Replace Drafty Windows With Better Insulation

Window replacement services in Mount Pleasant that reduce drafts, improve comfort, and lower energy waste in homes with older or failing units

When windows no longer seal properly, you will feel cold air near the frames in winter, notice condensation between panes, or see higher heating bills without any change in thermostat settings. In Mount Pleasant, older homes often have original windows that were not built for energy efficiency, and TruHome LLC replaces them with units designed for Pennsylvania climate conditions.

Window replacement includes removing old units, checking the rough opening for rot or gaps, installing new windows with proper flashing and insulation, and sealing the perimeter to prevent air infiltration. You will notice a measurable drop in drafts, quieter indoor spaces, and glass that does not fog or frost over during temperature swings.

If your windows are letting in cold air or no longer open and close smoothly, get in touch to schedule an estimate.

What's Included in This Service

The service begins with measuring each window opening in your Mount Pleasant home to confirm the correct size and style for replacement. Measurements account for frame thickness, sill angles, and trim detail so that new units fit without gaps or forced adjustments that could compromise the seal.

After installation, you will see windows that open and lock without sticking, glass that stays clear without interior condensation, and trim that sits flush against the wall without caulk lines that crack or separate. TruHome LLC removes old units carefully to avoid damaging surrounding siding or interior drywall, and installs new windows with low-expansion foam and weatherproof flashing. This method is especially effective for homes with drafts common in older construction.

The work also includes inspecting the rough opening for water damage, replacing rotted wood if necessary, and applying exterior caulk rated for temperature fluctuations. If your home has vinyl siding, the J-channel around each window is refitted to prevent water from entering behind the frame.

Why Locals Choose This Option

Before replacing windows, homeowners in Mount Pleasant often want to know what type of glass works best, how long installation takes, and whether the work will disrupt daily routines or damage interior finishes.

What type of glass should I choose for energy efficiency?
Double-pane glass with low-emissivity coatings reduces heat transfer and blocks ultraviolet light that fades furniture. Triple-pane units offer more insulation but add weight and cost, which may not be necessary for all homes.
How long does window replacement take per unit?
Most windows are removed and replaced within one to two hours each. Full-house installations typically take one to three days depending on the number of openings and any repairs needed.
What happens if the rough opening is damaged or undersized?
The opening is rebuilt with new framing and sheathing before the window is installed. This ensures a square fit and prevents future air leaks or structural issues.
Why do older windows in Mount Pleasant often fail prematurely?
Temperature swings, moisture infiltration, and poor initial installation cause seals to break down and frames to warp. Replacing them with properly fitted units prevents ongoing heat loss and moisture problems.
What is not covered in a standard window replacement?
Interior painting, wallpaper repair, and changes to trim style are handled separately unless specified. Window replacement focuses on the unit, flashing, insulation, and exterior sealing.

Replacing drafty or foggy windows in Mount Pleasant restores comfort, lowers heating costs, and prevents moisture damage that can spread to surrounding walls. If your windows no longer function the way they should, contact TruHome LLC to discuss replacement options suited to your home and budget.
