Your windows play a massive role in your home's comfort, security, energy efficiency, and curb appeal. When they begin to fail, you feel it—literally.

Signs It's Time to Replace Your Windows

Not sure if you need new windows? Look out for these common warning signs that your current windows are failing:

• Drafts and Temperature Fluctuations: If you feel a breeze when standing near a closed window, the seals have failed.
• High Energy Bills: Old, single-pane or poorly insulated windows force your HVAC system to work overtime to maintain a comfortable temperature.
• Condensation Between Glass Panes: If your double-pane windows look foggy and you can't wipe it away, the insulating gas has escaped and the seal is broken.
• Difficulty Opening or Closing: Windows that stick, jam, or refuse to stay open are a safety hazard and indicate warped frames or failing balance mechanisms.
• Decaying Frames or Leaks: Soft, rotted wood around your windows or water pooling on the sill means moisture is penetrating your home's envelope, which can lead to larger structural issues and siding damage.
• Outside Noise: If you can clearly hear traffic, lawnmowers, or neighbors while your windows are shut, your windows lack proper acoustic insulation.

Premium Energy-Efficient Windows

We don't install builder-grade, off-the-shelf windows. We install premium, custom-manufactured replacement windows engineered for the Mid-Atlantic climate. Our windows feature advanced technologies designed to save you money:

Window Styles We Install

Every home is unique. We offer a wide variety of window styles, colors, and grid patterns to perfectly match your home's architecture:

• Double-Hung Windows: The most popular choice. Both the top and bottom sashes move, and they tilt inward for incredibly easy cleaning from inside your home.
• Casement Windows: Hinged on the side and open outward with a crank. They offer excellent ventilation and an unobstructed view.
• Bay and Bow Windows: Create a stunning architectural focal point, add interior space, and allow light to enter from multiple angles.
• Sliding Windows: Perfect for wide openings where you want a large, unobstructed view and easy horizontal operation.
• Picture Windows: Large, fixed windows that do not open, designed to frame beautiful outdoor views and maximize natural light.
• Sliding Glass Doors: We also replace old, sticky patio doors with smooth-gliding, energy-efficient sliding glass door systems.

Our Professional Installation Process

The highest quality window in the world will fail if it is installed poorly. At Adkins Contracting, we are meticulous about our installation process. We do not use subcontractors to slap windows in and run.

1. Custom Measurement: We precisely measure every opening so your new windows are custom-built to fit perfectly, eliminating the need for excessive shimming and caulking.
2. Careful Removal & Inspection: We carefully remove your old windows and inspect the rough opening for any signs of wood rot or water damage, repairing issues before proceeding.
3. Level & Plumb Installation: We set the new window perfectly level and plumb, securing it tightly into the framing.
4. Low-Expansion Foam Insulation: We seal the gap between the window and the rough framing with specialized low-expansion foam to completely block drafts without bowing the window frame.
5. Custom Aluminum Wrapping: This is crucial. We custom-bend PVC-coated aluminum on-site to wrap your exterior wood trim. This creates a beautiful, weather-tight seal that means you will never have to paint your exterior window trim again.

If you are undergoing a larger exterior renovation, we seamlessly coordinate your window replacement with our siding installation and gutter services for a complete transformation.
