Our Window Services in Detroit, MI
Full Window Replacement
Doing a whole house at once is not how most Detroit window jobs actually happen. The order gets split, and it gets split by which rooms are in use.
Residential Window Installation
A brick house has no nailing fin to flash. The window sits in a masonry reveal, and every decision about water happens at that reveal rather than on a sheet of housewrap.
Commercial Window Installation
Detroit's commercial fabric is mostly two-story brick blocks along the avenues, built between the wars with a shop below and flats or offices above. Their glazing has one thing in common, and it is the largest opportunity in the building type.
Energy-Efficient Window Installation
More than a third of Detroit's housing was built before 1940, and on a good share of those houses the right energy purchase is not a new window at all. Saying so out loud costs us work in this city, and we go on saying it anyway.
Vinyl Window Replacement
Vinyl is the honest default in a brick house. A welded vinyl insert needs no nailing fin and no wall opened up: it sets inside the wood frame already standing in the opening and seals to it.
Wood Window Replacement
Clad wood is the right answer when the inside of the house is the reason. A brick house of this era has plaster returned into the opening, a wood stool and apron below it, and painted casing matching every other piece of trim in the room.
Aluminum Window Replacement
Aluminum in this city is mostly not on houses. It is on apartment buildings, two-family flats, school and office frontage, and the additions and porch enclosures that went onto brick homes between the sixties and the eighties.
Bay and Bow Windows
Most bay window calls in Detroit are about one the house already has. The front bay on a brick bungalow or colonial is original, framed into the wall when the house was built, and the right work is nearly always repair rather than replacement.
Broken Window Glass Installation
One broken pane in a window that otherwise works belongs to somebody else's trade, and a cheaper one. We will hand you a name instead of a quote.
Casement Window Replacement
In this housing stock a casement is usually not an upgrade. It is the way to avoid cutting brick.
Custom Window Installation
Custom work in this city is a masonry problem first. The brick and the stone fixed the opening, the opening fixed the window in 1925, and nothing built since has been made in that size.
Double-Pane Window Replacement
Most of this city is older than insulated glass. The median Detroit housing unit dates from 1947 and better than a third of the stock went up before 1940, so a double-pane window is frequently the first one a house has ever carried rather than an upgrade.
Egress Windows
Two things drive egress work in Detroit: a basement being finished into living space, and a bedroom whose existing window has never actually met the requirement. The second is far more common than people expect, and it costs nothing at all to check.
Fiberglass Window Replacement
Fiberglass frames are pultrusions: reinforcing strand and thermoset resin cured together into a rigid profile, so most of the frame's substance is glass. A frame made largely of glass and the pane it holds expand at nearly the same rate, and that is the entire argument for the material.
French Doors
French doors are a room-size decision before they are a product decision. A pair of thirty-inch leaves needs five feet of clear floor to swing into, and rooms in a Detroit house from the thirties are not generous with five feet of anything.
Impact Window Installation
You do not need hurricane windows in Detroit, and we would rather say so on this page than let somebody say otherwise in your kitchen. Wayne County is not in a wind-borne debris region, and nothing in the code here calls for impact-rated glazing on a house.
Low-E Glass Window Installation
Wayne County is a heating climate, and the state energy code says so by capping a window's U-factor and asking nothing whatever about solar heat gain. That single omission tells you which coating belongs on a Detroit house.
Multifamily & HOA Window Replacement
Multifamily here is not one kind of building. It is two-family flats with a resident owner, courtyard apartment blocks, and condominium associations inside converted commercial buildings.
Office & Commercial Glazing
Everything above the first floor comes out from the inside. That is the working definition of this service in a city whose office stock is largely older masonry, where a third-floor window often cannot be reached from the street at all.
Retrofit Windows
Detroit is the city where the honest answer is most often the expensive one. The median housing unit here dates from 1947, and roughly 115,000 units were built in 1939 or earlier.
Sliding Window Door Replacement
A horizontal slider in a tall narrow Detroit opening is usually the wrong unit, and the reason is the one dimension the code is fussiest about. Sliding a sash sideways takes its bite out of your clear width rather than your clear height.
Soundproof Window Installation
The good news on a Detroit house is the wall. Brick or block with plaster inside is a heavy, well-damped barrier and nothing sold in a window will match it.
Storefront Window Installation
The brick blocks along the avenues were drawn with a solid panel under the display glass, usually a foot or two of it, sometimes faced in tile or granite. On block after block that panel is gone, replaced during a remodel by glass taken straight down to the walk.
Triple-Pane Window Installation
Detroit sits in Climate Zone 5A, the northern edge of where a third pane begins to earn its money. Whether it earns it on your house depends almost entirely on what the house is.

Full Window Replacement
Doing a whole house at once is not how most Detroit window jobs actually happen. The order gets split, and it gets split by which rooms are in use. That is a perfectly sound way to buy windows, and the sequence inside it is the thing worth getting right.

Residential Window Installation
A brick house has no nailing fin to flash. The window sits in a masonry reveal, and every decision about water happens at that reveal rather than on a sheet of housewrap. Most of what goes wrong on this stock follows from a crew that did not notice the difference.

Commercial Window Installation
Detroit's commercial fabric is mostly two-story brick blocks along the avenues, built between the wars with a shop below and flats or offices above. Their glazing has one thing in common, and it is the largest opportunity in the building type. Every block carries the same unopened asset.

Energy-Efficient Window Installation
More than a third of Detroit's housing was built before 1940, and on a good share of those houses the right energy purchase is not a new window at all. Saying so out loud costs us work in this city, and we go on saying it anyway. Take the number first, because it applies either way.

Vinyl Window Replacement
Vinyl is the honest default in a brick house. A welded vinyl insert needs no nailing fin and no wall opened up: it sets inside the wood frame already standing in the opening and seals to it. The question is which openings can afford one.

Wood Window Replacement
Clad wood is the right answer when the inside of the house is the reason. A brick house of this era has plaster returned into the opening, a wood stool and apron below it, and painted casing matching every other piece of trim in the room. A vinyl insert reads as a white plastic box sitting inside that woodwork, and no amount of caulk disguises the junction.

Aluminum Window Replacement
Aluminum in this city is mostly not on houses. It is on apartment buildings, two-family flats, school and office frontage, and the additions and porch enclosures that went onto brick homes between the sixties and the eighties. That distribution is not an accident.

Bay and Bow Windows
Most bay window calls in Detroit are about one the house already has. The front bay on a brick bungalow or colonial is original, framed into the wall when the house was built, and the right work is nearly always repair rather than replacement. Those bays fail in a predictable order and it helps to know it.

Broken Window Glass Installation

Casement Window Replacement
In this housing stock a casement is usually not an upgrade. It is the way to avoid cutting brick. That sounds like an odd thing for a window company to lead with, so here is the arithmetic sitting underneath it.

Custom Window Installation
Custom work in this city is a masonry problem first. The brick and the stone fixed the opening, the opening fixed the window in 1925, and nothing built since has been made in that size. Start with the arch, because it is the commonest misunderstanding on this housing stock.

Double-Pane Window Replacement
Most of this city is older than insulated glass. The median Detroit housing unit dates from 1947 and better than a third of the stock went up before 1940, so a double-pane window is frequently the first one a house has ever carried rather than an upgrade. Start with what the product is.

Egress Windows
Two things drive egress work in Detroit: a basement being finished into living space, and a bedroom whose existing window has never actually met the requirement. The second is far more common than people expect, and it costs nothing at all to check. The numbers are fixed and worth carrying in your head.

Fiberglass Window Replacement
Fiberglass frames are pultrusions: reinforcing strand and thermoset resin cured together into a rigid profile, so most of the frame's substance is glass. A frame made largely of glass and the pane it holds expand at nearly the same rate, and that is the entire argument for the material. Detroit works a frame hard in both directions.

French Doors
French doors are a room-size decision before they are a product decision. A pair of thirty-inch leaves needs five feet of clear floor to swing into, and rooms in a Detroit house from the thirties are not generous with five feet of anything. Tape answers it in minutes.

Impact Window Installation
You do not need hurricane windows in Detroit, and we would rather say so on this page than let somebody say otherwise in your kitchen. Wayne County is not in a wind-borne debris region, and nothing in the code here calls for impact-rated glazing on a house. That matters because impact packages are expensive.

Low-E Glass Window Installation
Wayne County is a heating climate, and the state energy code says so by capping a window's U-factor and asking nothing whatever about solar heat gain. That single omission tells you which coating belongs on a Detroit house. A Low-E layer is metal, deposited onto glass in a thickness measured in millionths of an inch while the unit is still being built.

Multifamily & HOA Window Replacement
Multifamily here is not one kind of building. It is two-family flats with a resident owner, courtyard apartment blocks, and condominium associations inside converted commercial buildings. Each has a different decision chain, and settling which one you are is the first task.

Office & Commercial Glazing
Everything above the first floor comes out from the inside. That is the working definition of this service in a city whose office stock is largely older masonry, where a third-floor window often cannot be reached from the street at all. Removal runs inward.

Retrofit Windows
Detroit is the city where the honest answer is most often the expensive one. The median housing unit here dates from 1947, and roughly 115,000 units were built in 1939 or earlier. Most of the frames we probe are original wood that has had eighty winters working on it.

Sliding Window Door Replacement
A horizontal slider in a tall narrow Detroit opening is usually the wrong unit, and the reason is the one dimension the code is fussiest about. Sliding a sash sideways takes its bite out of your clear width rather than your clear height. On a thirty-inch opening there is very little left once the frame, the jamb and the interlock stile have all been subtracted, and the minimum clear width an escape opening needs is twenty inches.

Soundproof Window Installation
The good news on a Detroit house is the wall. Brick or block with plaster inside is a heavy, well-damped barrier and nothing sold in a window will match it. So the window is the hole in a good wall, which is a solvable problem.

Storefront Window Installation
The brick blocks along the avenues were drawn with a solid panel under the display glass, usually a foot or two of it, sometimes faced in tile or granite. On block after block that panel is gone, replaced during a remodel by glass taken straight down to the walk. Putting it back is the single cheapest improvement available on these frontages.

What Detroit property owners ask us
Which window services does Detroit Window Pros handle?
Everything listed on this page, residential and commercial, across Detroit and Detroit and the inner-ring suburbs. Work is done by our own crews rather than handed to whoever is cheapest that week, which is the only way the workmanship warranty means anything.
Can I combine more than one service in a single job?
Yes, and it is usually cheaper. Bundling window work into one mobilization saves setup, disposal and travel, and it means one crew, one schedule and one written free estimate instead of three contractors blaming each other.
Do you give free estimates for every service?
Every one. We come out, measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and put an itemized free estimate in writing with materials and scope spelled out. No charge, no deposit, and no obligation to book.
What Detroit Customers Say
They were the only company that told us how much glass we would lose with an insert, and they wrote the numbers on the estimate. We went full-frame on the three front windows and inserts on the other eleven. The living room is noticeably brighter than it was, which is not what I expected from replacement windows.
Two other outfits quoted a whole house. These guys measured every bedroom, told us the back one already met the escape requirement, and swapped four fogged sealed units instead of four windows. Cost about a fifth of what we had budgeted. They also fixed the storm on the stair landing while they were here.
Our front bay had been leaking for years and everyone wanted to replace the whole thing. They pulled the trim, showed us the rotten seat framing, rebuilt it and reroofed the bay before setting the new units. Three seasons on and the plaster inside is still dry. Straight explanation the whole way through.
We wanted a bow window and they talked us out of it, which cost them money. They showed us that one wide picture unit in the same wall would pass more light for less, and they were right. They also templated the arched landing window on site instead of ordering a stock size. It fits perfectly.
