Yonkers Window Replacement provides professional wood & clad-wood windows in Yonkers, NY for residential and commercial properties across the lower Hudson Valley. Clad-wood exists for one situation, common in the north and west of this city: the interior casing is original and worth keeping, and a white plastic frame beside it would look like exactly what it is. The outside gets a metal or composite skin.
The estate blocks above the parkway and the better pre-war apartment buildings are full of joinery that a careful owner should not be replacing at all. Where the sash is sound, the cheapest and most respectful answer is usually to keep it, tune it and add a storm panel. We will tell you that before we quote a clad-wood unit against it.
When the sash really has gone, clad-wood is the one product that treats the inside and the outside of an opening on their own separate terms, which is worth paying for in a room you actually sit in. Painted timber inside continues the room; the cladding outside stops you repainting a sixth-floor sash from a ladder every four years, which on these buildings is not a small consideration.
Divided lites are where the money disappears, so it is worth being clear. True divided lites use individual small panes and are correct for a landmark-sensitive elevation and expensive everywhere else. Simulated divided lites glue bars onto the inner and outer surfaces of one sealed pane, with a matching bar floating in the cavity between the two sheets. From the pavement almost nobody tells the difference.
There is a composite middle ground worth naming. Andersen's Fibrex binds reclaimed wood fiber into polymer, giving a solid section instead of a hollow plastic extrusion. It keeps a narrow profile and a dark finish better than vinyl, at a price below clad-wood. It is a sensible answer where the elevation matters but the budget will not stretch to timber.
Where we argue against clad-wood is any building where the interior is already painted drywall and the windows are behind blinds. A rental three-family gets nothing from a wood interior except a maintenance liability, and the same money in vinyl or fiberglass buys better hardware and a tighter unit. Buying wood for a room nobody looks at is not preservation, it is decoration nobody sees.
The upper-floor caution applies here too. Timber interiors are the least forgiving surface in a building that pushes damp air outward all winter, because condensation running off cold glass lands on the sill and stays there. So on a top story we specify a warm-edge spacer, the tightest air-leakage rating in the range, and never an untreated interior sill under a north-facing unit.
Lead time is the practical constraint. Clad-wood is usually made to order in a way vinyl is not, and on a whole-building program that means the order goes in well before the scaffold does. We will give you the real lead time at quotation rather than discovering it together in week three, when the scaffold is already up and being charged by the week.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — warm-edge stainless spacer, compression bulb weatherstrip at the sash perimeter, sloped sill pan with an end dam, low-expansion foam at the perimeter shim space, polyamide thermal break in an aluminum section, argon-filled sealed glazing unit — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Yonkers and nearby communities including Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, White Plains, Scarsdale.

Materials, equipment and how we do wood & clad-wood windows
The difference between wood & clad-wood windows that lasts and wood & clad-wood windows that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with warm-edge stainless spacer, compression bulb weatherstrip at the sash perimeter, sloped sill pan with an end dam, low-expansion foam at the perimeter shim space, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Yonkers job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of window work in the lower Hudson Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Yonkers Chooses Yonkers Window Replacement
- ✓We price a tall building by elevation and floor, not by a unit count. The sixth floor and the first floor of the same walk-up get different air-leakage ratings because they fail in opposite directions.
- ✓We read the sash before we quote a replacement. Where the frame and jamb are sound, re-glazing an existing sash is exempt from the energy code's replacement rules and costs a fraction of a new unit.
- ✓Nobody here needs impact-rated glazing. Yonkers sits outside any wind-borne debris region. Saying that out loud costs us work every year, and we say it anyway.
- ✓Hillside lots get surveyed for grade before we talk about basement openings. Which wall a cellar window goes in matters far more here than the numbers that go on the order form.
