Choosing the right window
Choosing the Right Window
With all the brands, materials and styles out there, deciding how to invest in the right window can be overwhelming. We try our best to ease the challenge by educating you on our products and materials. We have constructed and remodeled many homes throughout the Northeast. We understand what it takes to be part of your home, and want you to be confident about your decision.

Vinyl Windows
Watch out for windows with inferior "spiral-style" balances which require frequent adjustment and become more difficult to operate over time. We use only top-of-the-line block and tackle balances which never need adjustment and offer hassle-free fingertip operation.
As a homeowner, you take pride in your home, and appearance counts! Some companies use second-rate vinyl that causes an unattractive blue-ish tint. Use 100% virgin vinyl to ensure true white color.
Engineered to last, the windows we feature have thick wall, multi-chamber construction for unsurpassed strength to ensure a lifetime of performance. You are assured consistent quality in every window we sell and install for you.
Wood Windows
Baystate Building uses both wood and vinyl windows. For those that prefer wood, wood windows maintain the tradition and beauty of real wood on the interior while protecting the exterior against the harsh elements with aluminum cladding.
The Majesty line from Harvey offers a variety of style options for replacement or new construction applications. With four exterior colors (white, almond, dark bronze and forest green), two interior wood choices (pine and oak) and an array of grid and hardware options, you're sure to find something that will complement your home.
The exceptional beauty and quality of Majesty windows are available at an excellent value and are ENERGY STAR® qualified with our Low-E/Krypton gas-filled glazing system.
