What Every Homeowner Should Know
Common Challenges
No Two Openings Are the Same
Frames in homes over 15 years old are rarely square — they shift, headers settle, and framing wood twists. Every opening must be measured independently, and shimming precision determines whether the window operates smoothly for years or sticks and drafts from Day 1.
Lead Paint in Pre-1978 Homes
Homes built before 1978 may have lead paint on window frames and trim. Disturbing lead paint without proper containment and EPA RRP-certified procedures creates health and legal liability. We test and follow RRP protocols for all pre-1978 projects.
Egress Compliance in Bedrooms
Bedrooms have size requirements for their emergency escape openings under the residential building code, and replacement windows should not make an opening smaller. Window replacement is a good time to check your bedrooms with Chesterfield County Building Inspection.
Thermal Seal Failure Between Panes
Condensation or fogging between double-pane glass means the argon fill has escaped and the insulating value is gone. This is a sign that the surrounding frame and flashing should also be inspected for moisture damage before new windows are installed.
Pro Tips from Our Team
Measure each window opening individually — even windows that appear identical in the same room frequently differ by 1/4" or more, and custom sizing is essential for a tight install.
Use low-expansion spray foam around window frames — standard high-expansion foam can bow the frame and cause the window to bind or fail to lock.
For south- and west-facing windows, ask about glass with a low solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) — it reduces summer heat gain while keeping good light transmission, which can meaningfully reduce cooling costs in Virginia.
Replace windows before repainting exterior trim — you'll avoid scraping and repainting freshly installed windows, and caulk lines will be cleaner.
If your home was built before 1978, test for lead paint before removal — an EPA-recognized test kit is inexpensive compared with remediation costs and legal exposure.
