You know those rooms that are always too hot in summer and freezing in winter? That stops when your windows actually seal properly. New windows cut your energy costs by keeping conditioned air where it belongs—inside your house.
No more cranking the heat because cold air pours through old frames. No more running the AC constantly because your windows leak like sieves. Just consistent temperatures and lower utility bills.
When windows fit right and seal tight, your HVAC system works less and lasts longer. You get the comfort you’re paying for without the waste.
We’ve been handling home improvements across Suffolk County for years. We know Long Island weather—the nor’easters, the humidity, the temperature swings that make cheap windows fail fast.
Most window problems we see come from poor installation, not poor products. Gaps around frames, improper flashing, skipped insulation steps. We handle the details other contractors rush through because we know what happens when you don’t.
Selden homeowners deal with the same weather challenges as the rest of Long Island. We size, seal, and install every window to handle what’s coming—whether that’s January wind or August storms.
First, we measure every opening precisely. Old windows settle and shift, so we don’t assume anything. We check for square, level, and any structural issues that need addressing before new windows go in.
Installation day starts with protecting your floors and furniture. We remove old windows carefully—no unnecessary damage to surrounding trim or siding. Each new window gets properly shimmed, leveled, and secured before any insulation or sealing happens.
The final step is weatherproofing. We seal every gap, install proper flashing, and test each window’s operation. You get windows that open smoothly, lock securely, and keep weather where it belongs. Clean-up is part of the job, not an extra.

Every window installation includes proper sizing, professional-grade sealants, and insulation around the entire frame. We handle permits when required and coordinate inspections to keep your project moving smoothly.
Selden’s coastal location means salt air and moisture challenges that inland areas don’t face. We use corrosion-resistant hardware and marine-grade sealants that won’t fail in humid conditions. Your windows need to handle Long Island weather for decades, not just a few seasons.
You also get our workmanship warranty covering installation defects. If something we installed isn’t performing right, we fix it. No arguing about what’s covered or pointing fingers at the manufacturer.
Most single-family homes in Selden take 1-2 days for complete window replacement, depending on how many windows you’re replacing and any structural issues we find. We typically install 8-12 windows per day when everything goes smoothly.
Weather can slow things down—we won’t install windows in heavy rain or when temperatures are too extreme for proper sealing. It’s better to wait a day than deal with leaks later.
If you’re doing the whole house, we usually start with the most problematic windows first. That way you get immediate relief from drafts and energy loss while we finish the rest of the project.
Vinyl windows don’t rot, warp, or need painting like wood windows do. In Selden’s humid climate, that matters. Wood looks great initially but requires ongoing maintenance to prevent moisture damage and decay.
Aluminum windows conduct heat and cold, making them less energy-efficient than vinyl. They also corrode in salt air, which is a real concern this close to the water. Vinyl stays stable regardless of weather conditions.
Quality vinyl windows have welded corners and multi-chamber frames for better insulation. The frames won’t expand and contract like aluminum, so seals stay tight longer. Less maintenance, better energy performance, and lower long-term costs.
Most window replacements in existing openings don’t require permits in Suffolk County, but enlarging openings or structural changes do. We check with the Town of Brookhaven building department when there’s any question about permit requirements.
If permits are needed, we handle the paperwork and coordinate inspections. It adds a few days to the timeline but ensures everything meets code. Better to do it right than deal with problems when you sell your house.
New construction and additions always require permits and inspections. We’re familiar with local building codes and inspector preferences, so we know what they’re looking for during inspections.
Homeowners in Selden typically see 15-25% reduction in heating and cooling costs after replacing single-pane or failed double-pane windows. The exact savings depend on your current windows’ condition and your home’s overall energy efficiency.
Houses built before 1980 usually have the biggest savings potential because old windows leak so much air. Even newer windows can save money if the seals have failed or installation was poor originally.
Energy-efficient windows with low-E coatings and argon gas filling perform better than basic double-pane units. The upfront cost difference usually pays for itself within 3-5 years through lower utility bills, especially with Long Island’s energy rates.
We provide a workmanship warranty covering installation defects like air leaks, water infiltration, or operational problems caused by improper installation. This is separate from the manufacturer’s warranty on the window itself.
Manufacturer warranties typically cover 10-20 years on vinyl frames and hardware, with shorter coverage on seals and moving parts. We help you understand what’s covered and handle warranty claims when needed.
Our installation warranty means if something we did isn’t working right, we fix it at no charge. Most installation problems show up within the first year, usually during the first major weather event after installation.
Older homes often have settling, non-standard opening sizes, or structural issues that need addressing before new windows go in. We handle these challenges regularly and know how to work with older construction methods.
Sometimes we need to rebuild parts of the opening or add structural support, especially in homes from the 1950s and earlier. We identify these issues during measurement and include any necessary prep work in our estimate.
Historic homes may have restrictions on window styles or materials. We work with homeowners to find solutions that meet preservation requirements while improving energy efficiency and functionality.
