When your windows are installed correctly, you’ll notice the difference immediately. No more drafts sneaking around the edges in winter. No more struggling with sticky, warped frames that barely open. No more outside noise disrupting your peace—especially important here in Larchmont where traffic can be an issue.
Your energy bills drop because properly sealed windows actually keep conditioned air inside where it belongs. Your home feels more comfortable year-round, and you get the quiet you’re paying for when you choose to live in a quality neighborhood.
The installation process matters as much as the window itself. Poor installation turns even premium windows into expensive problems. Professional installation means measuring twice, sealing properly, and testing every window before we consider the job complete.
Certified Contracting Services Inc has been installing windows for Larchmont homeowners who expect quality work done right the first time. We understand the unique challenges of homes in this area—from historic properties that need careful handling to newer construction requiring precise modern installation techniques.
Local knowledge matters when you’re dealing with Westchester County building requirements and the specific weather patterns that affect window performance here. We’ve worked on everything from waterfront properties dealing with humidity concerns to homes near major roads where sound reduction is crucial.
Our team knows which window materials and installation methods work best in this climate, and we stand behind every installation with warranties that actually mean something.
We start with accurate measurements because even the best window becomes a problem if it doesn’t fit properly. Our team visits your home to assess each opening, discuss your preferences for materials and styles, and provide a clear estimate with no surprises.
Once you approve the project, we order your custom windows and schedule installation at your convenience. Most window installations take 30 to 60 minutes per window, depending on the complexity of the opening and any structural considerations.
During installation, we protect your home’s interior, remove old windows carefully, and install new ones with proper sealing and insulation. Every window gets tested for smooth operation and proper sealing before we clean up and consider that window complete.
You’ll receive documentation on your windows’ warranties and care instructions, plus our contact information for any future questions or service needs.

Our window installation service includes everything needed for a complete, professional job. We handle vinyl window installation, wood window installation, aluminum window installation, and fiberglass window installation depending on your home’s needs and your preferences.
Each installation includes proper insulation around the frame, weatherproof sealing, and adjustment of all moving parts for smooth operation. We also handle any necessary trim work and paint touch-ups to leave your windows looking finished and professional.
In Larchmont, many homeowners choose sliding window installation for easy operation and modern appearance, while others prefer traditional double-hung styles that complement historic architecture. We work with all major window styles and can recommend the best options for your specific situation, considering factors like your home’s style, your budget, and local wind and weather patterns.
Most window installations take 30 to 60 minutes per window once we begin work. For a typical Larchmont home replacing 10-12 windows, expect the full project to take 1-2 days depending on window sizes and any structural considerations.
The timeline can vary if we encounter unexpected issues like rotted framing that needs repair, but we always discuss these situations with you before proceeding. We schedule installations to minimize disruption to your daily routine and protect your home’s interior throughout the process.
Weather can affect scheduling since we need dry conditions for proper sealing, but we work year-round and will reschedule if necessary to ensure quality installation.
Vinyl windows perform exceptionally well in our local climate because they don’t expand and contract as much as other materials with temperature changes. They resist moisture, don’t require painting, and provide excellent insulation properties that help with both summer cooling and winter heating costs.
Wood windows offer classic appearance that many Larchmont homeowners prefer, especially in historic homes, but require more maintenance. Quality wood windows with proper installation and finishing can last decades with appropriate care.
Fiberglass windows combine durability with energy efficiency and can be painted to match your home’s style. They’re particularly good for larger window openings where structural strength matters. We help you choose based on your home’s architecture, your maintenance preferences, and your budget.
Most standard window replacements in existing openings don’t require permits in Larchmont, but we always verify local requirements for your specific project. If permits are needed, we handle the application process and ensure all work meets local building codes.
For historic homes or properties in historic districts, there may be additional requirements about window styles or materials. We’re familiar with these regulations and can guide you through the approval process if needed.
We also coordinate any necessary inspections and provide documentation for your records. This attention to regulatory details protects you from potential issues and ensures your installation meets all local standards.
Window installation costs vary based on window size, material choice, and installation complexity, but most homeowners invest between $300-600 per window including materials and professional installation. Larger or specialty windows cost more, while standard-size replacements fall toward the lower end of that range.
The investment typically pays for itself through energy savings within 5-8 years, and quality windows properly installed can last 20+ years. We provide detailed estimates that break down material and labor costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.
Financing options are available for larger projects, and we can often schedule installations in phases if you prefer to spread the investment over time rather than replacing all windows at once.
Our window installations include manufacturer warranties on the windows themselves—typically 10-20 years depending on the brand and materials you choose. We also provide our own installation warranty covering our workmanship for two years after completion.
This means if you experience issues with window operation, sealing, or any aspect of the installation itself, we return to correct the problem at no charge. Manufacturer warranties typically cover defects in materials or manufacturing, while our installation warranty covers the quality of our work.
We maintain detailed records of every installation and stay in business to honor our warranties. Many contractors disappear after a few years, leaving you without recourse if problems develop. We’ve been serving Larchmont homeowners for years and plan to continue.
Yes, noise reduction is a common concern for Larchmont homeowners, especially those near major roads or the train line. Double or triple-pane windows with proper installation significantly reduce outside noise compared to single-pane windows or poorly sealed installations.
The key factors for sound reduction are window quality, proper sealing during installation, and sometimes adding storm windows for extra sound barrier. We can recommend specific window configurations based on your noise concerns and budget.
Laminated glass options provide even better sound reduction for homes with severe noise issues. During our consultation, we assess your specific situation and recommend the most effective approach for your noise reduction goals while staying within your budget.
