Full-Frame Window Replacement

Full-Frame Window Replacement in Syracuse

Some openings need more than a new sash. Full-frame replacement removes the entire old window down to the rough opening, including the frame and sill, so any rotted framing and failed flashing get repaired before the new unit goes in. Wharc-online recommends this method for damaged frames and for anyone changing the size of a window in an older Syracuse home.

Why Choose Full-Frame

• Fixes hidden damage. Water that got past old flashing often rots the framing behind the trim. Full-frame is the only method that lets us find and repair it, common in houses off Butternut Street.
• Resets the flashing. We install a fresh, correctly lapped flashing and weather barrier under IRC R703, so the opening sheds Syracuse rain and snowmelt for good.
• Allows size changes. Because the opening is fully exposed, we can resize it for a larger picture window or a code-compliant egress unit.

Our Process

We field measure the opening, then remove the old window down to the studs. The crew repairs any bad framing, installs new flashing, sets the replacement unit level, and foams the perimeter with low-expansion insulation. Fresh interior and exterior trim finishes the job. A full-frame opening takes longer than an insert, and we build that into your written schedule.
