Professional Window Installation and Replacement in Western NY and surrounding areas
Windows play a critical role in every building, influencing everything from energy efficiency and natural light to curb appeal and structural integrity. Whether you manage a portfolio of rental properties, own a commercial space, or are upgrading a single residential unit, worn-out or damaged windows can drive up utility costs and diminish the overall comfort of a space. At 90 West Group, we provide high quality window installation and replacement as part of our comprehensive general contracting capabilities. Founded in 2022 in Buffalo, New York by Sam DeFranks, we bring a hands-on approach to every project, ensuring that every window we install is fitted correctly, sealed properly, and built to last through the demanding weather conditions that Western New York is known for.
The window replacement market has seen significant growth in recent years, driven largely by rising energy costs and a growing emphasis on sustainability. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, heat gain and loss through windows account for roughly 25 to 30 percent of residential heating and cooling energy use. For landlords and property managers in Buffalo, NY, that translates directly into higher operating costs when windows are outdated, single-pane, or poorly sealed. Replacing aging windows with modern, energy-efficient models is one of the most impactful improvements you can make to a property.
Our Window Installation Process
We approach window installation and replacement with the same meticulous attention to detail that defines all of our work. The process begins with a thorough assessment of your existing windows. We evaluate the condition of frames, sashes, weatherstripping, and glass panes, identifying issues like air infiltration, moisture damage, condensation between panes, and visible deterioration. This assessment allows us to recommend the best course of action, whether that means a full-frame replacement or a retrofit insert installation that preserves the existing frame when it remains structurally sound.
Once we establish a plan, we work with you to select the right window type and materials for your specific needs. Options range from double-hung and casement windows to sliding, awning, and fixed-pane styles. Material choices include vinyl, wood, fiberglass, and aluminum, each offering distinct advantages in terms of durability, insulation value, and aesthetic appeal. We walk you through these options with transparent guidance so that you understand the benefits and tradeoffs of each selection before any work begins. Proper measurement is essential, and our team takes precise dimensions to ensure each window fits perfectly within the opening, eliminating gaps that could lead to air leaks or water intrusion.
During installation, we carefully remove old windows, inspect and repair the surrounding framing as needed, and install new units with proper flashing, insulation, and sealant. Attention to these details prevents future problems like mold growth, wood rot, and drafty interiors. We finish every installation with clean interior and exterior trim work, drawing on our carpentry expertise to ensure a polished, seamless appearance.
Applications for Residential and Commercial Properties
Window replacement serves different purposes depending on the type of property. For landlords and property managers handling apartment turnovers, upgrading windows between tenants is an excellent opportunity to improve a unit’s appeal and energy performance without the disruption of working around occupants. Updated windows make units more attractive to prospective tenants and can contribute to higher rental values. We regularly coordinate window work alongside our painting, plumbing and electrical repairs, and other turnover services to streamline the renovation timeline.
Commercial properties benefit from window upgrades as well. Storefronts, office buildings, and mixed-use spaces all rely on windows for visibility, branding, and climate control. Replacing dated commercial windows can modernize a building’s facade, improve insulation, and reduce long-term maintenance demands. We handle commercial build-outs and renovations that frequently include window work as part of larger improvement projects.
