WINDOW & DOOR INSTALLATION IN CHATHAM: CLEAR VIEWS, FORTIFIED AGAINST THE ATLANTIC

Preserving the soul of your Chatham home requires a fortress-like approach to openings. We combine strict historical accuracy with impact-rated engineering to withstand the salt, fog, and gales of the Lower Cape.

THE "SALT-WELD" EFFECT & COASTAL LEAKS

Why Standard Windows Expire Early in Chatham. In inland towns, a window is just a window. In Chatham—whether you are facing the open Atlantic on Shore Road or dealing with the dense fog of the Old Village—a window is the primary point of entry for the elements. Homeowners here frequently report two specific failures:

If a contractor treats your Chatham home like it’s in the suburbs, using standard aluminum flashing or non-coastal glass, the installation will fail. The fog here is relentless; it finds every gap in the caulking.

THE LIONS "COASTAL ARMOR" INSTALLATION

How we seal your home against the Lower Cape climate.

The "Full-Frame" Audit

We rarely recommend "insert" replacements in Chatham. We remove the entire unit down to the studs to inspect for salt-induced rot. We must ensure the framing is sound before investing in new glass.

Custom Sill Pan Fabrication

Water will get behind siding in a Nor'easter. We install non-corrosive, custom-fabricated sill pans (often copper or heavy-duty composite) that capture this water and drain it safely to the exterior, protecting your interior walls.

Impact-Rated Glass Packages

We install windows rated for "Wind Zone 3." These units feature laminated glass that can withstand flying debris during a hurricane, protecting your home’s envelope even if a branch strikes the glass.

Historic Grille Patterns (SDLs)

For homes in the Historic District, we utilize Simulated Divided Lites (SDLs). This gives the shadow line and depth of an antique 6-over-6 window while providing the energy efficiency of modern double-pane argon gas.

Stainless Steel & PVD Hardware

We mandate the use of coastal-specific hardware packages. We use PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) finishes that are guaranteed not to pit or tarnish, even with constant exposure to salt spray.

AVOIDING THE "DROP-IN" DISASTER

Why “Replacement Windows” Often Mean “Rotten Frames” Many companies will sell you a “quick fix” by inserting a new vinyl window inside your old wooden frame. In Chatham, this is risky. The old frame has likely absorbed decades of salt and moisture.

By capping over it with aluminum, they trap that moisture inside, accelerating the rot. Lions Siding & Roofing takes the disciplined route. We strip the opening. We correct the framing. We flash it with high-grade butyl tapes. We build a new, rot-proof perimeter using cellular PVC that looks like wood but lasts like stone.

FROM ANTIQUE CAPES TO OCEANFRONT ESTATES

Engineering Views, Protecting Interiors. We have successfully replaced drafty, single-pane units in 1800s captains’ homes without sacrificing their character, and installed floor-to-ceiling impact sliders on modern builds overlooking Pleasant Bay.

From sales and estimating through scheduling and field coordinating all of your assets have been far above average. Ty made a great presentation as a sales representative of your company and Iago supervised a very competent crew, responded to my concerns about schedule and finished this job early with little interruption in our lives. Thank you again for your excellent service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ty Soares, who works for this company, is a kind individual, a man who can be relied on and trusted. He found me stranded and lost with my two dogs in a conservation area parking lot and took time out of his busy day to give my dogs water and he drove me and my dogs to my car which was a few miles away. I am getting an estimate for new windows from this company because if their employees are like Ty, that is who I want to do business with.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thanks to Yuri, Ty, Gabriel and the entire Lions Roofing Team for an amazing job installing our new roof. From start to finish, this is a first class company that makes sure they deliver what they promise and that the customer is satisfied when the job is complete. Ty did a thorough pre-inspection of both the inside and outside of the roof area, eaves ridge and gutters. The written quote was one of the best I've ever received and they provided copies of their insurance and license for piece of mind. Project Manager Gabriel was on site before, during and after completion, and always available to answer any questions. The overall job was completed in one day, with a follow-up day for a couple of hours to finish a couple of additional requests I had. One point I must bring up was how clean the job site was after they were done. If you have any roofing or siding projects coming up. I give my endorsement to Lions Siding and Roofing!
Thanks again!

CURATED FOR THE "ELBOW" OF THE CAPE

Andersen 400 Series (StormWatch®)

The gold standard for Chatham. The "Perma-Shield" exterior cladding resists salt spray, while the wood interior maintains the classic Cape Cod aesthetic. Available with impact-resistant glass.

Marvin Elevate (Fiberglass)

Fiberglass is virtually impervious to salt and temperature fluctuations. It expands and contracts at the same rate as glass, ensuring the seals remain tight even during our freeze-thaw cycles.

Provia Entry Systems

Fiberglass entry doors that replicate the grain of oak or mahogany but will not swell, warp, or rot in the humidity. We equip these with multi-point locking systems for maximum wind resistance.

THE LIONS PROMISE: ZERO OUTSOURCING

Uniformed Employees

The team removing your old windows is the same team installing the new ones.

Site Protection

We treat your home as an asset. We use heavy drop cloths, dust barriers, and perform magnetic sweeps to ensure no nails are left in your driveway.

Transparent Communication

If we open a wall and find termite damage or dry rot, we stop. We show you. We fix it properly. We never cover it up.

SEAL THE ENVELOPE OF YOUR HOME

Drafts are expensive. Rot is dangerous. Stop heating the outdoors. Schedule a comprehensive Project Review with Chatham’s exterior experts.

NAVIGATING THE HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION

Compliance Without Compromise: Chatham has some of the strictest aesthetic codes on Cape Cod. We are experienced in presenting to the Historic Business District Commission. We know exactly which window specifications (muntin width, light patterns, casing materials) meet approval while still giving you modern thermal performance.
