Windows & Doors

Drafty, foggy or hard-to-open windows make a house less comfortable and more expensive to heat and cool. A sticking entry door or a leaking patio slider is a daily annoyance and an open invitation to water damage. RossBuilt replaces windows and doors throughout the St. Louis metro, with careful installation that keeps out air and water for the long haul.

Insert or full-frame replacement

When the existing frame is square and solid, an insert window fits inside it with less disruption to interior and exterior trim. When the frame is rotted, out of square or you want to change the window size, a full-frame replacement removes everything down to the rough opening so we can inspect, repair and properly flash it. We will tell you which approach your house needs after seeing it.

Installation is where performance comes from

Even the best window performs poorly if it is installed badly. We set every unit level, plumb and square, flash the opening so water drains out instead of in, fill gaps with low-expansion foam rather than stuffing fiberglass, and seal and trim the exterior so it looks finished. For energy savings, look for ENERGY STAR certified units suited to our climate; we can help you compare options.

Signs it is time to replace

• Drafts you can feel on a windy day
• Fog or condensation between the panes
• Windows that stick, will not stay open or will not lock
• Soft or rotted sills and frames
• Doors that drag, leak air or let water in at the threshold
• Noticeably high heating and cooling bills
