Your window installation includes proper weatherproofing, insulation, and sealing—critical for Eastern Shore homes that face humidity, salt air, and temperature swings. You get windows designed to handle Maryland’s climate, not generic solutions that might work elsewhere but fail here.
The installation covers interior and exterior trim work, ensuring your new windows look finished and professional. All debris removal is included, along with a thorough cleanup that leaves your home exactly as we found it, just with better windows.

The total project cost depends on how many windows you’re replacing, whether any structural modifications are needed, and the specific window styles that work best for your home’s architecture and your family’s needs.
Most window installations take one to three days, depending on how many windows you’re replacing and whether any complications arise. A typical single window replacement takes about 30 minutes to an hour once the crew is set up.
