Casement Windows

small casement window freshly installed

Casement windows are crank-operated windows that swing open on a horizontal plane. They utilize either a pivot or egress to "hinge" one side to the frame. The window is sealed with a rubber gasket, and when the lock pulls the window into the frame, it is one of the best-sealed windows on the market.

Benefits of Casement Windows

  • When the window is brand new and for 10 years after, it’s easier to open when compared to a single-hung window. This is very good for those with disabilities or the elderly. But like everything, with time, it wears down and becomes a little more difficult to open.
  • The view is much better with casement windows. Since there is no bar in the middle of the window, it allows for better visibility and more light when compared to a double-hung window.
  • Casement windows are excellent for air flow. The window catches the air as it “runs” around the exterior of the house from outside and channels fresh air inside (like a scoop or blade).
  • These windows are very well sealed, since the lock pulls the window into a rubber gasket.

Awning & Hopper Window Variations

If you tip a casement window on its side, so the window opens out from the bottom to the top, this is considered an awning window. They will use the same cranks, but the direction of the window is better for deflecting rain and mounting in spaces where vertical space is limited. Awnings can also be installed at the top or bottom of picture windows for better airflow and ventilation in a room.

Hoppers are awning windows, but located in a basement. Hoppers usually have clips and just pull open, instead of utilizing cranks.

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.
