Ridgestone Exteriors

Ridgestone projects

Recent installations.

Windows and doors installed in London homes.

Seven windows replaced

Some of the windows in this house were older vinyl replacements and the rest were the original wood windows, about 50 years old.

Step 1

Before

A mix of original wood windows and older vinyl replacements.

Step 2

Installing the windows

Every opening was flashed properly before the new window went in, then air sealed around the frame.

Step 1

Prepping the opening

New construction, so no before. We flashed the opening to protect the framing in case any water ever gets in, which is something many companies skip.

Step 2

Installing the window

Set the window, then taped the nail fin to the sheathing so the whole opening sheds water.
