Swarthmore'stree-lined streets are full of older homes where the windows are original tothe architecture, so replacing them is as much about respecting the house asimproving efficiency. Left as they are, those sashes let in drafts and streetnoise. We have been replacing windows in the region since 1970, and inSwarthmore the aim is to upgrade each home without flattening its character.


Our windowprojects lead with OKNA, which we fit as an authorized OKNA installer. OKNA'sadvanced vinyl construction is ENERGY STAR certified across many lines andengineered for the climate here in southeastern Pennsylvania. The result is adependable, low-maintenance window that keeps its looks and its seal over theyears.
We offer the fullrange of styles, double-hung, casement, sliding, awning, bay, and picture, soeach room can keep the type of window that suits how it is used, from a widepicture unit facing the garden to casements in a narrow stair hall.
As a certifiedAndersen contractor, we also offer Andersen where it fits, and its warrantyapplies to Andersen products. Whatever you pick, each opening is sizedindividually and every unit is set level and fully sealed. At the estimate youwill see full-size samples, go over OKNA's coverage, and get a straightexplanation of what each line offers.
The estimateitself is a walk through the house together. We note which original units arefailing and which rooms matter most to you, then put the recommended lines,glass options, and pricing in writing so you can decide at your own pace.
Many homes thisage have older paint on their sashes and trim, which is why our standing as anEPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm matters on a Swarthmore job as much as the windowsthemselves.
Swarthmore's olderhomes often have tall, narrow original windows with detailed casings that givethe rooms their proportion. We can replicate those sightlines and grillepatterns in an efficient modern unit, so the upgrade is felt in comfort andquiet rather than seen. Where trim is worth saving, we work carefully around itand restore it as we go.
In a walkableborough like Swarthmore, curb appeal matters, and replacement windows are oneof the clearest ways to freshen a facade without altering its character. Wehelp you keep the proportions and detailing that make the street what it is.Inside, you gain quieter rooms and steadier temperatures, so the upgrade isfelt as much as it is seen from the sidewalk.
Seeing a window inperson settles questions a catalog cannot, from sightlines to hardware feel.
