Stop Losing Heat Through Drafty Openings

Secure Windows & Door Installations in Rochester

Winter winds sweep across the Rochester area every year, and if your windows rattle or your entry door lets in a cold breeze, you're paying for it on every utility bill. Knightcraft Remodeling installs and replaces energy-efficient windows and exterior and interior doors with precise fitment for older Rochester properties. You'll notice the difference the first time you walk past a sealed window and feel no draft, even when the temperature drops below freezing outside.


Our team helps reduce drafts and heating costs, a major concern in the Rochester climate with long winters. We offer multiple styles including sliders, casements, picture windows, and custom entry doors to match historic or modern homes. Professional flashing, insulation, and sealing techniques prevent water intrusion and improve performance. We provide recommendations based on local home architecture commonly found in Irondequoit, Webster, and Fairport, and we ensure clean removal of old units with responsible disposal and minimal disruption to interior finishes.

How Our Process Works

We start by measuring every opening and inspecting the surrounding framing to identify rot, settling, or structural concerns that could affect installation. In Rochester, many homes were built with wood frames that require reinforcement or shimming to achieve a square, weathertight fit. You'll receive style and material options suited to your home's age and design, along with honest feedback on performance expectations.


Once units are ordered, Knightcraft Remodeling schedules installation during a weather window that minimizes exposure. We remove the old window or door carefully to avoid damaging interior trim, then apply new flashing, spray foam insulation, and exterior caulking before setting the replacement. Each unit is leveled, secured, and tested for smooth operation before we finish the interior with trim and paint touch-ups.


Every installation includes a final walkthrough where we demonstrate locking mechanisms, screen operation, and care instructions. You'll also receive warranty documentation and our contact information for any future service needs or questions.

Key Benefits of This Service

Homeowners across Rochester and surrounding areas often ask about energy savings, style compatibility, and how long new units will last in a climate with wide seasonal swings.

How much can new windows reduce my heating bill?
Energy-efficient windows can cut heating costs by fifteen to twenty-five percent depending on the age and condition of your current units. Sealing air leaks makes the biggest impact.
Can you match the style of windows in my older home?
Yes, we offer multiple styles including sliders, casements, and picture windows. Custom grille patterns and trim profiles help maintain historic character.
What's involved in replacing an exterior door?
We remove the old door and frame, inspect and reinforce the rough opening if needed, install new weather stripping and threshold, then hang and adjust the door for a tight seal.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
In most cases, window and door replacement does not require permits unless structural changes are made. We confirm local requirements before starting work.
How long does installation take?
Most single-window replacements take two to three hours. Full-home projects with multiple units typically finish in one to three days depending on count and complexity.
