Blending Mid-Century Charm with Modern Performance in Mountain Brook

We recently had the pleasure of working with a local family on a window replacement project in the heart of Mountain Brook. Their home on Cherry Street, built in 1948, featured the original steel casement windows, classic in style, but no longer keeping up with the demands of Birmingham’s weather.

With rising summer temperatures and outdated efficiency, it was time to bring this beloved home into the modern era while preserving its charm.

Our Recent Window Replacement Project in Mountainbrook, AL

Preserving Character While Improving Performance

Mountain Brook homes often feature unique architectural details that homeowners want to maintain. In this case, the family was focused on improving energy efficiency without compromising the original aesthetic. The challenge was to replace aging steel casement windows with new vinyl sliders that would blend seamlessly with the home’s historic charm.

The young couple currently living in the home, whose father owns the property as an investment, are in the process of fixing it up. It’s a familiar story in Mountain Brook: breathing new life into older homes while keeping their character intact.

Mountain Brook AL, Window Replacement

A Two-Stage Installation with a Strong Finish

Although the project was completed in two stages, it ultimately led to the addition of more windows, further improving the home’s overall performance and appearance.

Throughout the installation, our team worked efficiently while the homeowners were away. We take pride in being a crew homeowners can trust, even when they’re not on-site. This level of confidence speaks volumes about our reputation as a local, small business with integrity.

Despite one day of heavy rain, the project remained on schedule, and the results exceeded expectations. Our crew was genuinely proud of the transformation, both in appearance and function.

Technical Highlights of the Project

  • Energy Efficiency: Vinyl sliders offer a tight seal, reducing heat gain and lowering cooling costs.
  • Preserved Aesthetic: Modern windows that maintain the mid-century exterior appearance.
  • Custom Fit: Replacing steel casements required precision sizing and thoughtful installation.
  • Quiet Comfort: The new windows help dampen outside noise for a more peaceful living space.
  • Lasting Value: Upgraded materials that support long-term comfort and curb appeal.

A Quiet Transformation That Speaks Volumes

One of the most rewarding aspects of this project was how subtle the transformation felt, yet how significant the results were. From the street, the home retains its timeless charm, but inside, it’s a different story. With better insulation, quieter interiors, and windows that glide open effortlessly, this Mountain Brook home now lives up to modern expectations without sacrificing its roots.

This type of work is why we love what we do. It’s not just about replacing windows, it’s about helping Birmingham-area families invest in homes they truly love.

Exceeds Expectations! Greg and his crew were great communicators throughout the process of replacing all the windows in my home.

My wife and I just had our windows replaced by Greg and his crew from The Window Source.

...After getting 7 quotes from vendors, we found Greg at The Window Source.  The quoting process was quick, and all my questions were answered sufficiently.  Once we signed a contract Greg kept us informed as to shipping of our windows and when we could schedule the install.  The install was 5 days, but they only needed inside the house for 3...
