Auburn was formed in 1778 from corners of Worcester, Sutton, Leicester and Oxford. It was first named Ward, after General Artemas Ward, and took the name Auburn in 1837. In 1926 Robert Goddard launched the first liquid-fueled rocket from a farm on Pakachoag Hill, and Goddard Memorial Park still marks the spot. In the 1900s Auburn grew into a streetcar and then car-commuter suburb of Worcester, and today the Mass Pike, Route 290 and Route 395 all meet here. That history shows in the houses: older farmhouses and village homes in Auburn Center, Stoneville and Pondville, and street after street of capes, ranches and split-levels built as the suburbs filled in.
Castle “The Window People” replaces windows and doors in every part of Auburn. We measure each opening, recommend what fits your home and budget, and handle the install with our dedicated install crew. Every job is backed by the Castle Lifetime Guarantee.
Why Auburn Homeowners Replace Their Windows
Many Auburn homes are on their second or third round of windows, and the earlier replacements are wearing out. We see fogged glass where the seals have failed, sashes that won’t stay up, locks that don’t pull the window tight, and frames that let cold air in all winter. In the older village homes, original windows are often painted shut or rattle in their frames, with loose storm windows on the outside.
Central Massachusetts winters are long and cold, so those drafts add up. New vinyl windows with insulated glass and tight seals help keep the heat in, cut down on drafts and condensation, and open and lock smoothly. ENERGY STAR certified options are available, depending on the package you choose.
Window Styles for Auburn Homes
We install vinyl windows only, with ENERGY STAR certified options available depending on the package you choose. Popular choices in Auburn include:
- Double-hung windows, the go-to replacement for capes, colonials and older village homes.
- Sliding windows, a natural fit for ranches and wide, low openings.
- Awning and hopper windows, for the lower level of a split-level, basements and bathrooms.
- Casement windows, which crank open and seal tight, great over a kitchen sink.
- Bay and bow windows, to open up a front living room.
Every window comes in the color and grid pattern that suits your house, inside and out. Double or triple pane glass is available, and obscure (privacy) glass is an option for bathrooms.
Doors for Auburn Homes
We also replace doors: new entry doors, patio sliding doors out to the deck or back yard, and storm doors that protect your main door. Each door is measured to its opening and installed with fresh weatherstripping and a tight threshold, so it closes cleanly and keeps the weather out.
How We Install
It starts with a free in-home estimate. We measure every opening and walk you through your options with no pressure. Most of our work is insert replacement, where the new window fits inside the existing frame and your interior and exterior trim stays in place. If an old frame is rotted or damaged, we’ll recommend full-frame installation for that opening. Our dedicated install crew protects your home, hauls away the old windows, and cleans up before we leave. Most homes are finished in one day.

Auburn Window Replacement FAQ
My split-level has different window sizes on every level. Can you match them?
Yes. We measure every opening on its own, so the upper level, the lower level and the basement each get windows sized to fit. You can keep the same color and grid pattern across the whole house so it looks uniform from the street.
Can I replace just a few windows now and the rest later?
Yes. Some homeowners start with the worst windows or one side of the house, then do the rest later in the same color and style so everything matches.
Do you replace sliding patio doors?
Yes. We replace patio sliding doors, along with entry doors and storm doors, measured to the opening and installed with fresh weatherstripping.
Will my price change after I sign?
No. Once you sign, your price is locked in, except in extreme circumstances. Plan on about 4 to 6 weeks from order to install, and most installs are finished in one day.
