Full-Frame Window Replacement

Full-Frame Window Replacement in Syracuse

Full-frame replacement removes the entire old window down to the rough opening, including the frame, sill, and interior stops. That matters in older Syracuse homes on streets like Genesee and James, where decades of lake-effect snow and freeze-thaw cycles rot the framing and defeat the original flashing. Petridishnews tears the opening back to sound wood, corrects any damage, and installs a new unit with a proper weather barrier.

Why Choose Full-Frame

• It fixes what an insert hides. Rotted sills and failed flashing are the real reason a window leaks air and water. Full-frame lets us repair them before the new unit goes in.
• It restores the weather barrier. We integrate new flashing tape and expanding foam under IRC R703 so water sheds away from the wall instead of into it.
• It allows size changes. If you want a larger opening or need to meet an egress minimum, full-frame is the method that makes it possible.

Our Process

We remove the old window to the rough opening, inspect and repair the framing, then set a plumb, square, low-E and argon-filled unit with warm-edge spacers. We flash, foam, and seal the opening, then reinstall or replace the trim for a clean finish inside and out.
