ServicesWindow Replacement
Window Replacement in Normandy Park
We pull out old, drafty windows and fit new ones that seal tight and hold heat. Rooms stay warmer near the glass, and your furnace gets a break. A typical install wraps up in one day, with the floors swept and the old units hauled off before we go.
When New Windows Make Sense
A window is a hole in your wall with glass in it. When the seals fail or the frame warps, cold air and damp come through, and the heat you paid for goes out. New windows close that gap.
Not every problem needs a full replacement. A sticky sash or a broken lock is often a simple fix, and our window repair work covers that. We tell you which one you need. If the frames are rotted, the glass has fogged on several units, or you still have single-pane aluminum windows, replacing them is usually the better use of your money.
The energy side is real, but we keep it honest. New windows will not cut your bill in half. They do stop drafts, cut condensation and make the room by the window comfortable to sit in on a gray January morning.
What the Job Includes
- Measuring every opening
- We measure each window by hand, not off a chart. Older openings are rarely square, and a unit built to the real size seals better.
- Glass picked for comfort
- We go over double- and triple-pane options with low-E coatings and gas fill. We explain what each one does for heat loss and noise, so you choose what fits your home and budget.
- Careful removal
- Old sashes and frames come out without tearing up your trim or siding. If we find soft or rotted wood underneath, we show you before we go further.
- Sealing and flashing
- We fill the gap around the frame with low-expansion foam, then flash and caulk the outside. That is where most leaks and drafts start, so we take our time there.
- Cleanup and haul-away
- Drop cloths go down inside. Old windows, glass and packing leave with us.
- Glass break warranty
- The windows we install come with a glass break warranty. We walk you through it when we give your quote.
Signs Your Windows Are Due
Fog between the panes
Moisture trapped inside double-pane glass means the seal has failed. The gas fill is gone, and the window no longer insulates the way it should.
Cold air near the glass
Hold your hand by the frame on a windy day. If you feel a draft, heat is leaking out there all winter.
Water on the sills
Some condensation is normal in a damp climate. Puddles every morning, or black spots on the sill, point to cold frames and poor seals.
Soft or rotted frames
Press a screwdriver into a wood frame. If it sinks in, the rot is past patching.
Sashes that stick or won't lock
One stuck window can be repaired. When most of them fight you, the frames have likely moved for good.
What Moves the Price
Every house is different, so we price the job after we have seen your windows in person. The written quote lists each window on its own line, with the cost for that opening next to it. If paying all at once is a stretch, ask about our flexible payment options when we talk it over.
Number and size of windows
More openings and larger ones take more material and more hours. Doing several at once usually costs less per window than doing them a few at a time.
Frame and glass choice
Vinyl, fiberglass and wood-clad frames each come in at a different cost. Triple-pane glass costs more than double-pane, but it keeps more heat inside.
Condition under the old frame
Soft or rotted wood in the sill or framing has to be fixed first, or the new unit will not seal right. If we find any, we photograph it and show you before doing more work.
Changing the opening
Swapping a slider for a casement in the same size opening is simple. Making an opening wider means framing work and usually a permit, and we pull it for you.
Access
Upstairs windows over a deck or a steep slope take more ladder and staging time.

Window Replacement Questions
How long does it take to replace the windows in my house?
Most installs are finished in a single day. A large house or a lot of rot repair can push it to a second day. We tell you up front which to expect.
Will new windows really lower my heating bill?
They help, but how much depends on what you have now. Going from single-pane aluminum to modern low-E glass makes a big difference. Going from decent double-pane to new double-pane makes less, and we will tell you that.
Can you replace windows in the winter?
Yes. We swap one opening at a time and seal it before moving on, so each room is only open for a short while. Rain days just mean more tarps.
Should I repair my windows instead?
If it is one bad lock, a torn screen or a single cracked pane in a good frame, repair is often the smarter move. If seals have failed on many units or the frames are rotting, replacement makes more sense. We give you a straight answer either way.
What warranty comes with the new windows?
The windows we install come with a glass break warranty. We go over exactly what it covers when we give you your quote, so you know before you decide.
