35 White Windows Swapped for Black on This Lake Norman Home

This Lake Norman home had 35 white windows - and while they weren't falling apart, they were making the house look dated. The homeowner wanted something sharper, more current. So we replaced every single one with clean black frames, and the difference is night and day.

Black windows on brick are having a real moment right now, and it's easy to see why. The contrast works. The warm red brick pops against the dark frames in a way that white frames just never could. Every elevation of this house looks more intentional now - like it was designed that way from the start.

But here's what a lot of homeowners don't think about until after the install: new windows aren't just a cosmetic upgrade. Older windows lose their seal over time. They let heat in during the summer, cold in during the winter, and they make your HVAC work harder than it should. Replacing them tightens up the whole house - you feel it inside, not just from the street.

A job this size takes real coordination. Thirty-five windows across multiple floors, multiple elevations, including second-story work. Getting every unit set level, sealed properly, and finished clean on a house this large is no small thing. That's the kind of window replacement work we do every day.

Whether you've got a handful of problem windows or you're looking at a full replacement like this one, the process starts the same way - figuring out what you actually need and making sure the product fits the house. We've done enough of these to know how to get it right.
