13-Window Replacement Project in Springboro, Ohio
See how Valicor Windows & Doors replaced 13 aging windows in this Springboro home while preserving its traditional Musket Brown exterior and creating a dramatically brighter white interior.
Updating the Windows Without Changing the Character of the Home
This Springboro home, built in the 1980s, still had its original mix of older vinyl and aluminum double-hung windows. After decades of service, the homeowners were beginning to experience several common signs of aging windows.
Some seals had failed, frames had faded, drafts were noticeable and several windows had become increasingly difficult to operate.
But replacing the windows wasn't simply about correcting performance issues. The homeowners also wanted to preserve the traditional exterior appearance of the home.
The solution was a two-tone design: Musket Brown on the exterior and white on the interior.
13-Window Springboro Project at a Glance
Aging Windows Were Affecting Both Performance and Appearance
The original windows had been in the home for decades. By the time the homeowners contacted Valicor, several problems had become noticeable.
- Broken window seals
- Faded and discolored frames
- Noticeable drafts
- Windows becoming difficult to open and close
- Dark interior frames that reduced the room's brightness
The goal wasn't to completely change the look of the house. It was to update the windows while preserving the exterior character the homeowners already liked.
Preserve the Outside. Transform the Inside.
The home's existing exterior featured dark brown window frames that worked naturally with the brick, siding, shutters and trim.
Instead of changing that overall exterior appearance, Musket Brown replacement windows maintained the darker traditional look.
Inside, however, the homeowners went in a completely different direction by choosing white.
The Interior Transformation
One of the most noticeable changes in this project happened inside the home. The old dark frames were replaced with bright white interiors while retaining grids that fit the home's traditional style.
Dark Interior Window Frames
The original dark frames absorbed visual attention and contributed to a darker appearance inside the room.
Bright White Interior Finish
The new white interiors create a brighter, cleaner appearance while the grids preserve the traditional character of the room.
“I can't believe how much brighter it is.”
— Homeowner reaction after the window replacementWhy Use Musket Brown Outside and White Inside?
Replacement windows don't necessarily need to be the same color on both sides.
For this home, the Musket Brown exterior works with the existing brick, siding, shutters and trim. That allowed the homeowners to update the windows without dramatically changing the exterior character of the house.
Inside, white creates a much different effect. The lighter frames visually blend with the interior trim and help the rooms feel cleaner and brighter.
This project is a good example of how interior and exterior window colors can solve two different design goals at the same time.
What Was Included in the Replacement Windows?
Appearance was important, but the project also addressed comfort, operation and energy performance.
Low-E Glass
Energy-efficient Low-E glass helps manage heat transfer through the glass while still allowing natural light into the home.
Insulated Frames & Sashes
The replacement windows included insulation throughout the frame and sash as part of the complete window system.
Removable Flexible Screens
Flexible removable screens make it easier to remove and reinstall the screens when needed while maintaining a clean finished appearance.
Matching Grids
Grid patterns were used throughout the project to preserve the traditional architectural appearance of the home.
Double-Hung Operation
All 13 replacement windows use a double-hung configuration with operable upper and lower sashes.
Professional Installation
Each opening was prepared and the replacement windows were installed, adjusted, insulated and sealed by the Valicor installation team.
Maintaining the Traditional Exterior Appearance
From the exterior, the goal wasn't to make the windows stand out as something completely different. The Musket Brown finish allows the new windows to work naturally with the existing home.
Original Windows
The original dark windows had aged over decades and showed varying levels of fading and deterioration.
New Musket Brown Windows
The darker exterior finish preserves the home's established color palette while providing a clean, consistent appearance.
How the 13 Windows Were Replaced

New windows were positioned, secured, insulated, sealed and adjusted for proper operation.
Inspect & Clean
The windows were checked for operation and appearance before final cleanup and project completion.

13 New Windows Without Losing the Home's Character
The completed project demonstrates that replacing older windows doesn't require completely changing the architectural appearance of a home.
From the street, the Musket Brown exterior keeps the darker traditional window appearance that works naturally with the brick, siding and shutters.
Inside, the white finish creates a dramatically different experience—cleaner lines, a brighter appearance and a more updated feel.
At the same time, the homeowners addressed the broken seals, drafts and difficult operation they had been experiencing with the older windows.
Your Interior and Exterior Window Colors Don't Have to Match
This is one of the most useful lessons from this Springboro project.
Some homeowners assume that choosing a dark exterior window means they also need dark window frames inside the home. That's not necessarily the case.
Different interior and exterior finishes can allow you to coordinate the outside of the window with the home's exterior while selecting an interior color that works better with your walls, trim and overall design.
Look at Performance and Condition, Not Just Age
Age alone doesn't determine whether a window needs to be replaced. Instead, look at how the existing windows are performing.
- Are seals failing?
- Are the windows difficult to operate?
- Do you notice drafts?
- Are frames faded or deteriorated?
- Do the windows no longer fit the look you want?
Those factors provide a better starting point for deciding whether replacement makes sense.
Considering Several Replacement Windows at Once?
Multi-window projects can represent a significant home improvement investment. Financing options are available for qualified homeowners who would prefer to spread eligible project costs over time.
Financing may also allow some homeowners to complete a larger portion of their window project at once instead of dividing the work into several separate phases.
