You’ll notice the difference immediately. No more drafts sneaking through gaps in January. No more cranking the AC because your windows let heat pour in during July.
Your energy bills drop because your HVAC system isn’t fighting against leaky, inefficient windows anymore. The house stays the temperature you set it to.
Maryland’s weather throws everything at your windows—from humid summers to freezing winters. Quality windows handle it all without warping, sticking, or letting the outside in.
Bay Area Exteriors has been installing windows for Maryland homeowners for over 30 years. We’ve earned GAF Master Elite certification, putting us in the top 2% of contractors nationwide.
That certification means enhanced warranties and proven expertise. It’s not just about hanging windows—it’s about understanding how Maryland’s climate affects your home and choosing materials that last.
Severna Park homeowners deal with everything from Chesapeake Bay humidity to winter freeze-thaw cycles. We know which windows perform best in these conditions and how to install them properly the first time.
First, we measure your existing windows and assess your home’s specific needs. Every house is different, and cookie-cutter approaches don’t work.
Next comes material selection. We’ll explain which window types work best for your situation—double-hung, casement, or sliding—and which materials handle Maryland weather most effectively.
Installation day means careful removal of old windows, proper sealing and insulation, and precise fitting of your new windows. We clean up completely and walk you through operating your new windows before calling the job finished.

Every window installation includes proper weatherproofing, professional-grade sealants, and insulation that meets Maryland building codes. No shortcuts, no gaps that’ll cause problems later.
Severna Park’s location near the Chesapeake Bay means your windows face salt air, humidity, and temperature swings that cheaper materials can’t handle. We use windows designed for coastal Mid-Atlantic conditions.
You also get help with insurance claims if storm damage affects your windows. We work directly with insurance companies to handle the paperwork and ensure you get proper coverage for quality materials and professional installation.
Most residential window installations take one to three days, depending on how many windows you’re replacing and your home’s specific conditions. Single-story homes with standard-sized windows usually finish faster than multi-story homes or houses with custom window sizes.
Weather can affect timing since proper sealing requires dry conditions. We schedule installations during favorable weather windows and will reschedule if conditions aren’t right for quality work.
We don’t rush installations to meet arbitrary deadlines. Each window gets properly measured, sealed, and tested before moving to the next one.
Double-hung and casement windows perform exceptionally well in Maryland because they seal tightly against humidity and temperature changes. Vinyl and fiberglass frames handle the state’s freeze-thaw cycles better than wood or aluminum.
Energy-efficient glass packages with Low-E coatings reduce heat transfer, which matters during Maryland’s hot summers and cold winters. These coatings also protect your furniture and flooring from UV damage.
For homes near the Chesapeake Bay like those in Severna Park, salt-resistant materials become crucial. Cheap windows deteriorate quickly in coastal environments, but quality materials maintain their performance and appearance for decades.
Window replacement costs vary based on window size, material choice, and installation complexity. Standard double-hung vinyl windows typically cost less than custom casement windows or specialty shapes.
Quality windows cost more upfront but save money long-term through energy efficiency and durability. Cheap windows often need replacement within 10-15 years, while quality windows last 20-30 years or more.
We provide detailed estimates that break down material and labor costs. We also help homeowners understand which upgrades provide the best return on investment for their specific situation.
Yes, we work directly with insurance companies to document storm damage and ensure proper claim processing. We photograph damage, provide detailed repair estimates, and communicate with adjusters throughout the process.
Insurance companies often try to minimize claim payouts by suggesting cheaper materials or shortcuts. We advocate for homeowners to ensure claims cover quality materials and proper installation methods.
We handle the paperwork and scheduling so you don’t have to navigate insurance bureaucracy while dealing with damaged windows. This service often saves homeowners hundreds or thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket costs.
Quality windows can reduce energy bills by 15-30% depending on what you’re replacing. Single-pane windows or windows with broken seals waste enormous amounts of energy, especially during Maryland’s temperature extremes.
Modern energy-efficient windows use Low-E glass, argon gas fills, and advanced frame materials to minimize heat transfer. Your HVAC system runs less frequently because it’s not fighting against inefficient windows.
The exact savings depend on your home’s size, existing insulation, and HVAC efficiency. We can estimate potential savings based on your current windows and energy usage patterns.
We provide comprehensive warranties covering both materials and installation workmanship. Manufacturer warranties typically cover the windows themselves for 10-20 years, while installation warranties cover proper fitting and weatherproofing.
Our GAF Master Elite certification enables enhanced warranty options that aren’t available from non-certified contractors. These warranties often include coverage for installation-related issues that standard warranties exclude.
Warranty terms vary by window manufacturer and material type. We explain all warranty coverage before installation begins so you understand exactly what’s protected and for how long.
