The windows in Newport News's homes
By age, 9% of Newport News's homes went up before 1950, 42% between 1950 and 1979, 31% between 1980 and 1999 and 17% in 2000 or later.
Half of them are older than 1979, which is the age of window you're most likely measuring here.
In Hampton, 12 miles away, 57% of homes are built before 1980, 6 points more than here.

Wide windows split into sections
37% of homes are apartments or condos, where windows are often wide. A wide opening is split into several panels joined by T-posts at the window's own mullions, so the shutter lines up with the glass behind it.
Measure each side three times
With 51% of homes built before 1980, openings that have shifted over the years are common. Measure the width at the top, middle and bottom and the height at the left, centre and right, then check both diagonals. If the diagonals differ by more than about ¼ in, a mounting frame covers the difference.
Inside or outside the opening
An inside mount sits within the window opening and looks built in, but it needs enough depth for the louvers to tilt. An outside mount fixes to the wall or casing around the window, which suits shallow openings and hides uneven edges. The designer asks which you want for each window.
How many windows a Newport News home has
The most common home in Newport News is a three-bedroom (39% of homes), and the most common kind is a detached house. Nationally, the middle detached house has 10 to 15 windows.
18% of homes have four bedrooms or more and 13% one or none, so most orders sit near the middle of that range. In Hampton, 12 miles away, 23% of homes have four bedrooms or more, more than here.
