Marietta Window Replacement provides professional wood & clad windows in Marietta, GA for residential and commercial properties across Cobb County and northwest metro Atlanta. Clad wood is a wood window wearing a metal coat. The interior is the material people buy it for, and the exterior cladding is the part that decides whether it survives twenty Georgia summers on the wall you put it on.
There are two ways manufacturers make that coat. Roll-formed aluminum is thin sheet bent around the sash, with seams at the corners. Extruded aluminum is a thicker profile with a heavier factory finish and mitered, sealed corners. On a north or east elevation under Cobb County's hardwood canopy, where a wall can stay damp for days after a rain because it never sees direct sun, the seam quality is the whole story.
That shaded-and-damp condition is the one we watch for in this county, and it is not the one most people expect. Homeowners worry about the blazing west wall. The west wall dries in an hour. It is the wall under the oaks, with a gutter that overshoots and a foundation shrub against the siding, that rots a sill. Walk that elevation after a rain before you order anything.
So the specification we write for clad wood here is narrow: extruded cladding, a factory finish rather than a field-applied one, a sloped and drained sill, and a preservative-treated wood substrate. Anything less and you have bought a maintenance schedule.
Interior finish is where the money shows. Pine that takes stain, or an upgrade to douglas fir, mahogany or white oak, with a putty-glazed profile or a true divided lite if the sash is visible from the street. Simulated divided lites, which pair applied grilles outside with a bar inside the sealed unit, read almost the same from the sidewalk and leave the glass package whole, which is what we usually recommend.
We argue against clad wood in two situations. One is any property you do not occupy yourself, because the finish schedule needs someone who will notice a blistered corner in year six. The other is a whole-house replacement where the budget forces you to choose between clad wood and correct flashing. Flashing wins.
Where it earns the premium is the older housing near the middle of town, where a vinyl sash on the front elevation would be visible from the street and wrong, and where the sightline of the original sash is part of what the house is. Those are worth doing properly, one elevation at a time if that is what the budget allows.
Our habit on these jobs is to do the street-facing openings in clad wood and the back of the house in something plainer. Nobody sees the rear elevation, the performance numbers are identical, and the money you save covers the flashing detail that keeps the front ones alive. Clients who have done it the other way around usually regret which half they spent on.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — compression gasket, interlocking meeting stile, fusion-welded corners, pultruded fiberglass, warm-edge spacer, polyamide thermal break — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Marietta and nearby communities including Smyrna, Kennesaw, Acworth, Powder Springs.

Materials, equipment and how we do wood & clad windows
The difference between wood & clad windows that lasts and wood & clad windows that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with compression gasket, interlocking meeting stile, fusion-welded corners, pultruded fiberglass, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Marietta job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of window work in Cobb County and northwest metro Atlanta means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Marietta Chooses Marietta Window Replacement
- ✓We put the air-leakage rating at the top of the quote. In a county with a short winter and a long humid summer, the gasket is the only specification that returns something in both seasons.
- ✓We measure the clear opening in every bedroom before quoting. On the wide, short openings of Marietta's 1960s ranches, an insert can drop the escape opening below the code minimum without anyone noticing.
- ✓We flash behind the brick. On veneer houses the head flashing has to lap the water-resistive barrier rather than get caulked to the first course, and we will tell you if the brick will not allow it.
- ✓We price the smaller job when the smaller job is right. Fogged sealed units get reglazed, dragging patio doors get rollers, and tired entry doors often get a weatherstrip kit rather than a new slab.
