We had half of our windows redone and were so happy we chose GNHE. The crew was fast, clean, and the installs looked beautiful. Pricing came in lower than other quotes we received, and we’ll definitely be calling again when we’re ready to do the rest.

No pressure. Just a clear estimate.

Every retrofit is completed with clean Cove trim inside and durable aluminum capping outside for a neat, weather-resistant finish that holds up year after year.

With this method, the entire existing unit — including the frame, casing, and jamb extensions — is completely removed and rebuilt from the opening out. A full-frame replacement delivers superior insulation, better structural support, and the opportunity to add new vinyl brickmould for a clean, modern exterior appearance that lasts.
