Replacing most of the house at once? That's the usual job. Tell us what you have and we'll measure all of it in one visit. Most windows go in as insert replacements: the new unit is set inside the existing frame and your interior trim stays where it is. We go full-frame, down to the rough opening, when a frame is rotted or out of square or when an opening is changing size. Replacement windows come in vinyl, fiberglass and wood-clad frames, and the prices page shows how each choice changes the total.
Lenexa Houses, Decade by Decade
The window problems in a house track closely with the year it was built, and Lenexa has three distinct generations.
Old Town and the early ranches
Near Old Town, around Santa Fe Trail Drive and Pflumm Road, you still find wood double-hungs with storm windows hung over them, and aluminum sliders in the ranches that followed. Any house built before 1978 may have lead paint on the old sashes and trim. On those jobs we work under the EPA's lead-safe rules: plastic down, dust contained, and a documented cleanup.
The 1970s through the 1990s
This is the largest share of Lenexa's housing. Many of these homes still have the builder's original wood or aluminum-clad windows, and they show their age the same way: rot at the bottom corners of the sash, fog between the panes, and balances too tired to hold a window open.
Newer homes on the west side
West of I-435 and out past K-7, the houses are younger and the complaint is different: builder-grade vinyl with failed seals, or tall west-facing glass that bakes the great room by late afternoon in July. Most of these neighborhoods have a homes association, and we prepare the paperwork an HOA asks for.
How a Window Replacement Job Runs
- We measure and lookEvery opening gets measured in three places each way, because old frames are rarely square. We probe sills for rot and note where code calls for tempered glass, such as beside doors and over tubs.
- You get the price in writingThe quote lists each window by room with its size, style, frame and glass. Nothing is bundled into one mystery number, and it doesn't expire when we leave the driveway.
- The factory builds themYour order is made to the measurements. If a job changes the size of an opening, that's framing work, and we check permit requirements with Lenexa's Community Development department first.
- Old out in a batch, new in by the roomBlinds come down and floors and furniture near the windows get covered. Then the crew clears out the old units in one push early in the day, which goes quickly. The new windows then go in a room's worth together, each one shimmed level and square, fastened, and sealed around its edges with low-expansion spray foam, which closes the house back up against wind and rain.
- Finish inside and outWith every window in and sealed, the finish work runs on both sides of the wall at once. Inside, it's usually small trim touch-ups. Outside, the exterior trim is covered in formed metal wrap, in your house color or an accent color, so it ties into the siding or brick and never needs paint. The glass gets cleaned, the old windows leave with us, and we open and lock every one with you.
Where We Work
We work all over Lenexa: Old Town, the neighborhoods along 87th Street Parkway and Prairie Star Parkway, and the newer streets west of K-7. We also take jobs just over the line in Shawnee, Overland Park, Olathe and other nearby parts of Johnson County when the schedule allows.
Questions From Lenexa Homeowners
What company has the best window replacements?
There isn't one answer, and Lenexa has more window companies per square mile than almost anywhere in the metro. Compare them on things you can check: who does the install (the company's own crew, or whoever is free that week), whether the quote lists each window with its glass package, what the labor warranty covers and for how long, and whether the price is still good next week. A company that's comfortable with you collecting two more quotes belongs on the short list.
How long does window replacement take?
Most of the wait is factory time. Replacement windows are built to your measurements, and how long that takes changes with the season and the manufacturer, so we pass along the date the factory gives us. The install is the short part: a crew usually finishes a whole house in a day or two.
What time of year is best for replacing windows?
Spring and fall are the comfortable seasons and the busiest ones. Winter installs work in Kansas too. Each new window is sealed with spray foam right after it's fastened, so rooms aren't left open to the cold while the rest of the house is finished. Sealants have temperature limits, so on the coldest days we may come back on a warmer afternoon to finish the exterior caulking.
Do you replace windows damaged by hail or a storm?
Yes, when the fix is a new window. Hail around Kansas City cracks glass, dents aluminum cladding and snaps vinyl glazing beads. We photograph and measure each damaged opening so you have something specific to hand your insurance adjuster. Swapping a pane of glass by itself is glass-shop work that we don't take on.
Should a foggy window be replaced?
Haze or moisture between the panes means the seal has failed and the insulating gas has leaked out. It won't clear. If the frame is sound and fairly new, a glass shop can swap the sealed unit alone. When the same window is also drafty, hard to open or soft at the corners, replacing the whole thing makes more sense than putting new glass in a tired frame.
