Crofton's colonials were built in the 1960s as a planned community, and most of them are now on their second — sometimes still their first — generation of windows. In Crofton Village, Crofton Meadows, and Crofton Woods, the double-hung units that came with these two-story colonials, or the early vinyl replacements installed decades ago, are showing their age: fogging and condensation trapped between the panes, drafts you can feel from the sofa, sashes painted or corroded shut, and heating and cooling bills that keep climbing as the failed insulated glass stops doing its job. On a tall colonial with a dozen or more openings, that adds up fast on the BGE bill.
We replace with ENERGY STAR-rated windows — double-hung, casement, and bay units with Low-E coatings and argon fill — that hold conditioned air in and cut the solar heat gain that bakes the west-facing rooms these colonials are known for. Which install method we use depends on the opening. Where a Crofton colonial's frames and sills are still solid, an insert replacement preserves the original trim and interior casing and installs cleanly. Where water has worked in around a leaking older window and softened the frame — which we see on the shaded elevations under Crofton's tree canopy — we go full-frame, take it back to the rough opening, inspect for hidden damage, and rebuild it properly. Every window is flashed and foam-sealed to stop the drafts that plague these homes.
Because Crofton has an active architectural review through the Crofton Civic Association, exterior appearance matters — grille patterns, colors, and profiles that keep the colonial look consistent. We match the style, prepare any review paperwork needed, and measure every opening to the exact size, since these 1960s colonials rarely have perfectly square, uniform windows. Every job is installed by our own local crew with a written, line-itemed estimate that spells out the exact product, glass package, and install method. A family-owned Anne Arundel contractor since 2016, we know how these Crofton colonials are built and plan the install around their tall gable elevations and the neighborhood's review requirements. We pull Anne Arundel County permits where required and haul off every old sash and frame before we leave. As a licensed window contractor in Crofton, we handle full-frame window installation and replacement.
Most Crofton window projects run about $650–$1,500 per window installed, or roughly $9,000–$34,000 whole-home, depending on window type, glass package, insert vs. full-frame, and any frame rot. The many openings on a two-story colonial can put whole-home jobs at the higher end. You get a written, line-itemed estimate before anything is scheduled. Call 410-508-6141.
