Replacement Windows Built for Memphis Homes
EcoPitch Roofing & Construction handles window replacement in Memphis, TN, from one storm-cracked pane to every opening in the house. Our crew drives in from our Hernando home base and works across the city, and the job starts with a free in-home assessment: we measure each opening, check the frames, and talk through what you want the new windows to do. The same team that handles roofing in Memphis handles your windows, with the same care for keeping water out of the wall.
The age of a Memphis house says a lot about its windows. Older bungalows and Midtown Craftsman homes often still have original wood sashes that rattle, stick and let air through. Mid-century brick ranches tend to have early aluminum or first-generation double-pane units that conduct heat straight through the frame. Even newer Cordova builds can have windows whose seals have started to fog. Each of those situations needs a different answer, and part of our job is making sure a new window suits the style of the home it goes into.
Signs Your Memphis Windows Are Ready to Go
- Fog between the panes. The insulated seal has failed and the glass is no longer doing its job.
- Drafts and hot spots. You can feel air moving near the frame, or the room by the window is always the hottest one in July.
- Sashes that fight you. Windows that stick, won't stay open, or won't lock.
- Soft or stained frames. Rot, peeling paint or water marks around the sill.
- Storm damage. Cracked or broken glass after hail, wind or flying debris.
Window Styles and Frames We Install
We install double-hung, casement, picture, bay and bow, and sliding windows, in vinyl, fiberglass and aluminum frames. Double-hungs suit most traditional Memphis homes. Casements seal tightly against the frame, which helps with energy efficiency. Picture windows open up a view, and a bay or bow can add light and a bit of floor space to a living room. We help you pick the style, frame and glass that fit your home and your budget, and the window replacement services page has more detail on each option.
Why Mid-South Weather Is Hard on Windows
Long, humid summers push heat through underperforming glass and work moisture into every weak seal and wood frame. Spring storms bring hail, wind-driven rain and debris. Energy-efficient low-E glass cuts the heat coming in, and a properly flashed opening keeps rain out of the wall. If you want the extra margin, our storm window protection uses impact-rated laminated glass that holds together when it is struck instead of shattering into the room. Storm-damaged windows are often covered under homeowner policies, and we document window damage the same way we document a roof claim.
Window Installation in Memphis, TN
Replacement puts a new window into an existing opening. Installation usually means a new rough opening: an addition, a remodel that moves a wall, a finished basement, a garage conversion, or new construction. For these jobs we cut and frame the opening when needed, then install sill, jamb and head flashing in the right order and tie it into the house wrap, so water that gets behind the siding is directed back out. Every unit is operated and locked before we leave. See our window installation page for how we approach new openings.
Repair First When It Makes Sense
Not every bad window needs replacing. A failed seal, a broken lock, worn weatherstripping or one cracked pane can often be fixed for far less. If the frame is sound and only one part has failed, our window repair service is the better buy, and we will tell you so at the assessment.
