Full-Frame Window Replacement

Full-Frame Window Replacement in Grand Rapids

Full-frame replacement removes the entire old window down to the rough opening, including the frame and sill. That is the method to choose when the existing frame is rotted, out of square, or you want to change the window size. Backyardbeansandgrains uses it to fix the things a pocket install would hide, then set a new unit that seals for the long haul.

Why Choose Full-Frame

• Fixes hidden damage. Once the old frame is out, we can see and repair failed flashing and any rot in the framing before the new window goes in. On older homes near Fulton Street, that step alone prevents future leaks.
• Restores the seal. New flashing tape and a full weather barrier tie the opening back into the wall, so wind-driven rain sheds away instead of soaking the sill.
• Opens up options. Because the opening is fully exposed, you can resize, change the style, or add an egress window where a smaller unit used to be.

Our Process

We pull the old window to the studs, inspect and repair the framing, and re-flash the opening. Then we set the new unit plumb and level, insulate the perimeter with low-expansion foam, and finish the interior and exterior trim so the job looks original to the house. Most single openings are done the same day.
