Window Replacement in Monmouth, ME

Vinyl window replacement is the right fit for most Monmouth houses from the 1980s on, the half of the town built after its 1986 median year. When the glass in one of those units is "fogged up between the panes," the insulated glass unit has lost its seal, and a new window is the fix we offer.

When the frame is still square and dry, an insert costs less and leaves the trim in place, and when ice-dam water has softened the sill, we go full-frame. Low-expansion foam fills the gap around the new frame, and the pan and tape handle any water.

Wood window replacement fits Monmouth's oldest housing, 15.9 percent of it built by 1939, in a town first settled as Freetown in 1776 and 1777 and later called one of the best agricultural towns in the state. Those farmhouses and village houses deserve wood-clad sash (the glazed frames that open and close) made to their own pane pattern.

The Blossom House on Main Street, a five-bay Federal cape from about 1808 on a granite foundation, is on the National Register. A house of that age keeps its look only when the new sash match the old layout, which is why we order six-over-six where six-over-six was there.

Entry door replacement in Monmouth turns on the frame: a new slab can go into a sound old jamb, while a soft threshold or a racked frame calls for a complete prehung door system. We set that system on a sill pan, shim it behind the hinges and seal it with low-expansion foam.

Finishing matters once the door is hung. Therma-Tru's warranty wants its steel slabs finished within two weeks and its fiberglass slabs within six months, on all six sides, so we give you that schedule on install day.
