Wood Windows

Our client here presumably sought to save some money by going with another contractor, but after seeing the caliber of work on the main-floor windows & the set of doors…decided to pull the plug and call us in the finish the project.

Our mission was to install the 2nd story windows and provide & install the interior trim around the windows and door assembly installed by the previous contractor. The windows in this case were Sierra Pacific. If interested in learning more about this product, go to; www.sierrapacificwindows.com/

If you click on the above photo (enlarging it), you may be able to see that the original wood windows had been replaced with Vinyl windows with the internal grids.

Our client had hoped to not only regain the value and beauty of wood windows, but to also restore the interior window surrounds from these sterile dry-walled openings to the beauty and warmth of wood products that match the era of the home (see below).

Obviously, the “importance” of properly flashing the windows with this type of exposure to the elements (no overhang), in our type of climate probably couldn’t be overstated.

Exterior trim and even a fascia-type of protruding sub-sill that is more in keeping with the original look of the original windows is installed. Phil McNair is shown here refastening some of the siding.

This is the living room window that was installed by the other contractor who was chased off before they could do any more damage. So our client had us install the interior trim on all the other windows and the door assembly, as well as the windows we installed.

For reasons of economy perhaps, the interior trim around the upstairs windows was slightly simpler.
As you can tell by the above photo, our crew pulled a long day finishing up this project.

Long days are par for the course when you work on exterior envelopes for a living.
