Window Replacement
Residential window replacement for Bergen County homes. Full-frame and insert install, vinyl through fiberglass products, factory finishes, and proper flashing — managed by a registered NJ contractor.
Window Replacement & Install
Window replacement falls into two categories with different cost and scope: full-frame replacement (tear-out down to the rough opening, replace flashing, repair sheathing if needed) and insert replacement (existing window frame stays, new sash and frame slide into the pocket). Full-frame is more durable and addresses any hidden water damage; inserts are faster and lower cost when existing frames are sound. Product choice (vinyl through fiberglass) determines long-term performance.
- On-site measurement and product specification per opening
- Full-frame replacement — tear-out, flashing, sheathing repair, new install
- Insert/pocket replacement when existing frames are structurally sound
- Vinyl, wood-clad, composite, and fiberglass product options
- Energy Star rated U-factor and SHGC ratings per opening orientation
- Manufacturer-approved flashing tape and integration with weather barrier
- Interior trim — casing, sills, and apron — preserved or replaced per scope
- Exterior trim wrap with aluminum coil-stock or PVC
- Old window removal and disposal
Bergen Restoration installs residential replacement windows from major manufacturers. Historic, custom-shape, and high-performance commercial windows may require specialty manufacturer relationships and longer lead times.

Crack Evaluation & Diagnosis
Hairline cosmetic, active leak, structural movement, or settlement — each gets a different repair. Width, pattern, and moisture all read together.
- Bergen County residential renovation experience across kitchens, bathrooms, basements, additions, and water-damage rebuilds.
- Written scope, sequenced milestones, and documented material selections before any demolition begins.

Epoxy Injection (Stable Cracks)
Two-part structural epoxy injected via surface ports bonds the concrete back together. Best for non-active hairline cracks.

- Written scope, sequenced milestones, and documented material selections before any demolition begins.

Polyurethane Injection (Active Leaks)
Hydrophilic polyurethane expands when it contacts water, sealing active leaks. Different chemistry, different application than epoxy.

- Written scope, sequenced milestones, and documented material selections before any demolition begins.

Carbon Fiber Reinforcement
Carbon-fiber strips bonded across the crack resist further movement. Used where structural assessment shows lateral pressure or settlement risk.

Drainage Root-Cause Resolution
Most foundation cracks are water-pressure related. Crack repair without drainage upgrade is a short-term fix. We coordinate both.
- 24/7 emergency intake; same-day or next-day response typical when crews and site conditions allow. Exact timing depends on weather, call volume, location, access, and crew availability.
- Industrial dehumidifiers and air movers sized to room volume and material type. Daily moisture readings until dry standard hit.
- Coordination with licensed plumbers, electricians, and adjusters on scope and documentation throughout.

Cost & Timeline Guide
Single epoxy injection $400–$900 in 2026. Polyurethane on active leak $700–$1,500 per crack. Carbon fiber strap $400–$800 each. Full drainage tie-in $4,000–$12,000+.
- Scope tiers, material grade, and labor splits drive total. Mid-range projects typically run 60–70% of high-end equivalents on the same footprint.
- Hidden costs to plan for: permit fees, dumpster, dust protection, and any required structural or trade work uncovered during demo.
- Bergen County projects budget 1–3% for permits and 5–10% contingency on most renovation scopes.

Your Project Process
Inspect & diagnose
Evaluate crack width, pattern, location, and whether water is present or seeping. Determine whether the crack is structural, cosmetic, or moisture-driven.
Select repair method
Recommend epoxy, polyurethane, carbon fiber reinforcement, or engineering coordination based on findings. We explain the options before anything is scheduled.
Prep & seal
Clean the crack, install injection ports where applicable, inject sealant, and apply surface seal. Carbon fiber straps installed where lateral pressure is a concern.
Waterproof & coordinate drainage
Apply waterproofing membrane over repaired sections. If water pressure from drainage is the root cause, coordinate French drain, sump pump, or yard drainage work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Standard insert replacement runs 1–2 hours per opening for an experienced crew. Full-frame replacement runs 3–5 hours per opening including flashing, trim, and cleanup. Most full-house projects (8–15 windows) complete in 2–5 working days.
Most Bergen County municipalities do not require a permit for like-for-like residential window replacement. Permits may be required if window sizes change, if the opening is structurally modified, or if egress code applies (bedroom or basement windows). We confirm with your town before scheduling.
Vinyl insert replacement runs $700–$1,400 per window in 2026 ranges. Full-frame vinyl $1,000–$2,000. Wood-clad full-frame $1,800–$3,000+. Fiberglass full-frame $2,500–$3,500+. Large picture windows, custom shapes, and premium trim wrap add to those ranges.
We install from major manufacturers including Andersen, Marvin, Pella, Harvey, and equivalents. Specific product line within each (e.g., Andersen 200/400/Renewal) is selected per project based on budget, performance needs, and exterior style.
