Window installations built for Ipswich’s coastal climate. Complete weatherproofing, PVC trim systems, and moisture protection details that most contractors skip. Google Guaranteed with 150+ five-star reviews.






Ipswich sits right on the coast, and that salt air takes a toll on every part of your home’s exterior — especially around window openings. Older homes along High Street, in the historic district, and near Crane Beach often have original wood windows with deteriorated frames, failed seals, and trim that’s soft to the touch. Replacing the window unit alone doesn’t solve the problem if the weatherproofing, trim, and moisture protection aren’t done right at the same time. D&G Exteriors treats every window replacement as a full exterior upgrade — not just a product swap.

Posted on Curtis MatthewsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our house in Danvers needed new siding and trim, and this was not an easy project. There were surprises once the old siding came off, but John walked us through everything calmly and professionally. The final result looks incredible and feels built to last.Posted on Joshua DixTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional operation. Clear contract, good communication, and high-quality work. Our new roof looks great and the flashing details are far better than what we had before.Posted on Imani YussifTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We live right on the ocean in Gloucester, and the weather absolutely beats up our house — constant wind, salt spray, storms rolling in off the water. After years of patching things, we finally decided to hire D&G Exteriors for a full roof replacement and some badly needed trim repairs. I’m so glad we did. Working on a house this close to the shoreline is no simple job. The crew had to deal with strong winds almost every day, and once they pulled the old shingles off, we found sections of the roof deck that were softened from years of salt exposure. John didn’t overreact or try to turn it into a huge problem — he showed us the damage, explained what needed to be replaced, and kept everything straightforward and fair. Despite the tough conditions, the team worked cleanly and efficiently. You could tell they were used to handling challenging environments. They installed new CertainTeed shingles, repaired the compromised areas, and replaced all the rotten fascia and trim with PVC so we won’t have to worry about it again. The house looks incredible now — sharper lines, cleaner edges, and a roof that finally feels like it can handle a real coastal storm. The best part was how professional the whole process was. They kept the site tidy even with the wind constantly blowing debris around, communicated every day, and never left us guessing about what was happening next. If you live anywhere near the water and need roofing or exterior work, D&G Exteriors is absolutely the company you want. Five stars, without hesitation.Posted on brian haskinsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’re in Ipswich, and hired D&G Exteriors to replace our roof and correct a long-standing issue around a valley that had leaked during heavy rain for years. Previous repairs never fully solved it. John identified the problem immediately, reworked the flashing detail, and rebuilt that section properly instead of just patching it again. Since the replacement, we’ve been through multiple hard storms with zero issues. The roof looks great, but more importantly, the problem is finally gone. Very happy with the work and the attention to detail.
Many Ipswich homes — from the Federal-era colonials downtown to mid-century capes near the marshes — are running on windows that are 30 to 50 years old. Single-pane glass, failed double-pane seals, and rotted wood frames are common across town. Whether you need one window replaced or a whole-house upgrade, we bring the same attention to weatherproofing, insulation, and finish detail on every opening.

Window replacement costs depend on window type, frame material, glass package, and the condition of your existing openings. A standard double-hung vinyl replacement typically runs $800–$1,200 per window installed, while premium fiberglass or wood windows with full-frame replacement and PVC trim can range from $1,500–$3,000+ per opening. We provide detailed quotes after an in-person inspection — no ballpark pricing over the phone.
It depends on your existing frames. If the wood is rotted, water-damaged, or out of square — which is common in Ipswich’s older coastal homes — full-frame replacement is the right call. It lets us fully weatherproof the opening, insulate the cavity, and build on a solid foundation. If your frames are still solid and square, insert windows can save cost while still delivering a major performance upgrade. We’ll inspect and recommend the best approach for your situation.
We work with several premium manufacturers and aren’t locked into any single brand. This lets us recommend the right product for your home, budget, and performance goals — not just whatever earns the highest margin. During your consultation, we’ll walk through the options and explain the trade-offs clearly.
Not always, but in Ipswich’s coastal environment, we often recommend it. Wood trim near the ocean deteriorates faster than inland — salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and moisture exposure take their toll. If your trim is soft, cracked, or pulling away from the wall, it’s smarter to replace it with PVC during the window project than to come back and address it later. We’ll assess your trim condition during the inspection.
Most whole-home window projects take 2–5 days depending on the number of openings and scope of work. A single window can often be completed in a few hours. Full-frame replacements with exterior trim work take longer than insert replacements. We’ll give you a clear timeline in your proposal and keep you informed throughout.
Significantly — especially if you’re replacing single-pane or early double-pane windows, which are common in Ipswich’s older housing stock. Modern low-E glass with argon fills can cut heat loss through windows by 30–50%. We also insulate the cavity and properly seal every installation, which eliminates the drafts older windows are known for. Most homeowners notice improved comfort immediately.
