Serving New Orleans, LA
Windows in New Orleans, LA
Replacement windows for New Orleans homes, from single-pane wood originals to low-E double-pane upgrades that hold up in Gulf Coast heat.
Walk a block in Uptown, Mid-City, or the Marigny and you will pass house after house still carrying its original single-pane wood windows, many of them older than anyone living behind them. They look right on the street, but they leak conditioned air all summer and let humidity creep in behind the trim. On a west-facing wall, the afternoon sun pushes heat straight through that thin glass and into the room. Our office sits on Soraparu St in the Lower Garden District, so these are the houses we study every day.
What modern glass does for an old house
Double-pane low-E glass reflects much of the solar heat that used to pour through single-pane sashes, which takes real strain off your AC across a cooling season that stretches most of the year. Tight new frames matter just as much in this climate. They stop the drafts and the sill condensation that feed mildew around older openings. If your sills stay damp through summer or paint keeps peeling at the bottom rail, the window itself is usually the cause, not the paint. Awning windows, hinged at the top, are a smart pick for rooms you like to air out; they shed rain while open, which suits a city with a daily summer shower.
Historic blocks, handled the right way
Plenty of New Orleans streets fall under historic district review, and some blocks need approvals before you change anything visible from the sidewalk. Approvals sound intimidating, but with the right submittal they rarely slow a project down by much. We help you choose units with the correct profiles and sightlines so the paperwork moves and the finished house still belongs on its block. You can see the neighborhoods we cover on our New Orleans service area page.
Ready for storm season
Storm season runs June through November, and wind-driven rain finds every gap in tired flashing. We flash and seal each opening so sideways rain stays out, and we offer storm-rated glass and hardware for homeowners who want extra protection before the next system spins up in the Gulf. Every unit gets set square and plumb, so sashes glide instead of stick. Many clients pair new windows with siding in New Orleans, since both projects chase the same goal: a tighter, drier envelope.
