Window Replacement, Siding & Sunrooms in Westwood, Chapel Hill NC
Over 40 years of local experience.
Westwood is an established residential neighborhood in Chapel Hill off Westwood Drive near the UNC campus in Orange County. The community features a mix of mid-century and later single-family homes on wooded lots, many owned by longtime Chapel Hill residents. Homes here range from post-war bungalows to properties built in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, a wide age range that means windows and siding are at different stages of their useful life depending on when the home was built or last updated.
We serve Westwood homeowners with custom window replacement, siding installation, and sunroom construction. Harland Windows & Siding has worked throughout Orange County for over 40 years.

Energy-Efficient Window Replacement
Older homes in Westwood may have single-pane windows, storm window combinations, or early double-pane units that have long since lost their insulating seal. Even homes with 1990s replacement windows are now looking at 30-year-old glass. Does the temperature near your windows feel noticeably different from the rest of the room? Are heating and cooling bills higher than they should be for your home's size? The windows are worth examining.
We install custom Heat Mirror high-efficiency windows. Every unit is manufactured to fit your existing rough opening, including the non-standard sizes that are common in mid-century and 1970s construction. We custom-measure every opening before the order is placed.
A homeowner in Westwood, Cathy R., had cracked and warped frames on the sun-facing side of the house. After we installed Heat Mirror windows, the new frames held up through the next summer without a single issue.
Homes in Westwood vary in age, and so does the condition of the windows in them. Homes in Booker Creek tend to be a different age, so the windows there may be at a different point in their lifespan. Either way, an in-home look tells us exactly where things stand.
Not sure if your windows need replacing? Watch for these signs:
- You feel a draft near the windows even when they are shut tight.
- Condensation builds up on the inside of the glass in cold weather.
- Windows are difficult to lift, lower, or latch.
- Outside sounds seem louder than they used to.
- Frames feel cold or damp to the touch.
- Your energy bills have gone up with no change in your habits.
"Replacement done quickly by an efficient team. Cleanup was excellent."

Siding Installation & Replacement
Westwood's wooded lots and mature canopy create the same moisture challenges found throughout Chapel Hill's older neighborhoods. Shaded elevations stay damp longer after rain, which accelerates wear at siding joints and around window and door trim. On homes with wood siding, this means paint failure, soft spots, and eventually rot in the underlying framing if not addressed.
We remove deteriorated material completely, inspect the sheathing and framing for damage, repair what we find, and install new siding that handles the wooded environment better than what was there.
Not sure if your siding needs replacing? Watch for these signs:
- Siding shows visible cracking or buckling along the seams.
- Caulk lines have separated around windows and corners.
- Soft or spongy spots appear near the bottom of the wall.
- Color looks faded or chalky compared to when it was installed.
- Moisture or staining shows up on interior walls near exterior corners.
- Panels rattle or feel loose in the wind.
Sunroom Construction & Conversions
Westwood's wooded lots and proximity to Chapel Hill's trail network make outdoor living a natural fit. Many homes in the neighborhood have older screened porches or covered areas that could be significantly more usable with a proper enclosure. A sunroom adds functional space while keeping the connection to the yard and tree canopy.
We build EzeBreeze sunrooms using PGT Industries' sliding vinyl panel system for three-season use. For year-round comfort, we build fully enclosed sunrooms with insulated walls and Heat Mirror glass.

Frequently Asked Questions
My Westwood home was built in 1968 and still has the original windows. What should I expect?
Windows from 1968 are nearly 60 years old. Whether they're single-pane originals or have been replaced at some point, the thermal performance is minimal by current standards. We'll assess each window during the estimate, some older homes have had windows replaced in phases, and we'll give you a clear picture of what's there and what makes sense to address.
Can you work with wood siding on an older Chapel Hill home?
Yes. We assess wood siding, identify what needs repair versus replacement, and discuss material options during the estimate. Fiber cement is a popular choice for older homes in wooded settings. It holds paint well, doesn't rot, and can be profiled to match the look of traditional lap siding.
How long does a window replacement project take start to finish?
There are two phases: the lead time while windows are custom-fabricated after the order is placed, and the installation itself. Installation for a typical single-family home takes one to two days. We give you the full timeline during the estimate so you can plan accordingly.
Do you offer free estimates in Westwood?
Yes. We come to your home, take measurements, and give you a written estimate at no cost. Call (919) 851-0060 or request online to schedule a visit.
