Vinyl Windows

One of the byproducts of the world-wide web is that we have seen an increase in what you might call absentee landlords now able to contact contractors from afar and employ their services to work on their properties when they’re not even in the state or region.

In this case, our client lived in Radcliff, Kentucky and had found us online. Her tenant had filed several complaints regarding the condition of several windows in this Southeast Portland house.

As you can see, the glass in the top sash had already fallen out and the remaining sash components were barely holding together.
Just a wee bit drafty I would say.

But the original window jamb was in fine enough condition to merit being reused in a retrofit application wherein a new single-hung vinyl window assembly is retro-fitted right into the original wood window jamb assembly.

As most folks know by now, this is a very common and economically popular solution for these older era homes.
Although there are those who scorn the practice, and consider it a downgrading of the homes character and integrity.

This was another window that was targeted for replacement.

These basement in-swing awning casement windows were extremely common in these vintage of homes.

And changing them out to a Vinyl Slider is now just about as common.
I know there are those who might question our choosing to include a project like this in our portfolio, but there is a…

…substantial segment of potential clientele in our community, whom I want to know that these jobs are as much our “bread and butter” as any so-called high-profile, high dollar projects.
