What Our Clients Say

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to help you understand our process, services, and commitment before starting your WORKs project.

Do I need a permit to replace windows or doors?

Yes, in Ipswich replacement of exterior fenestration often requires a building permit and sometimes review by historic or conservation bodies depending on location.

Can you retrofit windows yourself or should you replace them?

For minor damage, retrofits (replacing sash, weatherstripping) may work. But older windows with rot or structural issues often need full replacement for longevity.

What types of windows and doors do you install?

We install double-hung, casement, awning, bay, specialty shapes, sliding patio doors, French doors, entry doors, and custom styles.

Will new windows reduce my heating bills?

Yes — modern thermally optimized windows can reduce heat loss and air infiltration, sometimes cutting heating bills by 10–30%.

What is covered under your 7-year warranty?

All workmanship (installation, sealing, trim). Manufacturer warranties cover glass, frames, hardware, and operating mechanisms.
