Professional window and door replacement services in Charlestown, New Hampshire.
If your windows fog between the panes or your exterior door shows daylight around the frame, you are losing conditioned air year-round in Charlestown. You might notice higher heating bills during New Hampshire winters or feel cold air moving through rooms that should stay comfortable. These are not minor inconveniences, they indicate seal failure, frame deterioration, or improper installation that only gets worse over time.
T2B Carpentry, LLC removes old windows and doors down to the rough opening, inspects framing for rot or water damage, and installs new energy-rated units with proper flashing and insulation. You choose the glass package, frame material, and hardware that match your home and budget. The work includes trimming both interior and exterior sides so the finished opening looks intentional and performs as designed.

What Changes When You Replace Failing Units
The replacement process in Charlestown starts with measuring each opening, ordering units that fit your framing, and coordinating delivery so materials arrive when your home is ready. T2B Carpentry, LLC removes interior and exterior trim, pulls the old unit, checks the rough opening for level and square, then sets the new window or door with shims and fasteners that meet manufacturer specs. Flashing goes on before siding or trim to keep water from reaching the sheathing.
After installation, you will notice rooms stay at a more consistent temperature without the furnace running constantly. Condensation between glass panes disappears because new insulated units have intact seals. Exterior doors close tightly without forcing, and you no longer hear wind noise or see light gaps along the threshold.
The work includes setting the unit, insulating the gap between frame and framing, installing interior and exterior trim, and testing operation before cleanup. It does not include repainting siding or patching drywall beyond the immediate trim area. If your project involves multiple openings or requires structural header work, those details get addressed during the estimate so the schedule reflects the actual scope.
How long does it take to replace one window or door?
Most single window replacements take two to four hours depending on the size and condition of the opening. Exterior doors typically take four to six hours because they require threshold work, weatherstripping, and hardware installation.
What type of windows work best in New Hampshire winters?
Double-pane insulated glass with low-emissivity coatings performs well in Charlestown because it reduces heat loss without blocking natural light. Vinyl or fiberglass frames resist condensation better than aluminum in cold climates.
Will you repair damaged framing found during removal?
Yes, T2B Carpentry, LLC handles rot repair, header reinforcement, and sheathing replacement as part of the project. You receive a cost and timeline update before framing work begins so there are no surprises.
When should I replace windows instead of repairing them?
Replace windows when seals fail and cause fogging, when frames show rot or warping, or when operation becomes difficult despite adjustment. Repair makes sense for broken hardware or cracked glass on otherwise sound units.
What happens to my interior trim and drywall?
Interior trim gets removed and replaced with new material that matches the profile as closely as possible. Drywall stays intact unless the rough opening needs resizing, in which case patching and touch-up paint are included within six inches of the frame.
T2B Carpentry, LLC works on window and door replacement projects throughout Charlestown, and most installations finish within one day unless framing repairs extend the schedule.
