Custom Windows
Arched, geometric, historic — built to your spec
When your home has architectural windows that don’t fit a standard rectangle — arches, half-rounds, trapezoids, octagons, or one-of-a-kind historic profiles — we build the replacement to your exact specifications. No compromises, no “we can’t do that.”
Understanding Custom Windows
Built to Match Anything, Replicate Everything
Custom windows are our specialty for older Charlotte homes, historic-district renovations, and architecturally distinctive new builds. We measure every angle of your existing opening, document the original profile (including grids, glass divisions, and trim details), and have the replacement built to match exactly.
Common custom shapes include arch tops (full or eyebrow), half-rounds, quarter-rounds, octagons, trapezoids for gable ends, and triangular windows for vaulted spaces. We also fabricate replicas of historic profiles for homes in Charlotte’s registered historic districts.

Frequently Asked
FAQs About Custom Windows
How long does a custom window take to manufacture?
Standard windows ship in 3–4 weeks. Custom shapes typically add 1–2 weeks. We’ll give you an exact lead time at quote.
Can you replicate the look of original 1920s windows?
Yes. We replicate original grid patterns, glass divisions, and mullion profiles. The interior view from the room looks identical to the original — but with modern energy performance.
Are custom windows more expensive?
Custom shapes typically add 25–60% to the cost of an equivalent rectangular window. The exact premium depends on the shape complexity — arches are modest, irregular polygons more.
Will the local historic preservation board approve your windows?
In nearly every case, yes. We’ve worked with the Charlotte HPC on dozens of approved projects. We’ll prepare the submittal package if your home is in a historic district.
Can you match the interior wood trim of original windows?
Yes. We offer stainable interior options including oak, maple, and engineered pine — finishable to match your existing trim.
Do custom shapes affect energy efficiency?
No. The glass package and frame material are the same as our rectangular windows. ENERGY STAR ratings apply to custom shapes too.
