A fast fit inside your existing frame.
Insert (pocket) replacement slides a new window into the existing frame, saving trim and siding and finishing in less time, when the frame is in good shape.
- Scope: New unit in the old frame
- Disruption: Low
What it is, and why it matters.
An insert replacement keeps the existing frame and trim and fits a new, smaller window unit inside. It is faster and less messy, keeps your trim intact and works well when the frame is straight and dry.
We inspect the frame first, because an insert only works on a sound opening. Then we measure carefully, install with insulation and sealant and finish the interior stops. If the frame is not sound, we tell you plainly and recommend full-frame.
Four things done right.
Fast and clean
Often finished in a day for many windows.
Keeps your trim
Siding and interior trim stay.
Budget-friendly
Usually costs less than full-frame.
Honest limits
We check the frame before we promise it.

Insert Window Replacement: common questions
Do inserts reduce my glass area?
A little, since the new frame sits inside the old one. Slim frames minimize the loss.
Can inserts fix a leaky frame?
Not if the frame is damaged. That needs full-frame replacement.
