Full-frame replacement means we take out the entire window, sash, frame, trim, everything down to the rough opening in the wall. It's the right call when your existing frames are rotted, water-damaged, or so out of square that a new insert wouldn't seal properly. It's also your chance to fix problems hiding behind the old frame, like water damage or missing insulation instead of just patching them and hoping they aren't rotting where you can't see.

The payoff is a window that performs like it did when the house was new: better insulation around the frame, and no drafts sneaking through gaps the old frame left behind. On rotting drafty windows, or in older Leavenworth homes it's often the option that actually solves the problem instead of hiding it.

Kansas weather is unpredictable. If hail or wind-blown debris cracked a pane, punched through a screen, or bent a frame, we can usually get the opening secured the same day and a permanent replacement ordered right away.

We also work with insurance claims regularly. That means documenting the damage with photos, writing up an itemized estimate your adjuster can actually use, and matching the replacement to your home's existing windows so it doesn't stick out. If the storm got several windows at once, we'll assess all of them, hail damage isn't always obvious, and a cracked seal you miss now becomes a condensating, leaking window next year.

Not every ding needs a full replacement. If a metal repair will do it, that's what we'll recommend. As long as it's weather proof.

Whole-house window replacement varies greatly typically runs anywhere from $2,000 to $20,000+. That's a wide range because houses vary greatly depending on the window type and count. A small ranch with a few standard double-hung vinyl windows sits at the low end, while a larger two-story with twenty openings, bay windows, or tons of wood rot repairs need climbs toward the top.

If you're watching the budget, the standard vinyl double-hung is where to start. It's the most common window for a reason, the classic up-and-down style you see on most homes, it costs less than casements, sliders, or specialty shapes, and it does everything most rooms need.

The final price depends on qaulity factors as well. How aggressive do you want to protect against the elements? Double-pane vs. triple-pane glass, frame material, size, and any special features. 

The fastest way to a real number for your house: Call or text us a few photos, and we'll send back an estimate range the same day, or schedule a time to take a look at any potential rotting, or water damage.
