Kitchen window problems we fix in Warrenville
We install new kitchen windows: a casement you can crank open over the faucet, a slider, a double-hung or a garden window. In Warrenville we handle same-size replacements, larger openings with a new header, and the permits and lead-safe prep those jobs can need.
Hard to open over the sink
Over a deep counter, a crank handle or a sliding sash is easier to use than lifting a heavy bottom sash.
Window too low for a new backsplash or faucet
When a remodel changes counter height or backsplash, the window may need to move. We coordinate the opening with the new kitchen.
Noise from the street or yard
Newer insulated windows usually cut outside noise noticeably compared with single-pane glass.
Garden or bay window
Garden windows add a shelf of space beyond the wall. They need careful flashing and support, which we include.
Condensation on the glass
Kitchens make steam. Old single-pane or poorly sealed windows collect condensation that drips onto the sill. Insulated glass keeps the inside pane warmer.
Fogged or cloudy glass
Fog trapped inside double-pane glass will not go away. We look at the frame and recommend new glass or a new window.
Old aluminum or single-pane windows
Aluminum frames conduct cold and sweat in winter. A vinyl, fiberglass or wood window with insulated glass is warmer and quieter.
What's included
- Measuring the openingWe measure the rough opening and check for square, level and rot.
- Permits and approvalsWe find out what the town or association requires before ordering.
