The project began after large hail broke multiple windows on the home. The before photo documents the original window and shutter configuration before replacement work started.
Broken window glass leaves a home exposed and creates an immediate safety concern, so damaged areas should be kept clear until repairs can be completed.
During the replacement, the damaged windows were removed and the existing shutters were taken off the home.
Removing the shutters opened the exterior around each window so the replacement units and new trim could be installed cleanly.
The new windows were installed in the prepared openings. Proper fit and exterior finishing are important parts of restoring the home after storm damage.
The during photo shows the transition from the original shuttered windows to the updated window openings.
To complete the project, new blue-grey trim was installed around the replacement windows. The trim gives the home a clean, consistent finish without the old shutters.
The after photo shows the completed window replacement and the updated blue-grey trim across the home.
Yes. Large hail can crack or break window glass and may damage components around the opening. Broken windows should be kept clear and assessed promptly.
No. In this project, the shutters were removed and the replacement windows were finished with new blue-grey trim instead.
Photograph the affected windows and surrounding exterior before cleanup or replacement, while avoiding broken glass and other unsafe areas.
This Benson guide helps you organize a request; it is not a substitute for inspecting the actual property. Oregon homeowners can also review licensing, contract, bid, and lien guidance from the Oregon Construction Contractors Board consumer tools before hiring or signing for construction work.
When comparing next steps, ask what condition the proposed work addresses, what is included, which materials are expected, and how changes will be approved. Keep written estimates, contracts, invoices, and completion photos with the property records. If a condition involves immediate danger, active flooding, fire, gas, or electrical risk, contact the appropriate emergency service before arranging ordinary repair work.
