Double hung windows are the most common window style in American homes, and it is not hard to see why. Both sashes slide up and down independently, giving you flexible ventilation options, making them easy to clean from inside, and suiting a wide range of architectural styles without looking out of place. For homeowners in Tupelo looking to replace aging windows or upgrade to something more energy efficient, double hung windows are a natural starting point.

At Ensz & Sons Gutters, windows are part of the broader range of home exterior services we offer. We have been serving homeowners in the Tupelo area for over 30 years, and we bring the same no-shortcuts approach to window installation that we bring to every other job we take on.

We had 2 shades put up to help block sun & wind. It turned out great! We got to pick our colors & they both are controlled with a remote. The guys did a great job hiding wires, etc. We could not ask for any better service. Thanks so much! We highly recommend!

Amazing experience from the company rep and quote provider to the personnel performing the work. Could not ask for a more professional and respectful group. The gutters look great and function as they should.

The process from getting a quote to installation was great from start to finish. Brayden and Michael did a fantastic job installing our gutters. We couldn’t believe how well they matched the house trim too. When they were done, they cleaned up all around the house. Excellent company!

Amazing craftsmanship. I had a copper chimney top install The crew did a wonderful job. From sending someone out to give a quote and explain and answer any questions to communicating before coming, the process is well organized and professional. Highly recommend.

Benefits of Double Hung Windows

Double hung windows have held their place as the most popular residential window style because they deliver across several important categories.

Both sashes tilt inward on most modern double hung windows, allowing you to clean interior and exterior glass surfaces from inside the home without ladders or reaching outside.
The ability to open either the top or bottom sash independently gives real control over ventilation, letting warm air escape from the top while drawing cooler air in from the bottom during Tupelo’s hot, humid summers.
They work with a wide range of architectural styles, from traditional and craftsman homes to more contemporary exteriors, making them a versatile choice for most homes.
Modern double hung windows with Low-E coatings and gas fills between panes significantly reduce heat transfer and help keep cooling costs in check during Tupelo’s long summer season.
Properly installed double hung windows create a tight seal against the elements, reducing air infiltration that drives up energy bills and makes rooms uncomfortable.

Double Hung Window Installation & Replacement

Window installation quality matters as much as window quality. A well-made window installed poorly will underperform, leak air, and potentially allow water intrusion that causes damage well beyond the window itself.

Proper installation involves careful measurement before anything is ordered, removing the existing window cleanly without damaging surrounding framing, making sure the rough opening is square, level, and properly prepared, and setting the new window with flashing and sealing done correctly. Every step has to be handled with attention because mistakes during installation show up later as drafts, leaks, or operational problems that are frustrating and expensive to correct.

At Ensz & Sons, we measure carefully, prepare the opening correctly, and make sure every window we install is sealed and finished in a way that is built to last. Whether you are replacing a single window or upgrading every window in the home, we handle the job from start to finish.

Double Hung Window Repair

Not every window problem calls for full replacement. Common repairs we handle include:

Replacing worn or failed weatherstripping that is allowing air infiltration around the sashes and driving up energy costs.
Repairing or replacing balance mechanisms that have failed and are causing sashes to slide down on their own or become difficult to operate.
Addressing broken or fogged glass in insulated units where the seal between panes has failed and condensation is forming inside the glass.
Repairing or replacing hardware including locks, lifts, and tilt latches that have worn out or broken over time.

Tupelo’s combination of heat, humidity, and temperature swings puts real wear on window components over time, particularly weatherstripping and balance hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my double hung windows need to be replaced?

Common signs include drafts around the frame when closed, condensation forming between panes, sashes that are difficult to operate or will not stay open, visible frame or sill damage, and noticeably higher energy bills.

How long do double hung windows last?

Quality double hung windows typically last 20 to 30 years or more depending on material and maintenance. Proper installation and periodic upkeep make a real difference in Tupelo’s demanding climate.

Are double hung windows energy efficient?

Modern double hung windows with Low-E glass and gas fills are significantly more efficient than older units. In Tupelo’s long, hot summers the difference in cooling costs between old and new windows can be meaningful enough to factor into the payback calculation on a replacement project.

Can double hung windows be repaired instead of replaced?

Often yes. Failed weatherstripping, broken hardware, and balance issues can frequently be repaired at a fraction of replacement cost. We will give you an honest assessment of which makes more sense for your specific situation.

Does Ensz & Sons install windows on existing homes?

Yes. We handle window installation and replacement on existing homes across the Tupelo area, whether you are replacing one window or upgrading an entire home.
