Window installation in Whitehall Township
Whitehall Township borders Allentown to the north, and its houses are mostly suburban and mid-century.
The township
Whitehall Township is in Lehigh County, along the Lehigh River north of Allentown, and is home to the Lehigh Valley Mall. Much of its housing was built in the twentieth century, including ranch houses, split-levels and rows of twins, and many of the original windows have already been replaced at least once.
What that means for installers
- Easier access
- Driveways and yards make delivery and staging easier than in the city.
- Mixed window types
- Aluminum sliders, older vinyl and wood double-hungs are all found here, each with different removal and sealing needs.
- Township codes
- Permits are handled by the township, not the City of Allentown. Confirm which applies.
Typical projects
- Replacing aluminum sliders with double-hung units.
- Replacing a large picture window.
- Matching new windows on an addition.
- Replacing failed double-pane units.
Check before you buy
Ask about the warranty on sealed units and whether the installer handles removal and disposal. For houses built before 1978, ask for lead-safe practices and confirm the contract states them.
