window replacements covered after storm damage, with customers paying only their deductible.
We handle everything – initial damage assessment, documentation, meeting adjusters on-site, and presenting the case for replacement versus repair. We know what insurance companies look for.
One recent customer thought they’d pay $8,000 out of pocket. We documented the storm damage properly and got the entire project covered. They paid their $1,000 deductible and got $15,000 worth of new windows.
We’re GAF Master Elite certified, putting us in the top 2% of contractors nationwide. This requires proven experience, proper licensing, insurance, and ongoing training – not everyone qualifies.
More importantly, we understand Maryland’s climate challenges. We use moisture barriers designed for humid conditions, seal against water intrusion, and choose materials that handle temperature extremes without failing.
We also stick around after installation. Too many homeowners get burned by contractors who collect payment and disappear. We stand behind our work with comprehensive warranties and quick response if issues arise.
Yes, with flexible options that make quality installation affordable. Many customers finance to get all windows done at once rather than replacing them piecemeal over years.
The energy savings often cover the monthly payment, especially combined with the federal tax credit. You’re essentially using money you’re currently wasting on energy bills to pay for windows that eliminate that waste.
We help customers time projects to maximize tax benefits and available rebates. The key is getting quality windows installed correctly once, rather than cheap windows that need replacing again in a few years.
