What we find on Chevy Chase windows
Chevy Chase houses date largely from the 1890s through the 1930s, and many still have original wood sashes, some with divided lights. In the Chevy Chase Village Historic District, window changes go through a Historic Area Work Permit.
Some houses also have later replacement windows that do not match their style. We serve all of Chevy Chase in 20815, Maryland.
Do you repair windows in Chevy Chase, or only replace them?
We replace windows. Apart from warranty service on windows we installed, we do not take repair-only jobs. If only some windows need replacing, we will say so.
Choosing windows for a Chevy Chase home
In the historic district, window replacement gets moderate review if it can be seen from the street and lenient review if it cannot. The district’s most significant houses get strict review either way. The guidelines discourage vinyl and aluminum windows other than storm windows. We install wood windows as well as vinyl.
Outside the district, you can choose from the full lineup on our replacement windows page. On an older house, we measure each opening and tell you whether it needs a full-frame replacement.

The glass package, insert versus full-frame installation and the number of windows move the total. We measure each opening and put the price in writing. Financing is available with approved credit, and our window cost guide has more detail.
Historic review and municipal rules in Chevy Chase
Montgomery County usually needs no permit for same-size window replacement, but exterior work on a historic property needs a Historic Area Work Permit from the Historic Preservation Commission. In Chevy Chase Village, every exterior project starts with a free Pre-Design Review Meeting with Village staff. The Village will not issue its own permit until county permits, including any Historic Area Work Permit, are in hand. We supply the product data sheets and manufacturer color names. Some areas also have covenants or association rules. We work closely with the committees, we have a great relationship with plenty of HOAs in the area, and it has never been a problem for us.

Do I need a HAWP to replace windows in the Chevy Chase Village Historic District?
Yes. Exterior work on a property in the district goes through a Historic Area Work Permit from the Montgomery County Historic Preservation Commission. Windows visible from the street get moderate review, and the district’s most significant houses get strict review.
