Windows FAQs

There are many window styles available, allowing you to choose options that complement both your home’s architecture and your lifestyle. Some of the most popular replacement window styles include:

• Double-hung windows
• Single-hung windows
• Casement windows
• Sliding windows
• Picture windows
• Awning windows
• Bay and bow windows
• Specialty shape windows

The best window style depends on your home’s design, the size of the opening, ventilation needs, and personal preferences. For example, double-hung windows are a versatile choice for many homes, while casement windows provide excellent airflow in hard-to-reach areas. Picture windows are ideal for showcasing scenic views, and bay or bow windows can create additional interior space while adding architectural interest. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals and recommend styles that enhance both the appearance and functionality of your home.

Although they look similar, these two window styles operate differently. A single-hung window has a fixed upper sash, while only the lower sash opens for ventilation. A double-hung window features two operable sashes that slide independently. This allows for better airflow and makes cleaning easier, especially on upper floors, since both sashes can typically tilt inward.

Bay and bow windows extend outward from your home’s exterior, creating additional interior space and allowing more natural light into the room. A bay window typically consists of three windows—a large center window flanked by two angled side windows, while a bow window features four or more windows arranged in a gentle curve, creating a wider, more rounded appearance.

Permit requirements vary depending on local building regulations and the scope of the project. In many cases, standard window replacements using the existing openings may not require extensive permitting, while structural changes or enlarging window openings often do. Our team stays current with local building requirements and can determine whether permits are needed for your project.
