Raleigh Window Pros provides professional casement and awning windows in Raleigh, NC for residential and commercial properties across Wake County. A casement seals by compression rather than by contact. Its sash swings inward against a bulb gasket, and a multi-point lock pulls it tight the whole way round. That is why casements test lower for air leakage than any sliding type of equal size.
In Wake County that matters most on the windward wall of the house. Storm wind through the Piedmont arrives with rain immediately behind it, and a compression seal turns away driven water that a double-hung's sliding weatherstrip will quietly pass into the sill and then into the wall below it.
An awning does the same work with its hinge at the head, so the open sash sheds water away from the opening instead of catching it. That makes it the right unit over a kitchen sink, in a bathroom you want to leave cracked through a summer afternoon thunderstorm, or high in a stairwell where nobody wants to reach a lock. The same hinge geometry is why an awning stays usable in a drizzle.
The failure point on a casement is almost never the seal. It is the operator: the crank gearbox and the steel hinge arm that carries the sash. Grit and spring pollen work into the hinge track, the arm begins to bind against it, and somebody keeps cranking against the resistance until the gear teeth in the housing strip out entirely.
That is also the repair, and it is a small one. A casement with a dead crank does not need a new window. It needs an operator, sometimes a hinge arm, occasionally both. Under the state's interpretation that is maintenance rather than an alteration, no energy table is triggered, and we stock the common operator patterns on the van instead of quoting you a replacement unit for a five-dollar gearbox.
When we do replace a casement, we choose the hinge by hand rather than by default. A standard arm under a sash wider than about thirty inches will sag within a few years, and an egress-grade or heavy-duty hinge holds the sash square so the lock points stay aligned with their keepers and the gasket keeps its compression evenly.
Casements carry one honest drawback and it is the screen. The screen sits on the room side, so it collects whatever the room collects and it is in your hand every time you clean the glass. Meanwhile the open sash swings out into the space beyond, over a walkway, a deck rail, a hose bib or a shrub somebody planted too close to the wall.
We will not put a casement where the sash opens across a path that people actually use. In some situations that is a code question and in every situation it is a common-sense one, and an awning or a slider is almost always the better answer in that particular opening. We will draw you the swing on the plan before anybody orders anything.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — insert assemblies set into a retained existing frame, sash packs with new jamb liners and balance shoes, constant-force coil balances in a double-hung frame, soft-coat low-E on the second surface for solar rejection, stainless warm-edge spacer in a dual-seal sealed unit, poured and debridged polyurethane thermal breaks in aluminium — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Raleigh and nearby communities including Cary, Apex, Wake Forest, Holly Springs.

Materials, equipment and how we do casement and awning windows
The difference between casement and awning windows that lasts and casement and awning windows that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with insert assemblies set into a retained existing frame, sash packs with new jamb liners and balance shoes, constant-force coil balances in a double-hung frame, soft-coat low-E on the second surface for solar rejection, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Raleigh job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of window work in Wake County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
