Ada County, Idaho
Double-Hung Windows in Star, ID
Star, riverside acreage growing fast along the Boise River
Star strings along the Boise River at Ada County's western edge, a fast-growing town that keeps its rural-residential character — acreage lots, horse properties, original farmhouses, and 1980s–1990s ranch homes alongside newer builds. Double-hung windows fit that range from old farmhouse to new construction, and on the lower, river-adjacent lots that take on more moisture, a well-sealed replacement matters more than most homeowners expect. Iron Crest Exteriors installs modern double-hungs in vinyl, fiberglass, and composite frames with low-E glass, both sashes operating and tilting in for cleaning, flashed and air-sealed so the openings stay genuinely weather-tight. They suit a Star home whether it's a river-bottom farmhouse or an open-ground new build.
What's included
- Insert & full-frame replacement

- Energy-efficient glass packages
- Vinyl & fiberglass frames
- Custom sizing & grids
Across Star — downtown Star, riverfront Star, rural Star acreage, and the rest of Ada County — we tailor every double-hung windows project to the age, style, and exposure of the home.
Our process
How double-hung windows works in Star
- 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 Star 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 Star
Star, riverside acreage growing fast along the Boise River
Star is one of the valley's fastest-growing small towns, strung along the Boise River at the western edge of Ada County. It keeps a rural-residential character — acreage lots and horse properties — even as new subdivisions arrive, so the housing stock spans original farmhouses, 1980s–1990s ranch homes, and recent custom and tract builds.
Riverside exposure in Star means siding and trim take on more moisture and humidity than drier parts of the valley, especially on the lower, river-adjacent lots. Older farmhouses and 1980s–1990s homes on larger lots frequently need a full re-side and window upgrade to be genuinely weather-tight, while new builds on open ground face the usual wind-driven sun fade.

Double-Hung Windows in Star — FAQs
Does the river-adjacent moisture in Star affect which window frame I should choose?
It's worth factoring in. Star's lower, river-adjacent lots carry more ambient moisture and humidity than the drier valley floor, and while a double-hung in any modern frame resists that far better than an old wood unit, the frame material and the flashing detail are what matter most. Fiberglass and composite frames are especially dimensionally stable, and we flash and air-seal every opening so water drains back out instead of into the wall. We also check the existing frame and surrounding wall for any moisture damage before setting the new units.

What's the site like after the work is done in Star?
Spotless. We finish every Star project by clearing out old materials and debris, so your Ada County property is left clean 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.
