South Orange is one of the few communities in New Jersey where the streetlights are still gas. The gaslights that line South Orange’s residential streets are not an affectation — they are a preservation commitment, maintained because they are part of what makes South Orange unmistakably South Orange. The Tudor homes, the Victorian Colonials, the tree canopy over streets that have looked essentially the same for a century: South Orange’s character is its architecture, and its architecture is predominantly prewar.
Nearly half of all homes in South Orange were built before 1940. Another 8.3% were built before 1950. More than half of South Orange’s housing stock predates 1950. In homes like these, the windows are rarely a minor detail — they are part of the architecture. Replacing them correctly means specifying a product that respects the home’s character: a real wood interior, paintable and stainable to match existing trim and millwork, that belongs in a 1930s Tudor rather than simply replacing what was there.
We’re South Orange’s Andersen Certified Elite Contractor. We install the full Andersen line — leading with the 200 Series for South Orange’s prewar Tudors, Colonials, and Victorians, and the 400 Series for the postwar balance. 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 South Orange homeowners — and what separates us:
South Orange Village is one of Essex County’s most distinctive communities — a village where the streetlights are gas, the architecture is predominantly prewar, and the commute to Manhattan runs on the NJ Transit Morris & Essex Line from South Orange station. The settlement that became South Orange dates to 1666, when Connecticut settlers moved westward to farm the land at the foot of the First Watchung Mountain. South Orange was part of Newark until 1806, and the Mountain Society — the informal name for the early settlement in the highlands above the city — developed its own character as one of New Jersey’s most established residential communities.
Today, South Orange is anchored by Seton Hall University on South Orange Avenue — founded in 1856 by Bishop James Roosevelt Bayley, the oldest diocesan university in the United States and home to the nationally recognized Pirates basketball program. The Village center along South Orange Avenue is walkable and vibrant, home to the South Orange Performing Arts Center (SOPAC), one of northern New Jersey’s most celebrated arts venues, alongside restaurants, boutiques, and the commuter hub at South Orange station. South Mountain Reservation borders the community to the west.
The homes of South Orange are its defining feature. With a median construction year of 1944 and 46.8% of homes built before 1940 — the second-highest prewar percentage in the Essex County cluster after Montclair — South Orange’s residential streets are lined with Tudor Revivals, Victorian Colonials, and early American Colonials that reflect the community’s century of investment in quality residential architecture. These homes are why residents choose South Orange — for the gaslights, the front porches, the architectural detail that newer construction cannot replicate. And these homes have windows that age, fail, and need replacing in a way that respects the property they’re in. We install Andersen replacement windows throughout all of South Orange Village. 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 appropriate choice for South Orange’s Tudor Revivals, where side-hinged windows are a defining period feature. Also the natural specification for kitchens and rear-facing applications throughout the village.
Double Hung Windows
For South Orange’s Victorian Colonials and early American Colonials throughout the village. Versatile, architecturally compatible, and the right choice for the majority of the postwar residential sections.
Specialty Windows
South Orange’s prewar housing stock frequently features arched transoms, non-standard sizing, divided lites, and decorative glass that require precise specification. Our Andersen Certified Elite crews measure every opening before any order is placed.
Bay & Bow Windows
A period-appropriate feature in South Orange’s Victorian and larger Colonial homes. Project outward to add interior space and restore the architectural presence these homes were designed to have.
Picture Windows

It preserves the architectural character of these homes while delivering modern energy performance and the full Andersen manufacturer warranty.
Andersen 400 Series
For South Orange’s postwar Colonials and the homes where the 200 Series is not specified. Exceptional durability, energy performance, and design flexibility.

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 South Orange hold this designation.
Because 46.8% of South Orange homes predate 1940 — the second-highest prewar percentage in the Essex County cluster after Montclair. South Orange’s Tudor Revivals, Victorian Colonials, and early American Colonials have architectural character that deserves to be preserved in the replacement window specification. The Andersen 200 Series provides a real wood interior paintable and stainable to match existing trim and millwork — the same wood character the home was built with, now in a modern frame with modern energy performance and the full Andersen manufacturer warranty.
Most South Orange homeowners invest between $950 and $1,900 per window installed — including product, labor, and cleanup. Prewar homes with 200 Series specifications or non-standard openings 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 anywhere in South Orange or Essex County.
