How long does custom window fabrication take?
Standard custom windows take 3–4 weeks from approved drawings to delivery. Complex heritage replicas or specialty shapes may require 5–6 weeks. Rush orders are available for urgent projects.

Yes, we specialize in replicating original heritage window profiles. We document the existing design, match the sightlines and moulding details, then fabricate with modern materials that meet current energy codes.
What frame materials are available for custom windows?
We fabricate custom windows in vinyl, aluminum, fiberglass, and wood-clad frames. Material selection depends on performance requirements, aesthetic preferences, and any heritage designation restrictions.
