When Cost Makes the Decision For You
For one Pennsylvania homeowner preparing to sell his 12,000 sq. ft. luxury property, presentation mattered. The home’s 73 Caradco double-hung windows—original to the house—were showing their age. Drafts, peeling finishes, and worn balances were affecting both comfort and appearance.
When he started getting quotes for full window replacements, the numbers were staggering: the lowest bid came in at nearly $200,000.
That’s when he discovered Fenster Components.
Smart Homeowners Know: Replace the Sash, Not the Whole Window
Fenster’s approach is simple: rather than replacing the entire window frame, we manufacture custom sashes replacements that fit seamlessly into the existing window frame structure.
This saves homeowners up to 50% (and often much more) while preserving the original beauty and craftsmanship of their home.
In this project, Fenster provided 73 double-hung sash kits. Our universal double-hung kits aren’t direct replicas of legacy Caradco double-hungs but have been engineered to match the look of many legacy wooden double-hung models.
