Full-Frame Window Replacement

Full-Frame Window Replacement in Buffalo

When the old frame and sill are past saving, a full-frame replacement is the right job. We remove the entire window down to the rough opening, which lets us repair rotted framing and failed flashing before the new unit goes in. It is also the method that lets you change the size of an opening. Civilwarweb fabricates and installs full-frame windows that fit the house exactly, a common fix on older Buffalo homes off Bailey Avenue where water has worked into the sills.

Why Homeowners Choose Full-Frame

• You fix the hidden problems. Taking the opening down to the studs exposes rot and bad flashing so it gets corrected, not covered up.
• You can resize. Full-frame lets you enlarge, shrink, or reshape an opening in a way an insert cannot.
• A better long-term seal. New flashing tape, expanding foam, and a fresh sill pan mean the opening sheds Lake Erie weather for decades.

Our Process

We measure the rough opening, pull the old unit and trim, and inspect the framing for rot or moisture. We repair what needs it, flash the opening, set the new window plumb and square, foam the gaps, and finish the interior stops and exterior trim. Most full-frame installs on a Buffalo home are wrapped in a day or two per elevation once the units arrive.
