Lawrence homes in neighborhoods like Old West Lawrence and the Oread district often feature original wood windows that no longer seal properly against our humid continental climate. Cold winter drafts and summer heat gain drive up utility costs, while single-pane glass and deteriorated frames allow moisture intrusion that damages interior trim. We measure each opening on site, account for settling in older brick and frame structures, and select frames with proper expansion joints so new units operate smoothly year-round without binding.
Building practices around Downtown Lawrence and near Haskell Indian Nations University frequently include non-standard rough openings and historic trim profiles that require custom sizing. We remove existing sashes and jambs completely rather than leaving old liners that create air leaks, then install new units with continuous weatherstripping and low-E coatings rated for both heating and cooling seasons. Proper flashing integration at the sill and head prevents water entry during heavy Kansas rains, a step many rushed replacements overlook.
