Retrofit Windows
Retrofit Window Installation
A faster, less invasive way to upgrade your windows when existing frames are sound.
Retrofit, or insert, window installation fits a new window inside your existing frame. It's a smart, cost-effective option when your current frames are square, solid, and weathertight. Because the frame stays in place, retrofit installation is faster and creates less disruption to your home's interior and exterior finishes.
When Retrofit Makes Sense
Retrofit is ideal when your existing window frames are in good condition, properly sealed, and the opening is square. It's commonly chosen for tract homes and properties where preserving stucco, siding, or interior trim matters. We inspect each frame to confirm it can properly support a retrofit installation.
When Full-Frame Is Better
If frames are damaged, rotted, corroded, or out of square — or you want to change the window size or style — full-frame replacement is the right choice. It removes the entire old frame down to the rough opening, allowing full inspection, flashing, and a weathertight result.
