Montclair’s median construction year is 1938 — the oldest of any municipality in our service area. The typical home in Montclair was built before the Second World War. Victorians with front porches and stained glass transoms. Arts & Crafts bungalows with built-in bookshelves and hand-crafted woodwork. Tudor Revivals with stone foundations and casement windows. Colonial Revival homes that set the standard for quality residential construction across a generation. These homes were built with care and character that today’s new construction rarely matches — and that Montclair’s community of artists, designers, and creative professionals has chosen deliberately, generation after generation, as the right context for the lives they want to live.
Replacing the windows in homes like these requires a different standard of expertise. Non-standard openings. Original frame construction. Architectural details — decorative glass, arched transoms, divided lites — that require precise specification. And a product that respects the home’s character: a real wood interior, paintable and stainable to match the original trim and millwork.
We’re Montclair’s Andersen Certified Elite Contractor. We install the full Andersen line — leading with the 200 Series for Montclair’s prewar homes and the A-Series for Upper Montclair’s premium properties. We back every job with Andersen’s warranty plus our own installation guarantee. Most installations completed in 1–2 days. And if you find a lower price anywhere else? We’ll match it.
Here’s what matters most for Montclair homeowners — and what separates us:
Montclair is one of northern New Jersey’s most celebrated communities — a township that has drawn artists, writers, musicians, and creative professionals for well over a century, and that has maintained its architectural heritage, walkable character, and community identity across generations. The Montclair Art Museum, founded in 1914 at 3 South Mountain Avenue, is one of the oldest and most significant art museums in New Jersey, specializing in American and Native American art. The Wellmont Theater on Bloomfield Avenue is one of northern New Jersey’s premier live music venues, housed in a 1920s-era historic building that reflects the same commitment to preservation that defines Montclair’s residential character. The NJ Transit Montclair-Boonton Line connects the township’s four stations — Bay Street, Watchung Avenue, Upper Montclair, and Claridge — directly to Newark and Midtown Manhattan, making Montclair one of Essex County’s most accessible communities for professional commuters.
The homes of Montclair are among the most architecturally significant in our entire service area. With a median construction year of 1938 — the oldest of any municipality we serve — Montclair’s residential streets are lined with Victorian-era homes, Arts & Crafts bungalows, Tudor Revivals with their characteristic stone façades, and Colonial Revival homes that set the standard for quality residential construction in the decades before and after the turn of the last century. Upper Montclair, the township’s northern sub-area with its own NJ Transit station and its own distinct identity, carries the highest concentration of premium detached single-family homes — 86.6% owner-occupied, the majority prewar construction, with the spacious lots and architectural presence that have made Upper Montclair one of Essex County’s most sought-after addresses.
The challenge of replacing windows in homes like these is real. Original frame construction in prewar homes often means non-standard opening sizes that require precise measurement and custom ordering. Decorative elements — stained glass transoms, divided lites, arched tops — require product specifications that preserve the home’s architectural character. And the right interior material matters: a wood sash interior, paintable and stainable to match the existing trim and millwork that generations of Montclair homeowners have maintained, is not an option in these homes — it is the requirement. The Andersen 200 Series addresses this requirement directly. We install Andersen replacement windows throughout all of Montclair Township — all 12 neighborhoods from Bay Street to Upper Montclair. Every window is a genuine Andersen product, installed by our factory-certified crews, and backed by Andersen’s industry-leading warranty.
Casement Windows
The architecturally authentic choice for Montclair’s Tudor Revival and Arts & Crafts homes where side-hinged windows are a defining period feature. Also the natural specification for kitchens and rear-facing applications throughout the township where cross-ventilation and views matter.
Double Hung Windows
Architecturally appropriate for Montclair’s Victorian, Colonial Revival, and postwar homes throughout the township. Works across the full range of Montclair’s housing stock.
Bay & Bow Windows
A period-appropriate architectural feature in Montclair’s Victorian homes and larger Colonial Revivals. Project outward to add interior space and restore the street presence these homes were designed to have.
Specialty Windows
Montclair’s prewar housing stock requires precise specification for arched transoms, non-standard sizing, divided lites, and architectural details that standard window lines cannot accommodate. The A-Series and E-Series handle these applications. Our certified crews measure every opening.
Picture Windows
Fixed panels for maximum natural light in Montclair’s living rooms and great rooms throughout the township.
Awning & Sliding Windows
Awning windows for basement and utility applications throughout Montclair. Sliding windows for smooth horizontal operation in secondary applications.
We install Andersen and ProVia doors throughout Montclair Township. For Montclair’s prewar Victorian and Tudor homes, the entry door is an architectural statement that sets the character of the property. Most installations completed in a single day, backed by manufacturer warranties and our own installation guarantee.
Entry Doors — Andersen and ProVia in fiberglass, steel, and wood. For Montclair’s Victorian, Tudor, and Colonial Revival homes, a wood or premium fiberglass entry door that matches the home’s architectural period is the right specification.
Patio Doors — French door and gliding configurations throughout Montclair.
Sliding Glass Doors — smooth, secure, and energy efficient throughout the township.
French Doors — the period-appropriate configuration for Montclair’s Colonial Revival and traditional homes.
As Montclair’s Andersen Certified Elite Contractor, we install the full Andersen range. For Montclair’s predominantly prewar housing stock, two series stand above the rest:
Andersen 200 Series
Our primary recommendation for Montclair Township. The 200 Series uses a real wood interior — paintable and stainable to match the existing trim, millwork, built-ins, and period detail of Montclair’s Victorian, Arts & Crafts, Tudor, and Colonial Revival homes. It preserves the architectural character that makes Montclair homes worth what they are worth while delivering modern energy performance and the full Andersen manufacturer warranty. In a township where the median construction year is 1938, the 200 Series is the right specification more often than any other product in the Andersen line.
Andersen A-Series
Architect-grade performance and complete customization. Our recommendation for Upper Montclair’s premium detached single-family homes where precise sizing, custom exterior material and interior finish options, and the highest level of Andersen quality are the priorities. Also the specification for Montclair’s non-standard architectural applications — arched transoms, custom configurations, and openings that require the A-Series’ full range of sizing flexibility.
Andersen 400 Series
For Montclair homes where the 200 Series is not specified — the postwar Colonials and ranches in the township’s newer sections, and homeowners who prioritize design flexibility and full color options alongside strong energy performance and durability.
Andersen E-Series
Maximum design flexibility for Montclair restoration and renovation applications requiring complete specification control over exterior material, interior finish, hardware, and configuration.
Andersen 100 Series
Fibrex composite. Low maintenance, energy efficient, genuine Andersen quality at an accessible price point.
Our free in-home consultation includes a specific recommendation for your Montclair home’s architectural style and age. No pressure, no obligation. Compare the Andersen 100 Series vs the 400 Series here.

“We had all our downstairs windows replaced by ACRE Windows & Doors last year. They have been such an improvement over what was here before. We decided to go with ACRE again this year to replace our upstairs windows! The process was very easy… and we are looking forward to working with them again!”

Andersen Certified Elite Contractor is the highest tier of installer certification awarded by Andersen Windows & Doors. It requires factory training, verified installation quality standards, and a proven track record of performance. Very few window installation companies serving Montclair hold this designation.
Because Montclair’s median construction year is 1938 — the oldest of any municipality in our service area. Most Montclair homes are prewar: Victorian, Arts & Crafts, Tudor Revival, and Colonial Revival properties where the windows are part of the home’s architectural identity. The Andersen 200 Series provides a real wood interior — paintable and stainable to match existing trim and millwork — that respects that identity. No other product in the Andersen line delivers a wood interior at the 200 Series price point. For the majority of Montclair’s housing stock, the 200 Series is simply the right answer.
Most Montclair homeowners invest between $950 and $2,000 per window installed — including product, labor, and cleanup. Prewar homes with 200 Series specifications or custom A-Series sizing may run toward the upper end. We offer 0% financing and our Price Match Guarantee means you won’t find a better price for the same Andersen product from a certified installer anywhere in Montclair or Essex County.
Yes — this is central to what we do in Montclair. Victorian homes, Arts & Crafts bungalows, and Tudor Revivals present specific installation challenges: non-standard openings, original frame construction, decorative glass, divided lites, and architectural details that demand expertise rather than a standard swap. We are EPA Lead Safe certified, required for work in pre-1978 homes. In Montclair, where the median construction year is 1938, EPA Lead Safe certification is not optional — it is the baseline. Our Andersen Certified Elite crews are experienced with these applications throughout the prewar housing stock.
Upper Montclair is the township’s premium sub-area — 79.7% single-family detached, 86.6% owner-occupied, with its own NJ Transit station and the highest concentration of large detached prewar homes in the township. For Upper Montclair’s premium properties, the A-Series is our recommendation: architect-grade performance, the full range of sizing options for non-standard architectural applications, and the highest level of Andersen quality for homes where that level of investment is appropriate.
Most projects are completed in 1–2 days. Prewar homes with non-standard configurations or a large number of windows may require two full days. We provide a specific timeline at your free in-home consultation.
Yes. 0% financing for qualified Montclair homeowners. Combined with 40% off and Price Match Guarantee, this makes the 200 Series and A-Series accessible for most budgets.
Yes — Andersen’s manufacturer warranty covers the product. Our own installation warranty covers labor and workmanship.
No pressure. No obligation. A specific recommendation for your Montclair home’s architectural style and age — from a prewar Victorian to an Upper Montclair Colonial — and a guaranteed best price. Available 7 days a week throughout Montclair Township and Essex County.
We promise never to share your personal information.
