Door & Window Replacement in St. Charles, Missouri

St. Charles homes and this kind of project

A window or door replacement in St. Charles means working in everything from 1800s brick to 1990s subdivisions, so on our first visit we look at each opening for square, rot and water staining to decide between insert and full-frame.

The housing stock here: nineteenth-century brick in the historic core, early twentieth-century bungalows and four-squares in midtown, postwar ranches, 1980s to 2000s subdivisions to the west and south, and New Town's neo-traditional homes.

Original wood sash can often be restored, and districts may require it.

Lots, exteriors and approvals in St. Charles

Historic district properties need approval for exterior changes, including windows, siding, porches and sometimes paint colors. Wood porch restoration is common. Elsewhere, decks, patio covers and siding replacement are the routine exterior jobs.

Original wood siding and windows on St. Charles's older houses can often be restored for less than the cost of quality replacements, and in historic districts that may be required. We repair with epoxy and dutchmen where sound, replace in kind where not, and use lead-safe methods throughout.

What is included

Our St. Charles window and door scope includes measuring, ordering, removal and disposal, framing repair, flashing, installation, insulation, interior casing, exterior trim or aluminum capping, caulking, paint and hardware.

We take on window or door replacement work across St. Charles, from Frenchtown to New Town at St. Charles and midtown St. Charles.

What we watch for

Wood brickmould around vinyl windows on St. Charles brick fronts rots at the lower corners. We replace it with PVC during the window installation.

Working on tight historic blocks near the river and ordinary suburban lots farther west, as we do in St. Charles, we plan access for window installers and a trim carpenter before the first delivery arrives.
