Double-Hung Windows in Garden City, ID
Garden City, riverfront redevelopment along the Greenbelt
Garden City is a compact enclave wrapped by Boise, running along the river and Greenbelt where older residential lots around the Chinden corridor and Plantation sit beside a wave of riverfront redevelopment. Many of those original homes still carry dated aluminum windows that predate modern energy codes — and the proximity to the Boise River means more ambient moisture than drier parts of the valley. Iron Crest Exteriors replaces them with modern double-hungs in vinyl or fiberglass with low-E glass, both sashes operating and tilting in to clean, flashed and air-sealed for these tight, mixed-use lots. A clean window swap lifts both the weather tightness and the curb appeal redevelopment is bringing to the area.

Our process
How double-hung windows works in Garden City
- 01
On-site measure & assessment
We measure every opening, check the existing frame and surrounding wall for rot or water damage, and confirm frame material and glass package before quoting a firm price.
- 02
Glass & frame selection
We match U-factor and SHGC to each elevation and walk you through vinyl, fiberglass, and composite frames so you understand the trade-offs before anything is ordered.
- 03
Remove old units & inspect
Old sashes and frames come out and we inspect the rough opening, addressing any rot or moisture damage we find before the new unit goes in.
- 04
Set, flash & insulate
Each window is set level and square, flashed and air-sealed to the weather barrier, and the gaps are insulated so the rated performance is actually achieved.
- 05
Trim, seal & walkthrough
Interior and exterior trim is finished, joints are sealed, we test every sash for smooth operation, and we walk the job with you before closeout.
Every Garden City job includes pulling any permit Ada County requires and a full clean-up — we leave your home tight, weather-sealed, and looking sharp.

Garden City, riverfront redevelopment along the Greenbelt
Garden City is a compact, independent enclave wrapped by Boise, running along the Boise River and Greenbelt. It blends older residential and light-industrial lots with a wave of riverfront redevelopment, and many original homes here have dated aluminum windows and original or early-replacement siding overdue for an update.
Garden City's proximity to the Boise River means homes near the corridor see more ambient moisture, and the older housing stock around Chinden and Plantation has siding and windows that predate modern energy codes. Tight lots and a mix of residential and light-industrial neighbors make a clean, well-detailed re-side as much about curb appeal as weatherproofing.

Double-Hung Windows in Garden City — FAQs
Why replace my Garden City home's old aluminum windows with double-hungs?
Aluminum frames are the issue. The dated aluminum windows common on Garden City's older Chinden and Plantation homes conduct heat straight through the frame, sweat with condensation in winter, and predate the energy codes a modern window meets. A double-hung in an insulated vinyl or fiberglass frame with low-E glass breaks that thermal bridge, cuts the drafts and condensation, and gives you both-sash ventilation and tilt-in cleaning the old units never offered. On a riverfront lot with extra ambient moisture, the tighter seal and better frame make a real comfort difference.

Will you clean up after double-hung windows in Garden City?
Always. Every Garden City job ends with a full clean-up — we haul away the old materials and packaging and leave your Ada County home tidy and protected.
What's the difference between double-hung and single-hung?
In a double-hung both sashes operate and tilt in for cleaning; in a single-hung only the bottom sash moves. Double-hung costs a bit more but gives you top-down ventilation and far easier cleaning on upper floors, which is why most of our valley customers choose it.
Will new double-hung windows stop my drafts?
A properly installed, well-flashed double-hung with a low U-factor seals far tighter than old single-pane or worn aluminum windows. Most drafts we find trace to failed seals and poor air-sealing around the old frame, and correct installation is what fixes that — not just the new unit.
