Expert Windows in New Bedford, Massachusetts

The three we see most often here: lead paint on original trim, which changes how the opening has to be handled; original single-pane sashes with failed glazing putty and no weatherstripping left; and double-pane units from the nineties with blown seals and permanent fogging. Locally, deteriorating asbestos siding comes up repeatedly on mill worker cottages.

Sometimes. On a mill worker cottages we can often match a single elevation closely enough that it reads as original. Where the existing material has faded past matching, we will say so rather than sell you a repair you will be unhappy with.

Plan on one to three days for a typical whole-house replacement. Bristol County weather does move schedules — salt-laden air that strips coatings and pits fasteners years earlier than inland weather does is the usual reason — so we build a weather margin into the date we give you rather than promising one we cannot hold.

Beds and walkways are covered before anything comes off the wall, there is a container on site from day one, and we magnet-sweep every evening. It matters more than people expect on a tight New Bedford lot.

All of it, including New Bedford Center, South New Bedford, North New Bedford and the rest of ZIP 02740. We also work throughout Bristol County.

We stop, photograph it and show you before covering anything back up. The repair rate is agreed in the contract before we start, so there is no renegotiation with your wall open.
