Why Cape May Homes Need Premium Windows

Cape May is one of a very small number of American cities designated a National Historic Landmark in its entirety, and the reason is its windows as much as anything else. A fire destroyed a large part of the resort in 1878, and the city was rebuilt over the following two decades in a single sustained burst of late-Victorian construction — Italianate, Second Empire, Queen Anne and Stick-style frame houses, hundreds of them, with bracketed cornices, deep porches and tall, narrow, vertically proportioned sashes. That concentrated building date is what makes the streetscape so consistent, and it is also what makes replacement here a preservation question rather than a shopping one. Exterior changes are reviewed. A window that is an inch too short or a muntin that is a quarter-inch too wide is visible from the sidewalk.

Common Window Challenges in Cape May

Review of exterior change — replacements in the historic city are assessed on proportion, material, sash division and profile, which means the specification is decided before performance is even discussed
Vertical Victorian proportions — the two-over-two and one-over-one sashes of the post-fire rebuild are far taller relative to their width than any stock unit, and a short replacement is immediately obvious
Arched and bracketed heads — Italianate and Second Empire houses carry curved and hooded window heads that have to be reproduced, not approximated
Deep porch shade against bare upper stories — the ground floor sits under a porch roof in permanent shade while the upper floors take full sun and salt, so the two levels weather at completely different rates
Guest-house and inn conversions — houses running as inns have far heavier occupancy than they were built for and need hardware and ventilation to match
Salt on painted wood — original wood sashes on an ocean-facing block need repainting and reglazing on a cycle most owners underestimate

Our Cape May Window Services

Every Cape May job begins with the existing opening and the existing sash pattern.

We build to size, reproduce muntin widths and profiles rather than substituting a flat grille, and we can specify wood or clad depending on what the house and the review will accept.
Modern insulated, low-E glazing goes behind an accurate exterior appearance, so the house performs like a new one and still looks like 1885.
