We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your routine while maintaining our high installation standards, and we always clean up thoroughly before leaving your Alexandria property.

Absolutely. Alexandria’s climate extremes mean your HVAC system works hard year-round, and old inefficient windows can account for 25-30% of your energy costs. Our ENERGY STAR® certified replacement windows with Low-E glass and argon gas insulation dramatically improve your home’s thermal performance, often reducing heating and cooling costs by 25-30% or more. Many Alexandria homeowners find their energy-efficient windows pay for themselves through utility savings over 7-10 years.

Are your windows suitable for Alexandria's urban environment?

Yes, our vinyl replacement windows are specifically designed for durability in urban environments like Alexandria. They resist pollution, require no painting or maintenance, and provide excellent noise reduction from traffic along busy Northern Virginia roads.

Double-Hung Replacement Windows
Double-hung windows are the classic choice for traditional Alexandria architecture, offering timeless beauty that works perfectly with colonial, Federal, and Victorian home styles throughout the city. Modern double-hung replacement windows feature both upper and lower sashes that tilt inward for easy cleaning—a practical feature that Alexandria homeowners love, especially those dealing with urban dust and pollen. We can match any grid pattern or muntin configuration to preserve your home’s historic character, or install clean contemporary lines for modern Alexandria properties. Advanced weatherstripping and multi-point locking systems make today’s double-hung windows significantly more energy-efficient than their traditional counterparts.

Casement & Awning Windows

For maximum ventilation and energy efficiency in your Alexandria home, casement and awning windows are excellent choices. These windows crank open to catch refreshing breezes from the Potomac River, and when closed, they create an exceptionally tight seal that helps reduce energy costs. Their modern hardware and clean lines make them popular in both traditional and contemporary Alexandria neighborhoods, and they’re particularly effective in kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas where you want maximum airflow and easy operation.

Bay & Bow Windows
Bay and bow windows add architectural drama while creating stunning views of Alexandria’s tree-lined streets or the Potomac River waterfront. These projecting window designs increase your interior space, flood rooms with natural light, and serve as beautiful focal points in living rooms, dining rooms, and master bedrooms. They’re especially popular in Alexandria neighborhoods like Cameron Station and Eisenhower Valley, where homeowners want to maximize natural light and create distinctive architectural features. Each bay or bow window is custom-built to fit your Alexandria home’s specific dimensions and style requirements.

Sliding Windows & Picture Windows
Sliding windows offer practical, contemporary functionality with wide, unobstructed views that work beautifully in modern Alexandria homes. Their horizontal design is ideal for rooms with limited vertical space, and their simple operation makes them popular for frequently used areas. Picture windows, which don’t open, provide maximum energy efficiency when you want to showcase views of Alexandria’s beautiful parks like Chinquapin Park or the George Washington Memorial Parkway. They’re often combined with operable windows to provide ventilation where needed while maintaining clean, modern aesthetics.

Custom & Specialty
Windows for Alexandria Homes Alexandria’s rich architectural heritage includes many homes with unique window openings that require custom solutions. We create replacement windows in virtually any shape or size, including arched windows, circular windows, trapezoids, and other specialty configurations. This capability is especially valuable for historic Alexandria properties where standard window sizes don’t match original openings, or for custom homes where distinctive window shapes are part of the architectural design. Our custom windows maintain the same energy efficiency standards as our standard products while meeting any aesthetic or functional requirement.
