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, so any rotted framing or failed flashing gets fixed before the new unit goes in. It is the right method when the existing frame is damaged, when you want to change the window size, or when an older Grand Rapids home has openings that have shifted over the years. Massintransit rebuilds the opening and sets a new window that fits tight.

Why Choose Full-Frame

Older houses off Wealthy Street were not built to today’s flashing standards, and hidden water damage is common once the trim comes off. Going down to the studs lets us see the real condition of the opening, replace anything that has rotted, and install a proper drainage plane. You end up with a window that seals correctly rather than one hiding a problem behind fresh caulk.

Our Process

We measure the rough opening, remove the old unit and any damaged framing, and add new flashing tape and a sill pan per IRC R703. Then we set the vinyl, fiberglass, or wood unit level and square, insulate the gap with low-expansion foam, and finish the interior and exterior trim. Most single openings are done the same day, and we haul the old sash away.
