Siding in Deal, NJ

The energy gap between old and new windows on Deal homes is significant and measurable. Modern double-pane windows with low-e glass dramatically outperform older single-pane and early double-pane windows. The combination of low-e coating, argon gas fill, and thermally broken frames reduces heat transfer significantly. On an older Deal home with original windows, energy savings from replacement windows are real and measurable.

Style matching matters on older Deal homes and it affects both performance and appearance. Double-hung windows are the standard on most NJ colonial, cape cod, and ranch homes and maintain the character of the original architecture. Casement windows work well on mid-century modern and some contemporary homes. We match the replacement style to what’s appropriate for the home era — we don’t push one style over another.

Yes — in fact that’s the ideal way to approach a full exterior renovation. Windows go in after housewrap and before siding, which creates a properly integrated drainage plane. When we control the full sequence — windows, siding, and trim — we eliminate the flashing and sequencing compromises that happen when different contractors do each phase independently.
