About Yonkers Window Replacement: Licensed Window Pros in NY
We replace windows and doors in one city and its immediate ring, which is the only reason we can specify by floor rather than by catalogue. Yonkers runs from riverfront mill housing through hillside three-families to the estate blocks above the parkway, and those are three different buildings wanting three different answers.
The thing that shapes the work is height on a slope. A six-story walk-up on a hill has a taller connected air column than its floor count suggests, and in January that column pushes and pulls hard enough to decide which sash whistles and which one sweats. We measure for it, quote for it, and tell you which floors genuinely need the better unit.
Do not hire us if your windows are sound and only the glass has fogged, or if the sash is original joinery worth keeping and a storm panel would do. Both are cheaper than anything we sell and neither needs us for long. We would rather re-glaze eleven sashes and be called back in ten years than sell a building a full replacement it did not need.
If you have a window project in Yonkers, the fastest way to get a real number is a free on-site estimate.

Credentials
- License: There is no state card for this trade in New York. Albany licenses neither glaziers nor window installers, so a firm calling itself state-licensed here is describing something that does not exist. What actually governs the job is the building permit drawn for it and the federal lead rule: a firm disturbing paint in housing built before 1978 must hold EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting certification. Most of the stock here predates that year by decades, so we work to that certification on every pre-war opening.
- Insurance: General liability and New York workers' compensation, carried with the elevated-work rider that upper-floor sash removal actually requires. Section 240 of the New York Labor Law puts the whole of that risk on the owner and the contractor rather than the worker, which is precisely why a certificate that stops at ground-floor work is worth nothing to you on a sixth-story opening.
- Association: No trade-association badge to show you. What we do instead is peel no NFRC label off anything before you have seen it, so the thermal numbers you were quoted are the ones printed on the glass itself, and the area-weighted average the energy code permits is arithmetic you can check line by line.
- Warranty: a written workmanship warranty naming the perimeter air seal and the sill pan as items we own for as long as you hold the building, with the sealed glass unit carried separately on the manufacturer's own term
How Yonkers Window Replacement works
How a job with Yonkers Window Replacement runs, start to finish
Site visit first, always. We measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and ask what you are actually trying to solve — then you get an itemized free estimate in writing with materials, scope and a realistic date on it.
Once the work starts, the same crew stays on the job until it is done. We protect the surrounding area, clean up daily, and tell you the moment something under the surface changes the plan, because the alternative is a surprise invoice and nobody wants that conversation. a written workmanship warranty naming the perimeter air seal and the sill pan as items we own for as long as you hold the building, with the sealed glass unit carried separately on the manufacturer's own term backs the finished work.
What we will not do
We do not quote a window job over the phone, take deposits before a written scope exists, or bid work we are not set up to do properly. If your project needs a different trade, we say so and point you at someone who does it well. Losing a job is cheaper than doing one badly in Yonkers.
Where Yonkers Window Replacement works and who we work with
Yonkers, NY first, then the surrounding communities of the lower Hudson Valley: Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, White Plains, Scarsdale, Bronxville, Hastings-on-Hudson, Dobbs Ferry, Irvington and more. Each of those has its own page with local detail rather than a copy of this one.
Work splits roughly between homeowners and commercial property — offices, retail, restaurants, apartment complexes and HOA boards across the lower Hudson Valley. Start with the Yonkers services, the Yonkers Window Replacement homepage, or just call (844) 511-2320.
Why Yonkers Chooses Yonkers Window Replacement
- ✓We price a tall building by elevation and floor, not by a unit count. The sixth floor and the first floor of the same walk-up get different air-leakage ratings because they fail in opposite directions.
- ✓We read the sash before we quote a replacement. Where the frame and jamb are sound, re-glazing an existing sash is exempt from the energy code's replacement rules and costs a fraction of a new unit.
- ✓Nobody here needs impact-rated glazing. Yonkers sits outside any wind-borne debris region. Saying that out loud costs us work every year, and we say it anyway.
- ✓Hillside lots get surveyed for grade before we talk about basement openings. Which wall a cellar window goes in matters far more here than the numbers that go on the order form.
- ✓We hand over the NFRC label off each unit and the area-weighted average behind the permit, so the performance you paid for is checkable rather than asserted.
- ✓Spanish is a working language on our crews, which matters in a city where roughly a third of households speak it at home and the person letting us into the apartment is often not the person who signed.
What Yonkers Customers Say
They quoted our six-family by floor and told us the second and third floors could wait a year. Every other outfit wanted to do all twenty-four at once. The top floor stopped sweating the first winter after, which is the thing we actually called about.
We had four fogged units and expected to be sold a whole house. Instead they measured the sashes, found three were square, and re-glazed those and replaced only the one with the rotted sill. The bill was under a quarter of what we had budgeted for.
Our rear elevation sits over a drop and the old slider had leaked for years. They pitched a proper sill pan with an end dam and explained why the door on that wall was always going to be the hardest one. Two winters on and the sill is dry.
Straightforward about the cellar egress. They walked the grade first, put the opening in the downhill wall, and we avoided a window well and the drainage that would have come with it. The inspector signed it off without a second visit.
