Window & Door Replacement in Downtown Charleston, SC

Replacement windows and doors for Downtown Charleston homes

On the peninsula, a window is rarely just a window. Single houses, Charleston doubles and Victorian infill sit shoulder to shoulder from Harleston Village to Ansonborough, and most of them still carry tall wood sash, wavy glass and paneled entry doors that define the street.

We replace windows and doors throughout Downtown Charleston (29401, 29403), from single problem openings to whole-house projects, with free in-home estimates and installation by our own crews.

What we see in Downtown Charleston

Most peninsula homes were built before 1940, many before 1900. Typical openings are tall six-over-six or two-over-two double-hung sash, often with interior shutters or exterior louvered shutters, and entry doors with transoms and sidelights. Lower-peninsula streets also deal with tidal flooding, so thresholds and door sills see more water than anywhere else in the county.

How we approach projects in Downtown Charleston

• Window and door changes visible from the street inside the city's historic districts generally go through the Board of Architectural Review (BAR). We prepare product specs, profiles and photos for the application and plan the schedule around review.
• Homes built before 1978 are handled with EPA lead-safe work practices, which is nearly every house on the peninsula.
• Where wood is required or preferred, we quote true or simulated divided lite wood and wood-clad sash that match the original muntin pattern.
