Transom Window Installation

What This Service Involves

A transom is a window set above a door or another window, bringing in extra light and a touch of classic detail. Fixed or operable, they brighten entryways and rooms that would otherwise feel closed in during our overcast months. We frame the header opening carefully and flash the unit so it stays weathertight above the door below. The result adds both charm and welcome daylight to your home.

Benefits

Extra daylight above doors and windows; Classic architectural accent; Fixed or venting options available; Brightens dim entries and hallways; Custom shapes and glass styles

Our Process

1) Design the transom and confirm header framing; 2) Frame the opening above the door or window; 3) Install and secure the transom unit; 4) Flash, seal, insulate, and finish trim

What Affects the Cost

Transom size and fixed or operable design; Header and framing modifications; Glass style and decorative options; Placement and access; Interior and exterior trim work

Best Time of Year

Transom installs that open the exterior wall are best scheduled during drier weather to keep framing protected.
