Vinyl Windows

Hillsboro Airport Control Tower.

One of the windows is leaking water into the building and doesn’t operate worth beans.

Time for an upgrade and a properly flashed installation, so the FAA contacts the local window installation experts.

Russell & Jared go about prepping the opening after having removed the original window assembly.

We’d like to be able to tell you that once you know the 4 or 5 rules of window installation, every job is a slam dunk, but it simply isn’t so.

There are numerous construction techniques that have been employed over the years…some of them extremely unconventional. So installing door or windows in older buildings is frequently anything other than a foregone conclusion in terms of what you can expect.

Short of rebuilding or residing the entire building, we are often called upon to problem-solve and improvise when dealing with the limitations of what has been done previously by others. Fortunately, problem solving is one of our strong-suits.

The new vinyl window is installed. The photo above shows FAA contact person Leland Harris giving the new window a test flight.
