Paradigm Premium Vinyl Windows
Installed by Rhody Ridge Roofing
Paradigm has been manufacturing premium vinyl windows in Portland, Maine since 1981 — custom-made for each project, tested in Northeast climates, and backed by a Lifetime Warranty. Rhody Ridge Roofing installs their full product line across Rhode Island.
Premium Vinyl Windows Built for the Northeast — Installed by Rhody Ridge
Paradigm Window Solutions has been building and distributing custom vinyl windows throughout the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest since 1981. Their Portland, Maine operation means every product is engineered with Rhode Island's climate in mind — freeze-thaw cycles, coastal humidity, and the sustained wind loads that generic big-box window products simply aren't built to handle.
Every Paradigm window is custom-made to your exact project specifications. There are no off-the-shelf sizes — your window is manufactured to fit your opening precisely, which is why installation quality and accurate measurement matter so much.
Rhody Ridge Roofing works with Paradigm's complete product line, covering both the 5-Series standard and 8-Series premium offerings, and we install them with the same attention to flashing, sealing, and trim detail that we bring to every roofing and siding project.
Two Series. Every Budget. Same Quality Manufacturing.

Paradigm Window Styles We Install
Paradigm's complete line covers every residential window type — from standard single hung to bay and bow configurations. All available in both 5-Series and 8-Series.
Double Hung Windows
Both top and bottom sashes operate independently. Paradigm double hung windows tilt inward on both sashes for easy inside cleaning — a practical feature for second-floor and hard-to-reach installations.

Single Hung Windows
Fixed top sash, operating bottom sash. A cost-effective option that suits traditional Rhode Island home styles and rooms where full-range ventilation isn't a priority.
View on Paradigm.com →
Casement Windows
Side-hinged and cranked open outward. Casements form a complete seal when closed — among the most energy-efficient operating window styles, and excellent for capturing cross-breezes.

Awning Windows
Hinged at the top and opening outward from the bottom. Awning windows allow ventilation even during light rain — useful for kitchens, bathrooms, and basement openings.

Slider Windows
Sashes slide horizontally — ideal for rooms with limited exterior clearance. A clean, modern look that works well in contemporary home designs and basement applications.

Picture Windows
Fixed, non-operating windows designed to maximize view and natural light. No hardware to fail, no weatherstripping to degrade — picture windows stay draft-free for their entire lifespan.

Hopper Windows
An awning window in reverse — hinged at the bottom and opening inward from the top. Commonly used in basements, utility rooms, and small openings where ventilation is needed without full outward swing.

Bay & Bow Windows
Projecting outward from the exterior wall, bay and bow windows create interior alcove space and a strong architectural statement. Often installed in living rooms, reading nooks, and dining areas.

Specialty / Custom Shapes
Half-rounds, quarter-rounds, octagons, and other geometric shapes to add architectural interest. Custom-manufactured by Paradigm to match your design intent exactly.

Sliding Patio Doors
Paradigm's sliding door line brings the same premium vinyl construction and energy-efficient glass packages to patio and deck access points — with the same Lifetime Warranty coverage as their windows.

Paradigm isn't a retail window brand. Their products are manufactured for professional installation, custom-made to order, and designed with the Northeast's actual climate demands in mind.
Built in the Northeast
Paradigm manufactures in Portland, Maine — meaning their engineering and testing accounts for the same freeze-thaw cycles, coastal humidity, and wind exposure that Rhode Island homes face. These aren't generic designs adapted from warmer markets.
Custom-Made, Every Time
Every Paradigm window is manufactured to your exact opening dimensions. There are no standard sizes cut down to fit — your window is built precisely, which reduces drafts, improves thermal performance, and eliminates shimming hacks that weaken the installation over time.
Energy Star® Rated
Both the 5-Series and 8-Series meet Energy Star® compliance standards. This matters for Rhode Island homeowners looking to reduce heating and cooling loads — particularly on homes with older single-pane windows or failed double-pane seals.
Lifetime Materials Warranty
Paradigm backs their product with a Lifetime Materials Warranty including five years of labor coverage. That's not a limited term or prorated schedule — it's genuine long-term protection on the product and its installation.
Meaningful Customization
The 8-Series offers hardware colors, exterior trim profiles, glass packages, and interior finish options that let a window match the architectural character of a home — not just fill a hole in the wall. Rhode Island's varied housing stock benefits from this flexibility.
Dealer-Trained Installation
Paradigm's business model is built on professional installation through trained contractors, not retail DIY. Rhody Ridge Roofing installs Paradigm windows as part of our broader exterior expertise — ensuring the product performs as designed, not just as marketed.
Paradigm Windows + Rhody Ridge Installation
A great window installed poorly performs no better than a mediocre one done right. Here's what we bring to every Paradigm installation.
Full Exterior Context
Window replacement intersects with siding, trim, flashing, and sometimes roofing. Because we work across all of these systems, we identify related issues other window-only installers miss — and resolve them in the same project without a separate crew.
Precision Installation
Paradigm windows are custom-made to your opening, but installation still requires experienced hands. We measure precisely, flash the rough opening correctly, set each unit plumb and level, and seal everything before trim work begins.
Transparent Quoting
Our estimates break down product, labor, trim, and disposal line by line. You see what you're paying for before any work starts. Our invoices match our quotes.
Double Warranty Coverage
Paradigm's Lifetime Materials Warranty protects the product. Our workmanship guarantee covers the installation. Your investment is protected at both levels — not just one.
