Double-Hung Windows in Kuna, ID
Kuna, the gateway to the Snake River Birds of Prey country
Double-hung windows are the most familiar window in the Treasure Valley — two operable sashes in a single frame, both of which slide vertically so you can open the top, the bottom, or both for balanced ventilation. They suit nearly every architectural style here, from older Boise bench bungalows to newer Meridian and Eagle subdivisions, which is why they're our most-requested replacement window.
We install double-hung units in vinyl, fiberglass, and composite frames with insulated, low-E glass packages matched to Idaho's climate. Both sashes tilt in for cleaning from inside, which matters on second-story walls, and modern balance hardware holds the sash where you set it instead of dropping shut. We air-seal and flash every opening so the new unit performs the way its U-factor rating promises.
The performance numbers are where a replacement earns back its cost. A tight, well-flashed double-hung with a low U-factor cuts the winter drafts and summer heat gain that old single-pane and worn aluminum windows let through, and a low SHGC on south- and west-facing walls keeps the afternoon sun from cooking the rooms behind them.
Double-hung is the right default for most homes, but it isn't the only answer — casements seal tighter and sliders cost less per opening. We'll tell you honestly where a double-hung is the best fit and where another operating style would serve a particular room better.

Our process
How double-hung windows works in Kuna
- 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 Kuna 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 Kuna
Kuna, the gateway to the Snake River Birds of Prey country
Kuna is a fast-growing but still rural Ada County town on the valley's southern edge, where acreage, ag ground, and new subdivisions sit side by side on open, high-desert terrain. The housing mix runs from brand-new tract homes near the core to older ranch-style homes and rural farmhouses on the outskirts toward Swan Falls.
Kuna's open high-desert location means siding takes the full force of valley winds and unshaded sun with little tree cover to break it up. Older homes on rural acreage often have weathered, chalking siding and drafty single-pane windows, while even newer subdivision homes see fast south- and west-elevation fading on the exposed flats.

Will you clean up after double-hung windows in Kuna?
Always. Every Kuna 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.
What does U-factor and SHGC mean for my home?
U-factor measures how well the window resists heat loss — lower is better for our cold winters. SHGC measures how much solar heat the glass lets in — a lower SHGC on south- and west-facing walls keeps summer afternoons cooler. We match both to each elevation.
