Full-Frame Window Replacement

Full-Frame Window Replacement in Buffalo

When the frame itself has failed, an insert will not save it. Full-frame replacement removes the entire old window down to the rough opening, including the frame and sill, so we can repair rotted framing and failed flashing before the new unit goes in. Thejackcondo uses this method on Buffalo homes where water has gotten behind the trim or where you want to change the window size.

Why Choose Full-Frame

• Fixes hidden damage. Old wood windows in Erie County often hide rot and soft sill framing. Going to the rough opening lets us find and repair it, not cover it up.
• Proper flashing. We install new flashing tape and expanding foam insulation so the opening is sealed and weather-resistant per IRC R703 guidance.
• Fresh, correct fit. With the opening exposed, the new window sits square and tight, which matters in older homes where the original frame has racked over the decades.

Our Process

We remove the old window and trim, inspect and repair the rough opening, set and shim the new unit, flash and foam it, then finish the interior and exterior trim. We read the NFRC label with you so the U-factor and low-E glass package match our climate. Most single-window jobs are done in a day.
