Window Installation Service in Marietta & Metro Atlanta
New windows change everything about your home. They affect how it looks from the street, how comfortable you feel inside, and how much you pay to heat and cool it each month.

Our team handles every step—from measuring your openings to finishing the trim work. We take pride in doing the job right so your new windows look great and perform even better.
Signs You Need New Windows
Not sure if it's time for new windows? Here are some common signs that tell you your windows aren't doing their job anymore.
Drafts Near Windows
If you feel cold air coming through your closed windows in winter, the seals have likely failed. This means your HVAC works harder than it should.
Foggy Glass
Condensation or fog between the glass panes means the seal is broken. Once this happens, the insulating gas has escaped and the window can't be fixed—only replaced.
Hard to Open or Close
Windows that stick, jam, or won't stay open are more than annoying. They could also be a safety issue if you need to exit quickly in an emergency.
High Energy Bills
Old windows let heat escape in winter and cool air escape in summer. If your energy bills keep going up, your windows might be to blame.
Too Much Outside Noise
Can you hear every car that drives by? Modern windows with multiple panes block much more noise than older single-pane windows.
Damaged Frames
Rotting wood, peeling paint, or soft spots around window frames mean water has gotten in. This only gets worse over time and can spread to your walls.
Types of Windows We Install
Every home is different. We install all the popular window styles so you can pick what works best for each room in your Atlanta home.
Double-Hung Windows
The most popular style in American homes. Both the top and bottom parts slide up and down. Many tilt inward so you can clean the outside glass from inside your home. Great for bedrooms and living rooms.
Casement Windows
These windows have hinges on the side and crank open like a door. They seal very tight when closed and catch breezes well when open. A good choice for kitchens and bathrooms.
Sliding Windows
One or both panes slide left and right on a track. They work great for wide openings and are easy to use. Popular for contemporary homes and rooms where you don't want windows swinging out.
Picture Windows
Large fixed windows that don't open. They give you the most light and the best views. Since there are no moving parts, they seal perfectly and cost less than windows that open.
Bay & Bow Windows
These windows stick out from the wall and add space inside. Bay windows have three panels at angles. Bow windows have four or more panels in a gentle curve. Both create cozy nooks and add curb appeal.
Awning Windows
Hinged at the top and open outward from the bottom. You can leave them open during light rain since the glass acts like an awning. Often used above or below other windows.
Window Frame Materials
The frame material affects how your windows look, how long they last, and how much they cost. Here's what you need to know about each option.
Vinyl Windows
The most popular choice for metro Atlanta homeowners. Vinyl windows don't rot, rust, or need painting. They cost less than wood and work well in our humid climate. Most come in white, but some brands offer colors.
Wood Windows
Nothing beats the look of real wood. Wood windows have a warm, classic feel and can be painted any color. They need more care than vinyl—regular painting and sealing to prevent rot, especially in Atlanta's humidity.
Fiberglass Windows
The strongest frames you can buy. Fiberglass expands and contracts at the same rate as glass, so seals last longer. They can be painted and handle extreme temperatures well. Cost more than vinyl but less than wood.
Aluminum Windows
Light and strong with thin frames that let in more light. Modern aluminum windows have thermal breaks to stop heat transfer. Often used in commercial buildings and contemporary home designs.
Energy Efficient Window Features
Today's windows have special features that keep your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Here's what makes modern windows so much better than older ones.
Low-E Glass Coating
A thin invisible coating on the glass that reflects heat. In summer, it keeps hot sun out. In winter, it keeps warm air in. This alone can cut your energy use by 30% compared to regular glass.
Multiple Glass Panes
Double-pane windows have two sheets of glass with a gap between. Triple-pane adds another layer. The air gap acts like insulation. Most Atlanta homes do well with double-pane windows.
Argon Gas Fill
The space between glass panes is often filled with argon gas. This clear, odorless gas insulates better than plain air. It slows heat transfer and makes your windows more efficient.

Our Window Installation Process
We follow a proven process for every window installation job in Atlanta. Here's what to expect when you work with our team.
Measure
We take exact measurements of every window opening. This step is important—windows must fit perfectly.
Order
Your windows are ordered to fit your specific openings. Custom sizes mean a better fit and seal.
Remove
We carefully take out the old windows. We protect your floors and furniture from dust and debris.
Install
New windows go in level and plumb. We seal around the frame to stop air and water leaks.
Finish
We install or repair trim inside and out. Then we clean up and haul away the old windows.
Full-Frame vs Insert Installation
There are two ways to install new windows. The right choice depends on the condition of your current window frames.
Insert Installation
Also called pocket or retrofit installation. We put new windows inside your existing frames. This works when your frames are in good shape with no rot or damage.
- Faster installation—usually one day
- Less mess and disruption
- Lower cost than full-frame
- Keeps existing trim intact
Full-Frame Installation
We remove everything—the old window and the frame around it—down to the rough opening. This is the best choice when frames are damaged, rotted, or you want to change the window size.
- Fixes hidden damage in walls
- Gives you more glass area
- Best long-term solution
- Required for new construction

How Long Does Window Installation Take?
Most homeowners are surprised at how fast window installation goes. For a typical home in Marietta or Atlanta, we can install 10 to 15 windows in a single day using the insert method. Full-frame installation takes longer—usually a day per every 5 to 8 windows.
Here's a rough timeline for what to expect:
1-3
Windows
Half day or less
5-10
Windows
One full day
15+
Windows
Two days or more
Keep in mind that bay windows, bow windows, and specialty shapes take extra time. We'll give you a clear timeline before we start so you can plan your day.
