Wilson Window Replacement provides professional aluminum windows in Wilson, NC for residential and commercial properties across Wilson County and the public-power towns of eastern North Carolina. Most aluminum windows we meet in Wilson are not being installed. They are being taken out. Single-glazed aluminum from the middle of the last century is still in a great many houses here, and it is usually the worst thermal component in the entire wall.
Bare aluminum conducts heat about as freely as anything you could reasonably put in an opening. Through our summers the frame runs hot, through a cold snap it runs cold, and it sweats on the room-side face whenever the house is being cooled hard. None of that is fixed by changing the glass and leaving the metal alone.
The product-level answer is a thermal break, a non-conductive separation built into the frame so the outside face and the inside face are not one continuous piece of metal. Modern architectural aluminum has one. The old residential stock does not, and there is no honest way to retrofit one into it. Anyone offering to make a 1965 frame perform like a modern one is selling you an insert that will sit inside it.
So on a house our usual recommendation is to replace old aluminum rather than nurse it, and to move to vinyl or fiberglass unless there is a specific reason to stay in metal. That is the opposite of the advice we give on old wood sash, which is very often worth saving and which we will happily rebuild.
There are real reasons to stay in metal. Very narrow sight lines, a mid-century elevation the owner wants to keep honest, spans a residential frame cannot hold, and any opening that is really storefront work wearing a house's clothes. In those cases we quote thermally broken aluminum and price it without apology.
Where aluminum genuinely wins is dimensional stability under heat. It does not soften, it does not creep over time, and a dark anodized or powder-coat finish on a hot west wall raises no argument from us at all. On a large opening facing a July sun in this county, that stability is worth paying for, and it is the one argument for metal that survives contact with our summers.
We do not recommend an interior storm panel over old aluminum as a permanent answer. It improves the number on paper and it creates a second cavity that collects condensate and dust, and in a humid climate that cavity becomes something you clean twice a year for the rest of the window's life.
If the budget only reaches part of a house, take the aluminum out first and leave the wood for later. That is the order that produces the biggest change in how the rooms actually feel to live in, and it is the order that will be in our proposal even when it is plainly not the largest job on offer.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — exterior solar screen fabric rated by openness factor, west elevation glass ordered to a tighter solar coefficient, sealed glass unit set back into the original sash, vinyl frames welded at the corner rather than mechanically joined, unbroken aluminum frames left over from the 1960s, laminated glass bought for noise and security rather than storms — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Wilson and nearby communities including Elm City, Black Creek, Lucama, Stantonsburg.

Materials, equipment and how we do aluminum windows
The difference between aluminum windows that lasts and aluminum windows that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with exterior solar screen fabric rated by openness factor, west elevation glass ordered to a tighter solar coefficient, sealed glass unit set back into the original sash, vinyl frames welded at the corner rather than mechanically joined, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Wilson job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of window work in Wilson County and the public-power towns of eastern North Carolina means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Wilson Chooses Wilson Window Replacement
- ✓We refuse to print a payback figure. Wilson Energy rates are set locally and the city bills everything on one statement, so a savings estimate here is a number no homeowner could ever check.
- ✓We write the window schedule by elevation. The west and south openings get a tighter solar coefficient and the north side gets standard product, because paying the same premium on every wall wastes most of it.
- ✓We argue against triple glazing in this zone. Our heating season is short, the sash gets heavy, the hardware wears faster, and the money does far more when it is spent on solar control instead.
- ✓We measure what an insert costs you in opening size before it is ordered, because an inch surrendered at each jamb of a bedroom window is exactly where a marginal escape opening stops working.
