Casement Windows in Boise, ID
Idaho's capital, from the historic North End to the Foothills
On Boise's Bench ranches and the foothill subdivisions catching wind off the Boise Front, a window that compresses shut beats one that slides past itself — and that is exactly what a casement does. Iron Crest Exteriors installs crank-out casement windows where Boise homes need them most: over kitchen sinks, in tall stairwell and North End gable walls, and on the windward elevations that take the hillside gusts. The crank reaches openings a double-hung never could, and the all-around compression seal holds tight through the freeze-thaw swings and cold snaps that drive up heating bills here. On a wall framing Table Rock or the Greenbelt, a single sash also means an uninterrupted view.

Our process
How casement windows works in Boise
- 01
On-site measure & assessment
We measure each opening, check the frame and wall for rot or moisture, confirm swing clearance, and set frame material and glass package before quoting.
- 02
Glass & frame selection
We match U-factor and SHGC to each elevation and explain the trade-offs between vinyl, fiberglass, and composite frames so the choice is informed.
- 03
Remove old units & inspect
Old windows come out and we inspect the rough opening, addressing any rot or water damage before the new casement is set.
- 04
Set, flash & insulate
Each casement is set level and square, flashed and air-sealed to the weather barrier, and insulated so its tight rated performance is actually achieved.
- 05
Hardware, trim & walkthrough
We finish trim, seal joints, adjust the crank and locking hardware for a full compression seal, and walk the job with you before closeout.
Every Boise job includes pulling any permit Ada County requires and a full clean-up — we leave your home tight, weather-sealed, and looking sharp.
Working in Boise
Idaho's capital, from the historic North End to the Foothills
Boise climbs from the Boise River and its Greenbelt up into the Foothills, layering century-old North End and East End homes over mid-century Bench ranches and newer hillside subdivisions like Harris Ranch. That spread of building eras means the exterior conditions vary block by block — original old-growth wood lap and cedar shakes downtown, painted hardboard and aluminum on the Bench, and 1990s–2000s vinyl on the foothill edges that is now reaching replacement age.
Older Boise homes often hide failing siding and single-pane wood or aluminum windows behind charming facades, while south- and west-facing foothill elevations take a beating from intense afternoon sun. Freeze-thaw swings and wind off the hills make proper flashing, house wrap, and a weather-tight install matter as much as the material itself.

Casement Windows in Boise — FAQs
Will casements work over the sink in my older North End kitchen?
That is one of the spots they shine. North End and East End kitchens from the 1900s–1930s often put the window behind a deep counter or a farmhouse sink, where reaching across to lift a double-hung is awkward at best. A casement's crank handle sits at the bottom, so you operate it without leaning over the basin, and the single sash keeps the view of the yard or the Foothills open. We size the unit to the existing opening so the historic proportions of the wall stay intact.
Which parts of Boise do you serve?
All of them — from the North End to the Bench and throughout Ada County. We'll come to your Boise home for a free estimate.
Do you work outside Boise, too?
We do — along with Boise, we regularly handle casement windows in nearby Garden City, Eagle, Meridian, Kuna and across the wider Treasure Valley. If you're near the Boise River, you're well inside our service area.
Will you clean up after casement windows in Boise?
Always. Every Boise job ends with a full clean-up — we haul away the old materials and packaging and leave your Ada County home tidy and protected.
Why are casements considered the most energy-efficient operating window?
Because the sash compresses against weatherstripping all the way around when it closes, a casement seals tighter than windows that slide past each other. That gives it among the best air-infiltration and U-factor numbers available — a real benefit on the valley's cold, windy elevations.
What's the downside of casement windows?
They crank outward, so they don't work where the sash would open into a walkway, patio, or deck path, and the crank-and-hinge hardware is one more mechanism that can eventually wear. Very wide openings are also better handled as multiple units. We'll flag where those matter.
