Double-Hung Replacement Windows for North Carolina Homes
The traditional workhorse — two operable sashes, easy to clean, and the right look for almost any older NC home. Custom-fit and installed by our crew.
Signs Your Double-Hung Has Aged Out
The patterns that tell you it's time. None subtle once you're looking for them.
Spot one or two? Time to call. We'll come measure and tell you straight whether it's a fix or a full replacement — no pressure.
- Symptom
Sashes that won't stay up
Original spring-balance hardware has worn out. The window slides down on its own — a tell that the internals have aged out, not just the seal.
- Symptom
Painted shut at the meeting rail
Common on pre-1980 wood originals. Once the paint locks the rails together, the operable window has become a fixed one.
- Symptom
Visible gaps at the side rails
When you can see daylight along the jamb or feel a draft with the sash closed, the seal has failed. There's no fix short of replacement.
- Symptom
Wood rot at the bottom rail
Pre-1980 wood double-hungs are vulnerable where rainwater pools at the lowest point of the sash. Soft wood there means the rail has aged out.
How We Install Double-Hung Windows
Double-hung performance is three things working together — the measurement, the material, the install. Get any one wrong and the rest leaks.

MEASURE
Measured to the Opening, Not the Plans
Older NC homes settle. The rough opening on the plans rarely matches the rough opening on the wall — we measure to what exists, then order to that spec.
- Square, plumb, width-at-three
- Custom-fit every opening
- Order from actual, not nominal
- Workmanship guaranteed
MATERIAL
Frame Choice by Home Era
Vinyl for most NC homes. Fiberglass for long-haul ownership. Wood for restoration-grade matching on pre-1970 homes in Louisburg and Franklinton.
- Vinyl — strong cost-to-value
- Fiberglass — 40-50 yr seal life
- Wood — historic restorations
- ENERGY STAR® across every line
INSTALL
Where Premium Windows Fail
A correctly installed budget double-hung beats a poorly installed premium line every time. Flashing, foam, seal — we do all three on every opening, no shortcuts.
- Flashed every opening
- Foamed and sealed
- Same crew start to finish
- Installation workmanship guaranteed
