South Capitol replacement windows
Putting the right windows back in South Capitol's older homes
Walk Don Gaspar or Galisteo Street and you'll see houses where every decade left its own window: an original wood double-hung, an aluminum slider from the 1970s, a vinyl unit from a quick flip. Replacing them is a chance to make a South Capitol house look like one house again.
Getting the proportions back
Bungalows and cottages here were designed around windows of a certain shape, often tall double-hungs or several units grouped together on the front. When those were swapped for whatever size fit, the facade lost its rhythm.
We measure the original rough openings, not just the window that's there today. Where an opening was filled in or narrowed during an earlier replacement, we'll show you what restoring it would involve, and whether city review would be part of that.
Styles that suit the neighborhood
Grouped double-hungs
Two or three units joined side by side, a common look on front rooms of older cottages and bungalows. Joined frames can be ordered as one assembly.
Territorial double-hungs
Taller units with divided upper sash, sized to sit under painted wood trim and pedimented heads on Territorial houses.
Casements in stuccoed additions
Later additions and back rooms often suit casements, which seal tightly and open fully on a small wall.
Why homeowners near the Capitol call us
South Capitol is minutes from our Pacheco Street office, so a quick look at a single opening or a second visit to compare samples is never a production. We know the area's mix of wood-frame, brick and stuccoed houses, and how differently each one comes apart.
South Capitol window questions
Someone replaced my old windows with smaller ones. Can the original size come back?
Often, yes. If the original opening is still behind the infill, we can open it back up and fit a window of the original size. It does involve wall and trim work, and on the street side it may need review, so we'll walk through the cost and steps first.
Can you match the windows in a rental I own next door?
Yes. We can quote both houses together and use the same style and finish, which keeps the two properties consistent and simplifies ordering.
Are grouped front windows replaced as one unit or separately?
Either way works. Joining them at the factory gives a tidy, strong assembly, while separate units can be easier to carry in and install in a tight space. We'll recommend one based on your opening.
