Window Styles for Every Home
Window style matters — it determines how your windows operate and how they complement your home’s design. We offer a complete range of window styles to match your functional needs and design preferences.
Double-Hung Windows
The most versatile and popular choice for traditional homes, double-hung windows feature two operating sashes that slide vertically. Both the upper and lower sashes tilt inward for easy cleaning from inside your home. This classic style provides excellent ventilation control — open just the top for gentle airflow or both sashes for maximum circulation. Double–hung windows’ timeless design complements virtually any architectural style from colonial to craftsman.
Casement Windows
Hinged at the side and opening outward with a crank mechanism, casement windows deliver unobstructed views and superior ventilation. When fully opened, they catch passing breezes and direct airflow into your home. The compression seal created when closed provides exceptional energy efficiency and weather resistance. Ideal for hard-to-reach locations like over kitchen sinks or in bathrooms where you want privacy with ventilation.

Sliding Windows
Operating horizontally along a track, sliding windows work perfectly in spaces with limited exterior clearance like walkways or patios. One or both sashes glide smoothly for easy operation that requires minimal effort. Their contemporary profile suits modern architecture while providing practical functionality. Excellent for rooms where you want wide openings for ventilation without protruding sashes.
Bay and Bow Windows
These projecting window configurations add architectural depth and dimension while flooding rooms with light from multiple angles. Bay windows typically feature three panels at angles, while bow windows curve gracefully with four or more panels. Both styles can create cozy window seats or display areas inside while enhancing your home's exterior profile. Perfect for transforming ordinary rooms into distinctive spaces.
Window Materials That Last
Your home’s windows should reflect your personal taste while serving practical needs. We offer four premium material options, each engineered for specific performance characteristics and aesthetic preferences.
Aluminum Windows
Sleek and strong, aluminum windows have a slim profile that maximizes glass area for enhanced views and natural light. The material's inherent strength allows for larger window sizes and expansive configurations without sacrificing structural integrity. Aluminum resists rust and corrosion, making it particularly well-suited to coastal environments. Modern thermal break technology significantly improves energy efficiency while maintaining the clean, contemporary aesthetic that complements modern and industrial architectural styles.
Vinyl Windows
Vinyl replacement windows deliver outstanding energy efficiency with virtually no maintenance requirements. The material never needs painting, resists moisture damage, and maintains its appearance year after year. Multiple color options ensure coordination with your home's exterior. Cost-effective without compromising performance, vinyl windows offer excellent value for budget-conscious homeowners seeking long-term reliability.
Wood Windows
For homeowners who appreciate natural beauty and traditional craftsmanship, wood windows provide timeless elegance with superior insulation properties. Wood's natural cellular structure creates excellent thermal resistance while offering unlimited customization through stains and paints. Interior wood surfaces add warmth and character to any room. Modern treatments and finishes protect against moisture and weathering, making wood windows suitable even for coastal applications when properly maintained.
Fiberglass Windows
Combining exceptional strength with outstanding thermal performance, fiberglass windows represent the premium choice for demanding climates. The material expands and contracts at nearly the same rate as glass, minimizing stress on seals and maintaining airtight performance through temperature extremes. Fiberglass resists warping, rotting, and corrosion while requiring minimal maintenance. Available in various colors and finishes, these windows offer design flexibility with uncompromising durability.
