Specialty & Custom Shape Windows in Charleston

Arches over entry doors, half-rounds in gables, transoms above sash and odd-shaped windows on stair landings. Specialty windows give Charleston homes much of their character, and they need to be templated and built individually.

Shapes we replace

  • Half-round and quarter-round
  • Elliptical and segmented arches
  • Circle and oval windows
  • Transoms above doors and windows
  • Trapezoids and pentagons in gables and vaulted rooms

How we get the fit right

Curved and angled openings are rarely perfect. We template each one on site rather than relying on nominal sizes, then match the frame color, grille pattern and sightlines to the surrounding windows.

Matching historic details

On older homes, fanlights and arched sash often need simulated divided lites with radiused muntins. We coordinate these with historic window replacement so everything reads as one design.

Common questions

Can specialty windows open?

Many shapes are fixed, but arched casements and arched-top double-hungs are available.

How long do custom shapes take to build?

Usually six to ten weeks, a bit longer than standard sizes.

Where we work

We install windows across Charleston and nearby communities, including Downtown Charleston, West Ashley, James Island, Mount Pleasant, North Charleston, Daniel Island and more.
