Old windows are the fastest place a Troy home loses heat. Michigan sits in the ENERGY STAR Northern climate zone, where heating season runs October into April. Replacing single-pane windows with ENERGY STAR certified units lowers energy bills by an average of up to 13 percent nationwide. Energy efficiency shows up on the bill.
Troy subdivisions built between 1960 and 1985 often carry original frames, original siding, and second-generation shingles. Frames sweat in January, condensation soaks the trim, and water damage spreads in the wall. Storm damage lifts shingles along the same rooflines every spring. New windows, siding, and roofing stop that cycle and bring in natural light.
We install double-hung, casement, slider, bay, bow, and picture replacement windows, each ordered to your exact opening. Glass packages meet Northern zone U-factor limits. Our window installation services cover full-home and single-opening work, using products from three manufacturers.
Sierra Pacific builds hybrid frames combining a wood interior, extruded aluminum cladding, and 100 percent uPVC vinyl. The wood keeps the inside surface warm. The aluminum exterior takes Michigan weather without repainting.
Window Force builds vinyl systems with insulated air chambers inside the frame. Those chambers slow heat transfer, which matters most in January. It is the practical pick for whole-home replacement windows on a budget.
Home Guard supplies Energy Star approved units with foam-core insulation in the frame. The foam fills space that would otherwise hold cold air. Home Guard also makes insulated door slabs, so window and door finishes match.
Door installation covers entry, French, storm, patio, and sliding patio doors. A new door improves security and adds aesthetic appeal at your entry. We install insulated cores from Home Guard, MaxDor, and Trimlite. Most Troy door installation jobs finish in a day.
Troy deck installation gives you outdoor space that survives Michigan freeze and thaw. We design and build composite and wood decks sized to your yard, and composite boards never need staining. Every deck is framed to the footing depth and load the building code sets.
A new roof installation protects everything under it. Storm damage that lifts shingles or drives water past the underlayment calls for full replacement. Troy roof installation runs spring through late fall. We install two roofing system types.
Asphalt architectural shingles are the common roofing system across Troy subdivisions. They carry high-wind ratings and cost less per square than metal. A full tear-off and new roof installation takes one to two days.
Standing seam metal panels shed snow instead of holding it, which eases ice dam pressure along the eaves. Metal outlasts asphalt by decades and reflects summer heat. It costs more upfront, so we price both options at the consultation.
Troy siding installation covers vinyl siding and steel siding, installed over house wrap with correct flashing at every opening. Siding replacement solves the siding problems homeowners notice first: cracked panels, faded color, and weather damage. We match siding materials to your budget and your curb appeal goals, and new home siding adds insulation behind the panel.

Yes. The City of Troy requires a building permit for window, siding, and roofing replacement. We pull the permit from the Building Department at 500 West Big Beaver Road and schedule the inspection.
Most whole-home window projects finish in one to three days once units arrive. A roof tear-off takes one to two days. Siding runs three to five days. Manufacturing lead time is four to eight weeks, and both dates go in writing.
Replacing single-pane windows with ENERGY STAR certified units lowers household energy bills by an average of up to 13 percent nationwide. Your result depends on window count, home size, and current frames.
Yes. We install windows, doors, and roofing year-round. Crews open and set one opening at a time, so the house is never left open. Below 40 degrees, we use cold-rated sealants.
Yes, and combining usually makes sense. Installing windows and siding together lets us flash and seal the wall as one assembly, which prevents leaks at the window edge. Ask about combined pricing.
