Expert Windows in Aquinnah, Massachusetts

Plan on one day per eight to ten openings once the units are on site. Dukes County weather does move schedules — nor'easters that load a wall with water and wind from the same direction for hours is the usual reason — so we build a weather margin into the date we give you rather than promising one we cannot hold.

The three we see most often here: storm windows hiding how far gone the primary sash actually is; double-pane units from the nineties with blown seals and permanent fogging; and bedroom openings that no longer meet egress once a smaller insert is fitted. Locally, extreme salt spray corrosion comes up repeatedly on martha's vineyard gingerbread cottages.

That is on us. We pull the permit from Aquinnah, sequence the inspections around the work, and attend them. A contractor who asks you to pull your own permit is telling you something.

We work mainly in vinyl double-hung, wood-clad, composite frame, and we are certified installers for Andersen, Harvey, Pella. Which of those makes sense for your Aquinnah home depends on exposure and budget, and we will tell you when the cheaper option is the right one.

All of it, including Aquinnah Center, West Aquinnah, South Aquinnah and the rest of ZIP 02535. We also work throughout Dukes County.

You see it before we cover it. The rate for hidden damage is written into the contract up front, precisely so nobody is negotiating while the house is open.
