Drafts Stop When Windows Fit Right

Energy-Efficient Window Replacement in Jersey City

When cold air pushes through the edges of your windows in January or your air conditioning runs nonstop in July, the problem usually comes down to old frames that no longer seal correctly. Many homes in Jersey City still have original windows from decades ago, and those units were not built with modern insulation standards in mind. PNS General Contractor replaces windows in older homes and commercial buildings across the city, installing energy-efficient units that reduce heat loss, lower utility costs, and improve security.

Window replacement involves removing the existing frame and glass assembly, sealing the opening properly, and installing a new unit that fits the exact dimensions of your wall. You can choose from double-pane or triple-pane glass, vinyl or composite frames, and various grid patterns depending on the style of your building. The work can be done as part of a full renovation or scheduled on its own if you just need a few rooms updated.

What's Included in This Service

The process starts with measuring each opening to confirm the new window will fit without gaps. You will see the old unit removed carefully to avoid damaging the surrounding trim or drywall. In Jersey City, many buildings have plaster walls or brick exteriors, so the installer takes extra care around those materials to keep the structure intact.

Once the new window is in place, you will notice the draft disappears immediately. PNS General Contractor uses expanding foam and weatherproof sealant around the frame to block air and moisture from entering. The glass itself has a low-emissivity coating that reflects heat back into the room during winter and keeps it out during summer.

The service includes removal and disposal of the old windows, installation of new units, interior and exterior sealing, and a final inspection to confirm the sashes open and lock correctly. If your trim is damaged or rotted, that can be replaced at the same time. The work does not include painting or staining, but the frames come pre-finished in white or a color you choose before ordering.

Key Benefits of This Service

Homeowners and business owners in Jersey City usually ask about timing, materials, and what they should expect on installation day before they commit to replacing their windows.

How long does it take to replace the windows in a typical home?
Most single-family homes take one to two days depending on the number of windows being replaced. Larger buildings or units with custom sizes may require additional time for fabrication and installation.
What type of glass should I choose for a building near the waterfront?
Double-pane insulated glass with a low-emissivity coating works well in areas with high humidity and temperature swings. The sealed unit prevents condensation from forming between the panes.
Will the new windows reduce noise from traffic or neighbors?
Yes, especially if you upgrade from single-pane to double-pane or triple-pane glass. The additional layer of glass and the air space between panes block more sound from entering your building.
What happens if the window opening is not square or level?
The installer adjusts the frame with shims and sealant to fit the opening correctly. This is common in older buildings in Jersey City where settling has shifted the structure slightly over time.
Can I replace just a few windows or do I need to do the whole building at once?
You can replace windows in stages if budget or timing is a concern. Many clients start with the rooms that have the worst drafts or the most sun exposure.

Replacing your windows reduces the amount of outside air that enters your home, which means your heating and cooling systems do not have to work as hard to maintain a comfortable temperature.
