Case Study: replacement windows Transform a 1952 Cape Cod Home in District Heights, MD





When it comes to home improvement, even the most diligent homeowners can face unexpected challenges. In this case study, we explore how Green Energy LLC helped a District Heights resident solve a serious energy efficiency issue without compromising a recent siding warranty upgrade.


The Challenge: Leaky Windows Risk Siding Warranty


In 2024, a proud District Heights homeowner, had just completed a major exterior renovation of her 1952 Cape Cod home, investing in new, high-quality siding. The fresh siding enhanced her home's curb appeal and came with a long-term warranty, providing peace of mind for years to come. However, she soon realized that her beautiful new exterior was at risk. The original 1952 picture windows were not only outdated but had developed leaks that threatened the structural integrity behind her newly installed siding.


Replacing these picture windows was imperative, but it posed a significant risk: improper installation could void the siding warranty, leading to potential damage and costly repairs. This concern made her hesitant to move forward with just any window replacement company.


Choosing Green Energy LLC: A Safe and Trusted Solution


After receiving quotes from various companies, including the company that had installed the siding, the homeowner was discouraged by the high prices. That’s when she found Green Energy LLC. Impressed by our reputation for careful, high-quality work, she reached out for a consultation. Our team of certified energy specialists quickly conducted an assessment, identifying three main issues:


  1. Energy Inefficiency: The old picture windows were a major source of heat loss and drafts.

  2. Moisture Risks: Leaks had already begun to damage the area around the windows, putting her new siding warranty at risk.

  3. Ventilation Issues: The fixed, non-operable windows did not allow for any fresh air circulation, reducing comfort.


The Green Energy LLC Solution

Understanding the homeowner's concerns, we proposed a plan that would not only solve the window issues but also protect her siding warranty. Our approach included:


  • Careful Installation Planning: We coordinated closely with the siding manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure the new window installation would not void the warranty.

  • High-Quality Sliding Windows: We recommended replacing the old picture windows with energy-efficient sliding windows that could enhance ventilation and reduce drafts.

  • Specialized Sealing Techniques: Our team used advanced sealing and insulation methods to ensure there would be no moisture intrusion, safeguarding both the windows and the new siding.


We also assured the homeowner that our installers were experienced in handling delicate projects like hers, where preserving existing home improvements is a top priority.


The Installation Process

Green Energy LLC’s certified installers approached the project with meticulous care. Here’s how we executed the installation:

  1. Pre-Installation Prep: Our team carefully removed the old picture windows, taking extra precautions not to disturb the newly installed siding. We applied protective barriers to ensure no damage occurred during the process.

  2. Weatherproof Sealing: To address the moisture issue, we utilized specialized weatherproofing materials, providing an extra layer of protection between the window frame and the siding.

  3. Energy-Efficient Sliding Windows: The new sliding windows featured double-pane, Low-E glass for maximum energy efficiency, paired with durable vinyl frames that matched the style of the home.

  4. Final Inspection: We performed a thorough inspection, testing for airtight seals and ensuring the siding remained intact without any visible damage.

The results were outstanding and immediate:

  • Preserved Siding Warranty: Our careful installation process ensured the new siding warranty remained fully intact.
