Replacement Windows Made for Hawaii Homes
Every window we install is chosen for island conditions: strong sun, salt air, humidity and wind-driven rain. Most Oahu homeowners we work with choose vinyl windows because they won’t rust, pit or need paint, and they keep heat out much better than old aluminum frames. Not sure? Our vinyl vs. aluminum guide lays out the differences.
Window Styles We Install
| Style | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Sliding | Sashes glide side to side | Wide openings, lanais, budget-friendly projects |
| Single hung | Bottom sash slides up | Standard bedroom and living room windows |
| Double hung | Both sashes move and tilt in | Easy cleaning on upper floors |
| Casement | Cranks open like a door | Catching the trade winds, replacing jalousies |
| Picture | Fixed glass that doesn’t open | Views and extra light |
| Bay | Three windows that project out from the wall, usually a picture window with opening side windows | Window seats, more light, cross breezes |
| Garden | A small glass box that projects out with a shelf inside | Kitchen sinks, herbs and plants |
Compare the two most popular choices in our casement vs. sliding windows guide.
Glass Options
- Low-E glass reflects solar heat and blocks UV that fades floors and furniture.
- Impact glass for homes that face strong winds. See our hurricane impact windows.
- Obscure and decorative glass for bathrooms and entries.
- Laminated security glass that resists forced entry.

Replacing Jalousie and Aluminum Windows
A big share of our work is replacing old jalousie louvers and single-pane aluminum sliders. New windows seal out rain, noise and dust, lock securely and keep rooms cooler, while still opening wide for the breeze. Read our jalousie windows guide to see your options.
