Casement Window Installation

You know the window. The one on the west side of the house that turns your living room into a slow-cooker every afternoon. Maybe the crank spins but nothing moves, or the sash got painted shut two owners ago. So you start looking for help. You want a straight answer, a clean install, and a window that finally does its job. That's exactly what we're here for.

Casement windows are hinged on the side and swing outward, usually with a hand crank that opens the whole window in one smooth motion. Because they open fully instead of sliding halfway, you get real airflow — the kind that pulls a breeze straight through a room. That full-open design also makes them easy to reach and easy to clean.

The materials matter too. Our casement windows are built to stand up to high winds, driving rain, and the temperature swings we see around Statesville from July heat to a January cold snap. They're weatherproof by design, not by luck. If you've got a room that never quite feels comfortable, a casement is often the style that finally fixes it.

Here's the part most window pages skip. The reason a casement seals better than an old slider or a tired double-hung comes down to how it closes. When you turn the crank, the sash pulls in and presses against the frame all the way around. It's not just resting there — it's being clamped shut.

That clamping comes from the multi-point locking system. Instead of one latch in the middle, the window locks at several points along the frame at once. Those locks pull the sash tight against the weatherproof seals, which cuts down on drafts and the outside air that used to sneak past your old windows. The same multi-point system that seals out weather also makes the window a lot harder to force open from outside. Pair that with shatter-resistant glass and you've got a window that's tougher on both fronts. Sliding windows rely on friction between two panels, and that gap is where air and noise usually get in. Casements don't have that gap when they're cranked shut.

We install all of these styles, so we'll shoot straight about the trade-offs. Double-hung windows have two sashes that slide up and down, and both tilt in so you can clean them from inside — a lot of folks love that for second-story rooms. Sliding windows glide side to side, save space, and give you a clean modern look without anything swinging outward.

Casements shine when you want the tightest seal and the most ventilation. But if you've got a deck or walkway right outside where a swinging sash would be in the way, a slider or double-hung might make more sense. There's no single "right" window — just the right one for that opening.

One of the biggest worries we hear is simple: what actually happens after I call, and is my house going to be a wreck when you're done? Fair question. Here's how we do it.

First, we come to you for a free in-home consultation. We look at your openings, talk through what's bugging you about your current windows, and answer questions without any rush. Second, we take custom measurements and have your windows fabricated to fit — no forcing a stock size into an opening it doesn't belong in. Third, our installation crew, with more than 20 years of experience behind them, puts the windows in and makes sure everything opens, closes, and locks the way it should. Fourth, we do a final inspection and clean up after ourselves. That means the old materials, the trimmings, the dust around the sills — we don't leave that for you to deal with. When we pull out, the room should look better than when we showed up, minus the drafty window.

Want to talk through your project or get on the schedule? Call us at 980-434-5347 and we'll set up a time that works for you.

Since every window we install is measured and fabricated for your specific opening, odd sizes and older homes aren't a problem. You've also got room to make it yours — a range of colors, options, finishes, and grid patterns to match the look of your house instead of fighting it.

One thing worth mentioning for bedrooms: casements open the full width of the frame, which is why a lot of homeowners consider them when they're thinking about egress. There are rules around bedroom escape openings, and the safest move is to let us look at your specific window during the consultation rather than guessing off a chart. We'll walk you through what fits and what works for that room.

After your free in-home consultation, we give you a quote, and that price is locked in for a full year. If you want to sit on it, sit on it. The number stays the same.

We can't print a dollar figure on a webpage, because your price depends on real things — how many windows, the sizes, the custom fabrication, and the glass options you choose. That's what the consultation is for. You'll get a clear number tied to your actual house, and it comes with our True Double Lifetime Warranty. We'll walk you through exactly what that covers while we're there.
