You know those rooms that are always too hot in summer and freezing in winter? The ones where you can actually feel the draft around the windows? That ends with proper window replacement.
Quality windows don’t just look better. They eliminate those temperature swings that make certain rooms uncomfortable. Your heating and cooling systems work less, your energy bills drop, and every room becomes livable year-round.
The difference is immediate. Customers tell us they notice the change the first night after installation. No more cranking the thermostat. No more avoiding certain rooms during extreme weather. Just consistent, comfortable temperatures throughout your home.
We’ve been installing windows in University Gardens since 2002, back when most contractors didn’t understand how to work with these beautiful 1920s and 1930s homes properly. Tudor and Colonial architecture require specific knowledge about plaster walls, original framing, and preserving historical character.
Your neighbors trust us because we know these homes. We understand that a $849,000 investment deserves contractors who won’t cut corners or damage original features during installation. Every project gets the same attention whether it’s a single window repair or a whole-house replacement.
We’re the local company your neighbors call when they want it done right the first time. Fully licensed, bonded, and insured with over two decades of satisfied customers throughout Nassau County.
First, we come out for a free assessment. We measure each opening, check the existing frames, and explain exactly what your home needs. No pressure, just honest recommendations based on your specific situation and budget.
Next, we order your windows custom-made for each opening. This takes about 2-3 weeks, but it means perfect fits and no surprises during installation. We handle all the details and keep you updated throughout the process.
Installation day, our crew arrives on time with everything needed. We protect your floors and furniture, remove old windows carefully, and install new ones with proper sealing and insulation. Clean-up is included, and we walk through everything with you before we leave. Most homes are completed in one day.

Your window installation includes everything needed for a proper job. Custom measuring ensures perfect fits for your home’s unique openings. Professional-grade sealants and insulation prevent air leaks that cause energy loss.
We handle all window styles common in University Gardens homes. Double-hung windows for traditional looks. Casement windows for maximum ventilation. Bay and bow windows that add character and space. Each installation includes proper flashing, trim work, and interior finishing.
University Gardens’ older homes often need additional work around window openings. We’re equipped to handle frame repairs, sill replacement, and matching existing trim profiles. Your installation includes everything needed to maintain your home’s architectural integrity while upgrading performance.
Most University Gardens homeowners see 20-40% reductions in heating and cooling costs after window replacement. With average energy bills around $2,400 annually in Nassau County, that translates to $480-960 saved per year.
The exact savings depend on your current windows’ condition and the efficiency rating of your new ones. Single-pane windows from the 1940s-1960s are the biggest energy wasters. Replacing them with modern double or triple-pane windows with low-E coatings typically pays for itself within 7-10 years through energy savings alone.
We can calculate projected savings for your specific home during your free estimate. We’ll show you the energy ratings and explain exactly how much improvement you can expect based on your current situation.
Double-hung windows are the most popular choice because they maintain the traditional look while offering modern efficiency. They work perfectly with Tudor and Colonial architecture common in University Gardens.
For homes with original divided-light windows, we offer options with authentic-looking grilles between glass panes. This preserves the historical appearance while providing easy cleaning and maximum energy efficiency. Casement windows work well for areas needing extra ventilation.
We always recommend staying consistent with your home’s architectural style. A 1920s Tudor looks best with windows that complement its period character, not modern styles that clash with the original design. We’ll show you options that enhance your home’s value while improving performance.
Most University Gardens homes need 1-2 days for complete window replacement. A typical 8-10 window project is usually finished in one full day with our experienced crew.
Larger homes or those requiring frame repairs might take an additional day. We always give you an accurate timeline during your estimate so you can plan accordingly. Weather can affect scheduling, but we work year-round except during severe storms.
The key is proper preparation. We order everything in advance, pre-cut trim pieces, and arrive with all tools and materials needed. This eliminates delays and gets your home sealed up quickly. Most customers are surprised how smoothly the process goes when handled by experienced professionals.
We handle all permit requirements for your window installation project. Nassau County typically requires permits for window replacements, especially in historic areas like University Gardens where architectural review may be needed.
Our team knows local building codes and inspection requirements. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and ensure everything meets or exceeds code standards. This protects you from future issues when selling your home or filing insurance claims.
The permit process usually adds 1-2 weeks to project timeline but it’s essential for legal compliance. We include all permit costs in your estimate so there are no surprises. Everything is handled professionally from start to final inspection approval.
We specialize in working with plaster walls common in University Gardens’ older homes. Our installation methods minimize wall disturbance, but we’re fully equipped to handle any repairs needed.
Plaster repair is included in our service when necessary. We carry matching materials and have the skills to seamlessly patch and paint any areas affected during installation. Most jobs have minimal wall impact, but we guarantee to leave everything looking perfect.
This is why experience matters with historic homes. Contractors unfamiliar with plaster construction often cause unnecessary damage. We’ve worked on hundreds of University Gardens homes and know exactly how to install windows without damaging original walls or trim.
Yes, federal tax credits cover 30% of energy-efficient window costs up to $1,200 total through 2032. This applies to ENERGY STAR certified windows that meet specific efficiency requirements.
New York State also offers various rebates and incentives for energy improvements. NYSERDA’s programs can provide additional savings for qualifying homeowners. We help identify which incentives apply to your specific project and window selections.
The paperwork is straightforward. We provide all documentation needed for tax credits including product specifications and installation certificates. Most customers save several hundred dollars through these programs, making quality windows more affordable than ever.
