Full-Frame Window Replacement

Full-Frame Window Replacement in Syracuse

Full-frame replacement removes the entire old window down to the rough opening, including the frame and sill, so any rotted framing or failed flashing can be repaired before the new unit goes in. Pdc2015 uses this method when frames are water-damaged or when you want to change the size of an opening. It is the right call for a lot of older Syracuse homes where decades of weather have gotten behind the trim.

Why Choose Full-Frame

• Fixes hidden damage. Down to the studs, we can see and repair rot, correct flashing, and re-insulate the rough opening.
• Changes size or style. Full-frame lets you enlarge an opening, add an egress window, or switch from a fixed pane to an operable sash.
• A proper weather seal. New flashing tape and expanding foam mean the wall sheds water the way IRC R703 intends, not just the glass.

Our Process

We template the opening for its real, settled dimensions, common on the century-old blocks around Butternut Street. Then we strip the opening, repair the framing, install the new unit level and plumb, flash and foam the perimeter, and finish the interior and exterior trim. Most single openings take a few hours, and we check the U-factor and SHGC on the NFRC label so the window suits our climate zone.
