Local homes
What does the village's historic district mean for your windows?
The Village of Pittsford says its Historic and Architectural Design District, set up in 1971, includes the entire village. Its Historic Preservation Board reviews building materials, siding and types of windows, among other features, and the village says plans for many changes must go to the Board in advance.
Outside the village, the Town of Pittsford's Design Review & Historic Preservation Board designates historic landmarks. For a designated property, the town says street-visible changes such as adding a window need a Certificate of Appropriateness.
Weather & exposure
How does Pittsford's canal-side setting affect window choices?
Pittsford shares the same Great Lakes winter as the rest of Monroe County, with lake-effect snow and long cold stretches. Potomac HP's VyFoam R5 frame and magnetic seal give the most protection we offer.
Which window fits
Which line do we recommend for Pittsford homes?
In the village, Potomac HP is usually the better starting point, because its laminates, grid patterns and color range give you more to work with when the look is under review. On a newer home in the town that isn't a landmark, Endure is a capable, efficient window at a lower cost.
Permits & approvals
Which Pittsford board or office reviews a window project?
In the village, start with the Village Office and its building inspector, who can tell you whether your window change goes to the Historic Preservation Board. In the town, a designated landmark goes through the Design Review & Historic Preservation Board.
Tall Pines confirms building-permit needs and any historic review with the right office, village or town, before work starts. We won't place an order until we know what approval your project needs.

Local answers
Pittsford window questions
Is every house in the Village of Pittsford in the historic district?
Yes. The village says its historic district includes the entire village, so any exterior window change is worth checking with the Village Office first.
Can I use vinyl windows in the village?
That's a decision for the village's review process, not for us. We'll show you options that suit the house and help you prepare what the Board asks to see.
My house is in the Town of Pittsford, not the village. Do the same rules apply?
No. The village and town have separate boards. In the town, extra review applies to designated landmarks; otherwise the normal building rules apply.
