Yes — windows can be installed in cold weather, and a properly sealed cold weather window installation holds the same quality as one done in warmer months. With 7,000+ installations completed since 2011, Coastal Windows & Exteriors is a woman-owned, family-run company serving Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine, and its crews set one opening at a time so your home is never left wide open to the cold. Temperature shapes the sealants and technique, not whether the job can be done well.
