Our Window Services in Racine, WI
Energy-Efficient Windows
Energy performance here is a heating problem before it is anything else. The label stapled to a replacement window carries four numbers, and in a climate this cold at least two of them get read backwards by people who learned the trade somewhere warm.
Vinyl Replacement Windows
For most of the houses in this county, vinyl is what we would put in our own, and we say that before quoting anything dearer. Whether it stays the correct choice comes down to frame color and unit width, not the brand on the sticker.
Fiberglass Windows
Fiberglass costs meaningfully more than vinyl, and on three of your four walls it will not pay that difference back in your lifetime. On the fourth it might.
Clad Wood Windows
Racine's pre-1930 houses are full of stained fir and quartersawn oak casing that no extruded profile is ever going to match. Wanting the inside of the window to belong to the room is the only good reason to buy clad wood, and it is a good one.
Aluminum Windows
Aluminum windows sit on our price list and we will still push back if you want them in a house. Through a Racine January an untreated metal frame runs a cold path straight across your wall, and you meet it every morning as water pooled on the stool.
Double-Hung Windows
Most of the older housing in this city runs on double-hungs with cast iron weights hanging in a hollow pocket beside each jamb. What you decide to do with that pocket is the most consequential choice in the whole job, and half the bids you get will not mention it.
Casement and Awning Windows
Wind a casement shut and the sash draws itself hard into a compression gasket, which is why it beats every sliding style on air and water alike. That advantage runs out somewhere, and on the wall facing open water in Racine it runs out at the hardware.
Sliding Windows
A horizontal slider is the cheapest correct window you can buy for a sheltered wall and the wrong one for an exposed wall. Both halves of that are true, and most quotes only mention whichever half helps close the sale that afternoon.
Bay and Bow Windows
Treat a bay as a window order and it will surprise you twice. What you are buying is a small roof, a cantilevered floor and a run of sash bundled as one item, and in Racine the roof decides whether you enjoy it.
Picture and Architectural Windows
Here is the recommendation that surprises people. On the wall of your Racine house that looks at the water, the best window is very often the one that does not open at all, and we will argue for it even when you came in wanting a crank.
Egress Windows and Wells
Every article about basement escape openings spends its time on the clear-opening arithmetic. The numbers are worth knowing and your inspector will check them, but in Racine the part that goes wrong is almost never the window.
Impact and Laminated Glass
Somebody has quoted you hurricane impact windows for a house in Racine. Ask that salesperson which code provision they believe applies on this shoreline, and listen carefully, because the honest answer is none of them, and we are not going to sell you the package either.
Patio Sliding Doors
The sill of a sliding patio door is the hardest detail in a house. It has to drain water, carry rollers, take foot traffic, sit near the plane of the deck outside, and stay tight against wind.
French Doors
A hinged pair seals by squeezing rather than sliding, which is why we recommend french doors on the exposed side of a Racine house where we would refuse a slider. The mechanism that makes them tight is also what goes wrong when details are skipped.
Entry Doors
Start with the case for keeping what you have. Racine has many houses built between 1900 and 1930 with solid quartersawn oak or fir entry doors, and those slabs are better material than anything on a showroom floor.
Window Screens
A screen is the least expensive item on our price list and the one homeowners live with in the worst condition for the longest. On a lakefront street they take more abuse than anywhere inland, and the cause is less the weather than what the wind carries in it.
Glass Repair and Insulated Units
When somebody calls about one fogged window, we ask which side of the house it is on before we ask anything else. In this city the answer is east far more often than chance would explain, and knowing that saves everyone a trip.
Commercial Storefront Glass
Commercial glazing runs on an assumption that surprises people who only know houses. A storefront system is designed to let water into the glazing pocket and then get it back out again.

Energy-Efficient Windows
Energy performance here is a heating problem before it is anything else. The label stapled to a replacement window carries four numbers, and in a climate this cold at least two of them get read backwards by people who learned the trade somewhere warm. Start with U-factor, which measures how fast heat escapes.

Vinyl Replacement Windows
For most of the houses in this county, vinyl is what we would put in our own, and we say that before quoting anything dearer. Whether it stays the correct choice comes down to frame color and unit width, not the brand on the sticker. Rigid polyvinyl chloride moves a lot with temperature.

Clad Wood Windows
Racine's pre-1930 houses are full of stained fir and quartersawn oak casing that no extruded profile is ever going to match. Wanting the inside of the window to belong to the room is the only good reason to buy clad wood, and it is a good one. Clad means a wood frame and sash wearing an aluminum or fiberglass skin on the outside.

Aluminum Windows

Double-Hung Windows
Most of the older housing in this city runs on double-hungs with cast iron weights hanging in a hollow pocket beside each jamb. What you decide to do with that pocket is the most consequential choice in the whole job, and half the bids you get will not mention it. The pocket is a void inside your wall, running the full height of the opening on both sides, with no insulation and usually no air barrier.

Casement and Awning Windows
Wind a casement shut and the sash draws itself hard into a compression gasket, which is why it beats every sliding style on air and water alike. That advantage runs out somewhere, and on the wall facing open water in Racine it runs out at the hardware. Open a casement and you have built a sail.

Bay and Bow Windows
Treat a bay as a window order and it will surprise you twice. What you are buying is a small roof, a cantilevered floor and a run of sash bundled as one item, and in Racine the roof decides whether you enjoy it. The head of a bay projects out from the wall and has to shed water on three sides.

Impact and Laminated Glass
Somebody has quoted you hurricane impact windows for a house in Racine. Ask that salesperson which code provision they believe applies on this shoreline, and listen carefully, because the honest answer is none of them, and we are not going to sell you the package either. Impact glazing exists because of wind-borne debris regions, a mapped designation that appears in coastal building codes and covers areas where hurricane winds pick up roof gravel and lumber and throw them at buildings.

Patio Sliding Doors
The sill of a sliding patio door is the hardest detail in a house. It has to drain water, carry rollers, take foot traffic, sit near the plane of the deck outside, and stay tight against wind. On a lake-facing deck, it is where doors fail.

French Doors
A hinged pair seals by squeezing rather than sliding, which is why we recommend french doors on the exposed side of a Racine house where we would refuse a slider. The mechanism that makes them tight is also what goes wrong when details are skipped. Everything hangs on the astragal, the vertical member where the two panels meet.

Entry Doors
Start with the case for keeping what you have. Racine has many houses built between 1900 and 1930 with solid quartersawn oak or fir entry doors, and those slabs are better material than anything on a showroom floor. If yours is sound, we would rather rebuild it.

Window Screens

Glass Repair and Insulated Units
When somebody calls about one fogged window, we ask which side of the house it is on before we ask anything else. In this city the answer is east far more often than chance would explain, and knowing that saves everyone a trip. The reason is the daily cycle rather than the season.

Commercial Storefront Glass
Commercial glazing runs on an assumption that surprises people who only know houses. A storefront system is designed to let water into the glazing pocket and then get it back out again. Water management, not water exclusion, is the whole engineering idea, and it is where these systems fail.

What Racine property owners ask us
Which window services does Racine Window Replacement handle?
Everything listed on this page, residential and commercial, across Racine and Racine County's lakefront. Work is done by our own crews rather than handed to whoever is cheapest that week, which is the only way the workmanship warranty means anything.
Can I combine more than one service in a single job?
Yes, and it is usually cheaper. Bundling window work into one mobilization saves setup, disposal and travel, and it means one crew, one schedule and one written free estimate instead of three contractors blaming each other.
Do you give free estimates for every service?
Every one. We come out, measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and put an itemized free estimate in writing with materials and scope spelled out. No charge, no deposit, and no obligation to book.
What Racine Customers Say
They quoted our east front room and the back bedrooms as two different jobs, which no other bidder did. The front unit cost more and the four in back cost less, and the total came in under the outfit that wanted to put the same window everywhere. Two winters in, no drafts.
Called about one fogged pane expecting the usual pitch. Instead they measured the sealed unit, ordered it, and swapped the glass in the existing sash for a fraction of what a new window would have run. The guy actually talked me out of replacing the other five that were still fine.
Our house has no overhang on the water side and the old sliders leaked every time the wind came onshore. They pulled the whole frame, put a pan under the sill, and hose-tested it while I stood inside with a towel waiting for a drip that never came. Worth every dollar.
Straightforward from the first visit. They explained why the class letter on the label mattered more than the big number the other salesman kept pointing at, filed the permit, showed up when they said, and cleaned the lead dust properly because the place dates to 1926. No surprises on the invoice.
