2. Energy Modeling – Our software recommends the best glass package for each facade.
3. Scheduling & Permitting – We handle permits and coordinate deliveries.
4. Removal & Prep – Old units are recycled, and new sills are precisely shimmed.
5. Install & Seal – We use ASTM E2112 standards for sealing, verified by blower-door tests.
6. Final Walkthrough – Receive a digital punch list and lifetime workmanship record.
Frame Materials
• Fiberglass withstands freeze-thaw cycles.
• Vinyl offers cost-effective performance with insulation backers.
• Engineered wood with aluminum cladding suits historic aesthetics.
Glazing Options
• Triple-pane IGUs enhance R-value, ideal for north-facing areas.
• Low-E coatings reduce radiant heat, lowering AC loads.
• Argon or krypton fills increase efficiency with minimal cost.
• Historic district compliance may require custom designs and inspections.
• Winter installations need heated enclosures, raising labor costs by 8-12%.
• State energy rebates can offset costs for high-performance glass.
• Comprehensive coordination: materials, dumpsters, and inspections managed by our AI assistant.
• Real-time change orders: adjust counts and pricing on-site.
• Transparent pricing: view labor, mark-ups, and taxes before finalizing quotes.
