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 means rotted framing and failed flashing get repaired before the new unit ever goes in. Danielritchie recommends this method for older Grand Rapids homes near Wealthy Street where decades of moisture have worked into the surrounding wood, or when you want to change the window size.

Why Choose Full-Frame

• Fixes hidden damage. Once the opening is exposed, we can replace punky studs, add new flashing tape, and correct water problems that an insert would simply cover up.
• Changes the size. Full-frame lets you enlarge an opening for an egress window or reshape it, which insert replacement cannot do.
• Full performance. With a fresh weather-resistant barrier under IRC R703 and a properly sealed frame, the finished window performs the way its NFRC label promises.

Our Process

We measure the rough opening, order the unit to those exact numbers, and remove the old window and frame. We inspect and repair the framing, flash the opening with proper tape, set the new unit level and plumb, insulate the gap with low-expansion foam, and finish the interior and exterior trim. Most single openings are done the same day.
