Why Chesterfield Homeowners Choose Forshaw
Products That Match Your Home
Chesterfield’s housing ranges from mid-century ranches to luxury estates. Marvin’s lineup covers all of it—from the fully custom Ultimate collection for high-end properties to the fiberglass Elevate that’s ideal for whole-home projects in typical subdivisions.
One Company, Start to Finish
We manage your project from the first consultation through the final walkthrough. No separate subcontractor crew. One company, one bill, one point of contact.
We Do Both Full-Frame and Insert
Many Chesterfield homes need full-frame replacement—removing the entire old window assembly so hidden problems can be found and fixed. But some don’t. We assess your frames on-site, recommend the right approach, and price both options when both are viable.
Transparent Pricing
Detailed, itemized estimates. No inflated quotes, no “sign-tonight” discounts, no hidden fees. If you’ve received a quote from another company, bring it in.
A Showroom Worth Visiting
Our St. Louis showroom features operable Marvin windows and doors in real-world settings. Chesterfield is a short drive away.
150+ Years in St. Louis
Forshaw has been a family-owned business since 1871. Five generations of quality standards, now applied to the window market as an exclusive Marvin dealer.

Signs Your Chesterfield Home Needs New Windows
Not sure if it’s time? Here are the most common signals homeowners notice:
Fog or Condensation Between the Panes
When moisture appears trapped between glass layers, the insulating seal has failed. Energy performance is compromised, and cleaning won’t fix it.
Drafts Even When Windows Are Closed
Cold air near the windows in winter—or warm air in summer—even when everything is shut and locked. Especially common in homes with original wood frames that have been through decades of Missouri’s freeze-thaw cycles.
Difficulty Opening, Closing, or Locking
Windows that stick, won’t stay open, or don’t latch properly. This is more than an inconvenience—it’s a sign that the frame has shifted or warped enough to affect operation.
Visible Rot or Soft Spots
Soft spots in wooden frames, peeling paint that keeps coming back, or water staining around the window. These signs mean moisture has gotten behind the window, and an insert won’t solve the underlying problem.
Rising Energy Bills
Older single-pane or failed double-pane windows are a major source of energy loss—particularly in homes that predate modern energy standards.

What We Typically Recommend by Neighborhood
Chesterfield has a range of home styles and ages—what’s right for one part of town isn’t necessarily what works for another. Here’s what we typically see and recommend:
| Your Part of Town | What We Typically See | What We Recommend |
| Wild Horse Creek / Baxter Rd area | Luxury custom estates, often $1M+. Architectural detailing matters. | Full-frame with Marvin Ultimate. True divided lights, custom sizing, 20-year finish. |
| 1970s–1980s subdivisions | Ranch, colonial, and traditional homes. 30–50 year old wood or vinyl windows with failed seals and drafts. | Full-frame with Elevate for most. Fiberglass durability, wood interior, strong value for whole-home projects. |
| 1990s developments | Newer traditionals and colonials. Some builder-grade vinyl windows already showing age. | Full-frame or insert depending on frame condition. Elevate or Essential. |
| Post-2000 / new construction | Generally newer windows but some homeowners upgrade from builder-grade glass. | Insert or upgrade. Essential or Elevate. We also work with builders on new specifications. |
Every home is different. This table is a starting point—the real recommendation comes from our free on-site assessment of your specific windows and frames.

Energy Efficiency Worth Noting
The majority of Chesterfield’s homes were built between 1970 and 1999, often with windows that predate modern energy standards. If you still have original double-pane windows with failed seals, replacing them with modern Marvin windows—featuring low-E glass, insulating gas fills, and fiberglass or wood-clad frames—can make a noticeable difference in comfort and energy costs. Full-frame replacement compounds the improvement by replacing the insulation and weatherproofing behind each window.
About Window Replacement in Chesterfield
Chesterfield wasn’t incorporated as a city until 1988, but the area’s housing tells a longer story. The bulk of homes were built between 1970 and 1999—colonials, new traditionals, and ranch-style houses that define much of West County. Another roughly 14% dates to the 1940s through 1960s, with active new construction continuing in developments like Wildhorse Village and Schaeffer’s Grove. That range means there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to window replacement here—the right product and method depend on the age, condition, and architectural style of your specific home.
