Single & Double Hung Windows

single hung window

Single and double-hung windows are the kind that "slide" up and/or down. Single hung means one frame can move, double hung means both frames move. We install many brands that make these, but our go-tos are Marvin Windows, Provia, and Target Windows. We have a straightforward installation process that we follow at each home.

Advantages of Single and Double-Hung Windows

Single-Hung

  • Cost - You get at least a 10% savings compared to double-hung windows.
  • Security - Single-hung windows are harder to break into. You can also get these installed with stoppers.
  • Custom sash heights - If you want the bottom sash to be smaller than half the window, single-hung windows are great. Bottom sashes can be a third or a quarter of the full window.

Double-Hung

  • Easier cleaning - Most window manufacturers have a tilt-in option (tabs) for cleaning the outside. This makes for easier cleaning (as you can clean the whole window from inside the house without having to get on a ladder).
  • Ventilation - Since the top sash moves, you can pull this down for better air flow.

Features

There are a couple of features that matter on hung windows. This affects both quality and price. Marvin Windows has the greatest variety of ways to customize windows, but this comes with a cost.

Glass

This is the most important factor in a window. Glass type and quality are broken down by brand.

Marvin Windows

Marvin has three lines of single and double-hung windows: Essentials, Elevate, and Ultimate. All three lines are of the same quality, but you get more features in the window as you upgrade.

  • Essentials - This is a double-pane, low-E 272 glass
  • Elevate - Double pane, low-E 272 glass with some triple pane options depending on style
  • Ultimate - Double pane or triple pane in ANY window

Provia

Our go-to line is Endure, which comes in double-pane and triple-pane. A good option!

Target Windows

Target Windows makes its own glass in-house. They have double-pane and triple-pane options. They manufacture their windows with Low-E 366 glass.

Foam-filled frame

Foam-filled frames are better insulated, so they keep out cold/hot air and sound much better. When we install Target and Provia windows, a foam-filled frame is standard. Marvin Windows does NOT offer foam-filled frames.

Tilt latches

Tilt latches allow you to tilt the sash inward, primarily for cleaning purposes. On double hung windows, tilt latches are standard.

Limit locks

Limit locks allow you to restrict how far a window opens. This is a low-cost option, but they are not standard on our installs.

I am extremely happy with the roof repair job completed for me by The Kingdom Builders. My chimney had collapsed in the attic. I needed to get the remainder of the chimney on the roof removed since there was nothing supporting it; it was also like an open window for snow and rain.I spoke with Tim, who is a real straight shooter and pleasant to talk to; I sent a couple of photos; he quoted me a price I could live with and we came to an agreement.I was a little afraid that my small repair job might get lost in the schedule, but Tim called the next day and said a crew could be there shortly. Isaac and Ryan showed up; I explained the job, and they went to work. A couple of hours later, the chimney on the roof was gone, the hole had been framed, covered in plywood and a waterproof membrane to keep out moisture. Yee ha!The next day, Tim called and said that Isaac and Ryan would be there shortly to complete the work. I was fortunate, in that, the color and style of shingles needed were in-house, left over from a prior job. Isaac and Ryan fit and shingled the roof in such a way that the new shingles blended completely in with the old. The roof looks like it never had a chimney. Marvelous!All the debris and chimney bricks were hauled away. The craftsmanship of Isaac and Ryan really showed. Both are outgoing and friendly, in addition to being highly skilled and competent. In the end, the final bill came in slightly less than the estimate; so I saved some money!My experience with The Kingdom Builders was great. Tim, Isaac and Ryan are all pleasant people to work with - and they obviously know what they're doing. I am happy to endorse them and will not hesitate to use them in the future. As I write this, precipitation is expected within the next 24 hours. It is comforting for me to know that my attic will now remain nice and dry. Thank you, Kingdom Builders!

The Kingdom Builders came highly recommended by two neighbors who had already worked with them. We had a dire stucco situation (it had collapsed and had to be removed and replaced with siding ASAP) so we added them to our "Estimates" file. The salesman was highly professional and thorough, and helped with everything incl. insurance guidance, etc. Since the issue was not an 'Act of God' according to insurance standards, our policy would not cover repairs. To say TKB went above and beyond to orchestrate repairs is a gross understatement. Their professionalism (all of them), support, timeline, immaculate job site, care for grandma's peonies :0) everything was far above expectations. I cannot stop bragging about them! For such a catastrophic situation with our home, we can now rejoice in rain and snow, in a home that looks brand new. Read their background and mission statement. We can attest - they mean what they say. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Another great project completed by The Kingdom Builders! This time installing Marvin Double Hung windows in our one of a kind 1903 triple layer brick home. They did two site visits and measuring sessions with me until I felt we had a great plan to upgrade our windows but maintain the architecture and appearance of our historic home. Scott and Cole have great product knowledge. They communicate and plan well together. They provided me with several options to fit our requirements of quality and price. Luke and his install team were hardworking, clean and efficient. They were careful in our home and covered our belongings, took off their shoes etc. Next year I will have them back to finish more window replacements.

The Kingdom Builders installed new gutters on my old home as the previous gutters were deteriorating. Lee came up with some creative solutions for the water flows to reduce downspouts and direct the water away from some lowers spots on my property. The crew was timely and friendly. The new gutters look and work great!! Thanks The Kingdom Builders!

The Kingdom Builders worked with us on reroofing project on our home. The price was fair based on other estimates. What set them apart was their customer service from planning to site cleanup. Matthew guided us through the project and Isaac led the crew. We had a few surprises with our old roof, but the additional repair was done at minimal cost. I would recommend The Kingdom Builders to anyone desiring an honest and trustworthy company.

We had a full roof replacement on the house and separated garage. Tim and team from Kingdom Builders were great to work with from beginning to end. They were responsive, took care on site and left area clean, and the roof looks great at a competitive price. Highly recommend!
