Why Salem Homes Need Premium Windows

Salem is the oldest permanent English settlement on the Delaware, laid out by John Fenwick in 1675, and the county seat ever since. Market Street and the streets around it hold a stretch of building history that very few American towns can match: brick houses from the early 1700s, Federal fronts from the young republic, Greek Revival and Italianate work from the nineteenth century when Salem was a working river port and manufacturing town, and Victorian houses from its later prosperity. Behind the historic core sit smaller frame houses and the twentieth-century stock built as the town’s industry grew and then contracted. Almost none of this housing was built to any standard dimension, and a good deal of it is still carrying sash that is a century or more old. Salem’s window problem is fundamentally a problem of age and irregularity.

Common Window Challenges in Salem

Early brick with deep reveals — houses from the 1700s and early 1800s have thick masonry walls, recessed openings and sometimes surviving interior shutter boxes
Nine-over-six and six-over-six sash — the light patterns on these fronts are period-specific, and putting the wrong one back is visible to anyone who knows the street
Party walls in the old core — town houses built shoulder to shoulder can only be worked from the front, the rear and the inside
Lead paint in original woodwork — pre-1978 paint is effectively universal in this housing and has to be contained properly during removal
Deferred maintenance on grand houses — some of Salem’s best buildings have gone long stretches without upkeep, and sash rot here is often structural rather than cosmetic
Security and ground-floor exposure — vacant neighbors and street-level windows make locking hardware a real specification rather than an afterthought

Our Salem Window Services

The first thing we do in an old Salem house is establish what is original.

Sash proportion, muntin width and reveal depth get recorded, and units are built to the openings that exist rather than the nearest catalog size.
Painted pre-1978 woodwork is contained during removal.
Where a front matters to the street, period profiles go in front of modern insulated glass; where a rear wing is later and plainer, we say so and price it accordingly.
