Full-Frame Window Replacement

Full-Frame Window Replacement in Syracuse

When an old window frame is rotted, out of square, or you want to change the opening size, full-frame replacement is the right method. Burnsidewriterscollective removes the entire old window down to the rough opening, including the frame and sill, so we can repair failed framing and re-flash before the new energy-efficient unit goes in. It is the thorough choice for tired windows on a century-old James Street home.

Why Full-Frame Rather Than an Insert

• Fixes hidden rot. Opening up the wall lets us find and repair the water-damaged framing an insert would simply cover over.
• Re-flashing done right. New flashing tape at the sill keeps meltwater from a Syracuse ice dam outside where it belongs.
• Full glass area. Because we replace the whole unit, you keep the largest possible glass opening instead of shrinking it with an insert frame.

Our Process

We protect the interior, remove the sash and frame, and inspect the rough opening. Any rot gets cut out and rebuilt, then we flash the sill, set the new low-E unit plumb and square, insulate the gaps with foam, and finish the interior and exterior trim to match. A typical fiberglass or wood unit runs from $683 to $1,865 installed.
