Energy-Efficient Window Replacement Transforms 1970s Potomac Home
Location: Potomac, MD
Services: Window Replacement
When a homeowner in Potomac, Maryland, approached us with a unique challenge—replacing 85 original wood windows in their 1970s custom-built home—they weren’t just looking for new glass. They wanted a solution that would modernize their home’s appearance, improve energy efficiency, and preserve the elegance of its original design. The professional window contractors at Presidential Exteriors were the best option to tackle their large scale project!
Aging Windows Caused Drafts, Fogging, and Frustration
After decades of use, the home’s original windows were showing their age. Drafts created year-round discomfort, and fogged-up panes made it hard to enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
Some windows were nearly impossible to open, creating ventilation and safety issues. The homeowner knew it was time for a serious update.
Customized Window Solutions with a Focus on Design and Efficiency
Our consultation process started with a deep dive into the home’s existing windows and siding. We recommended 107 new Presidential 7.0 windows, including a mix of casements, picture windows, and architectural shapes—each one carefully selected to fit both the function and design of the home.
To preserve symmetry and design continuity, we kept two single casement windows in the master bedroom and installed specialty-shaped windows within existing frames.
Tackling a Large-Scale Window Installation Project with Precision and Care
This wasn’t your typical window replacement. With 77 casements, 18 picture windows, and 9 architectural windows, plus field mulling for triple casements and detailed capping work, the job required intense coordination and craftsmanship.
Our team stayed in close communication with the homeowner throughout the process. Even with the project’s large scale, we ensured minimal disruption to their daily life and kept everything on schedule and on budget.
Modern, Grid-Free Windows That Honor the Home’s Classic Design
In the end, the result was a refined, modernized home that retained its original charm. The sleek, grid-free design of the new windows enhanced the natural light and provided a cleaner, more elegant aesthetic. The quad capping gave the exterior a polished finish that tied the entire transformation together.
A Smooth Process and a High-Value Transformation
The homeowner was extremely pleased with the outcome—especially the smooth process, the professionalism of our team, and how little it disrupted their daily routine. They loved the clean, modern look of the windows and felt the project delivered excellent value for the investment.
