Double-Hung Windows in Parma, ID
Parma, small-town Canyon County near the Snake River
Parma is a small Canyon County town near the confluence of the Boise and Snake Rivers, set in irrigated farm and orchard country along the Highway 20/26 corridor near Old Fort Boise. Its modest, older housing reflects those agricultural roots, and many homes carry dated double-hungs untouched since original construction — single-pane or aluminum units worn down by the river-bottom moisture and irrigation humidity that wear seals faster 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 an exposed, treeless ag lot. They restore real weather tightness to an older Parma home.

Our process
How double-hung windows works in Parma
- 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 Parma job includes pulling any permit Canyon County requires and a full clean-up — we leave your home tight, weather-sealed, and looking sharp.
Working in Parma
Parma, small-town Canyon County near the Snake River
Parma is a small Canyon County town near the confluence of the Boise River and Snake River, set in irrigated farm and orchard country. Its modest, older housing stock reflects its agricultural roots, and many homes in and around town carry dated exteriors that haven't been significantly updated since original construction.
Parma's river-bottom location brings seasonal moisture and irrigation humidity that wear on siding and window seals faster than in drier parts of the valley. Older homes here are strong candidates for a full re-side and window replacement to restore energy efficiency and weather tightness, especially on exposed, treeless ag lots.

Double-Hung Windows in Parma — FAQs
Is it worth replacing the original double-hungs on an older Parma farm home?
For most of Parma's never-updated homes, the comfort and efficiency payoff makes it worthwhile. Decades-old single-pane or aluminum double-hungs leak air steadily and let irrigation-season moisture work into the seals on an exposed river-bottom lot. Modern replacements with insulated low-E glass and weatherstripped sashes seal those openings, and a proper flashed install drains moisture away from the wall. We check each opening for damage before setting the new units, and we'll quote after measuring so the scope fits the home and budget rather than guessing over the phone.

Do you work outside Parma, too?
We do — along with Parma, we regularly handle double-hung windows in nearby Homedale, Caldwell, Middleton, Nampa 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 double-hung windows in Parma?
Always. Every Parma job ends with a full clean-up — we haul away the old materials and packaging and leave your Canyon 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.
