Your energy bills drop. That’s the first thing you’ll notice after we install your new windows.
The drafts disappear. No more cold spots in winter or hot zones in summer. Your HVAC system stops working overtime, which means lower monthly costs and better comfort throughout your home.
You’ll also see an immediate improvement in noise reduction. Maryland’s coastal weather can be unpredictable, but quality windows create a barrier that keeps your home quieter and more comfortable regardless of what’s happening outside.
We’ve been installing windows for Naval Academy families and Eastern Shore homeowners since the early 1990s. We understand the unique challenges of Maryland’s coastal climate and what it takes to keep homes comfortable year-round.
As a GAF Master Elite certified contractor, we rank in the top 2% of contractors nationwide. This certification isn’t just a badge – it means we can offer enhanced warranties that most contractors can’t provide.
We’re a family-owned business, which means when you call, you’re talking to people who live and work in this community. We’ve built our reputation on honest communication, quality work, and standing behind what we install.
First, we come to your home for a detailed assessment. We measure each window opening, evaluate your current windows, and discuss your energy efficiency goals and budget. No pressure, just information.
Next, we provide a detailed estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline. We explain what type of windows work best for your specific situation and why. You’ll know exactly what you’re getting before we start.
Installation day runs smoothly because we’ve done this thousands of times. We protect your home’s interior, remove old windows carefully, and install new ones with precision. Each window gets properly sealed and insulated to maximize energy efficiency. We clean up completely when we’re done, leaving you with windows that work better and look great.

Every window installation includes professional-grade materials designed for Maryland’s climate. We use energy-efficient windows that meet or exceed local building codes and energy standards.
Your installation includes proper insulation around each window frame, quality caulking and weatherstripping, and interior and exterior trim work. We don’t cut corners on the details that affect long-term performance.
In Naval Academy and the broader Annapolis area, coastal humidity and temperature swings put extra stress on windows. That’s why we focus on proper installation techniques that prevent air leaks, moisture problems, and premature failure. You get windows that perform well for decades, not just the first few years.
Most residential window installations take one to three days, depending on the number of windows and any complications we discover during removal of old windows.
For a typical Naval Academy home with 10-15 windows, we usually complete the job in two days. Day one involves removing old windows and installing about half the new ones. Day two covers the remaining windows plus all finishing work like trim and cleanup.
Weather can affect our timeline, especially during Maryland’s storm season. We monitor forecasts closely and will reschedule if conditions aren’t suitable for installation. It’s better to wait for good weather than rush a job that needs to last 20+ years.
Double-pane, low-E windows with quality frames perform best in our coastal Maryland climate. The low-E coating reflects heat in summer and retains warmth in winter, which directly impacts your energy bills.
Vinyl frames handle humidity well and don’t require painting or maintenance like wood frames. They also provide excellent insulation properties. For homes near the water, vinyl resists salt air corrosion better than metal frames.
We typically recommend windows with at least a 0.30 U-factor rating for this area. That rating indicates good insulation properties. Combined with proper installation and sealing, these windows significantly reduce energy loss compared to older single-pane or poorly sealed double-pane windows.
Yes, we work directly with insurance companies to streamline the claims process for storm damage. We’ve handled hundreds of insurance claims over our 30+ years in business.
We document damage thoroughly with photos and detailed assessments that insurance adjusters need. Our reports include specific information about what caused the damage and what repairs or replacements are necessary.
Most importantly, we communicate directly with your insurance company throughout the process. This saves you time and reduces the back-and-forth that often complicates claims. We know what insurers expect and how to present information in a way that helps get your claim approved quickly.
Our window installations include both manufacturer warranties on the windows themselves and our workmanship warranty on the installation. Most quality windows come with 10-20 year manufacturer warranties covering materials and construction defects.
Our installation workmanship is warranted for two years. This covers any issues related to how we installed your windows – things like air leaks, water infiltration, or problems with trim work.
As a GAF Master Elite contractor, we can also offer enhanced warranties on certain window products that aren’t available through other contractors. These extended warranties provide additional protection and peace of mind for your investment.
Most Naval Academy homeowners see 15-25% reductions in heating and cooling costs after replacing old windows with energy-efficient models. The exact savings depend on your current windows’ condition and your home’s overall energy efficiency.
Homes with single-pane windows or double-pane windows more than 15 years old typically see the biggest improvements. Maryland’s humid summers and variable winters mean your HVAC system works hard year-round, so efficient windows make a noticeable difference.
We can provide estimates based on your specific situation during our initial assessment. Factors like window orientation, home size, and current energy usage all affect potential savings. Many homeowners find that energy savings help offset the cost of new windows over time.
Yes, we regularly work with military families who need window installation completed while they’re deployed or during PCS transitions. We understand the unique timing challenges military families face.
We can coordinate with property managers, family members, or trusted neighbors who have access to your home. Clear communication and detailed scheduling help ensure the work gets done properly even when you’re not physically present.
For families preparing for PCS moves, we often prioritize window installations that improve home value and appeal to potential buyers or renters. Energy-efficient windows are a selling point that can help your home move faster in the market. We can work within your timeline to complete installations before listing or showing your home.
