For more than two decades, our team has worked on homes across San Francisco and surrounding cities.

Every project is handled by our own installers. We don’t bring in subcontractors or outside crews.

Proud Milgard®
Certified Dealer

Bay Area homes deal with conditions that wear windows down over time - coastal salt air, marine layer moisture, temperature swings between fog and heat. Milgard® products are built with the West Coast climate in mind, which is one reason we've worked with them for over two decades.

As a Certified Dealer, we install genuine Milgard® products to manufacturer-approved standards. That matters for two reasons: the installation is done right, and your warranty stays intact. A window installed incorrectly can void coverage, even on a quality product.

During the estimate, we'll walk through the available lines - vinyl, fiberglass, and aluminum - and help you choose what fits the home, the opening, and the budget. No hard sell, just the relevant information.

How Our Window Replacement Process Works

01

Free In-Home Estimate


The first step is a free estimate window replacement consultation at your home. We take measurements, look at the existing window frames, and talk through the goals for the project. Homeowners often start by searching for a window estimate near me, and this visit is meant to answer questions without pressure or obligation.

02

Personalized Recommendation


After the inspection, we review window options that match the home’s structure and the homeowner’s priorities. Material choices such as vinyl, fiberglass, or aluminum are discussed in practical terms. We also explain energy performance, frame styles, and budget considerations so the final selection makes sense for the house.

03

Professional Installation


Once the windows are ready, our in-house crew completes the professional window installation. Because the same team handles the project from start to finish, the work stays organized and efficient. These installations are completed by expert window installation professionals in the area who focus on careful fitting and clean work.

04

Post-Installation Support


After installation, we check the windows, confirm proper operation, and review warranty details with the homeowner. If questions come up later, our team remains available to help. Proper support after the project is just as important as the installation itself.

Frequently Asked Questions About Window Replacement in the Bay Area

Most homeowners across the Bay Area pay between $600 and $1,500 per window installed, depending on size, frame material, and how complex the installation is. Vinyl double-pane replacements sit on the lower end; fiberglass or wood with specialty glass runs higher. Permit costs also vary by city. We provide itemized quotes so you know exactly what you're paying for before any work starts.

We serve cities across San Francisco, Marin County, the Peninsula, East Bay, and South Bay — including Oakland, San Jose, Marin communities, and the full Peninsula corridor from San Bruno to Menlo Park. The full list is in the service areas section above. If your city isn't listed, call us and we'll confirm.

A single window typically takes a few hours. A full-house replacement usually runs one to three days on site, depending on window count and any complications with the frames. Lead time for ordering windows adds a few weeks before installation begins.

Yes. We travel to your home anywhere in our service area, take measurements, and provide a written quote at no charge. There's no obligation to book after the estimate.

We install vinyl, fiberglass, and aluminum frames. Vinyl is the most common choice — good insulation, low maintenance, competitive price. Fiberglass is stronger and holds up well in coastal conditions. Aluminum works well in modern homes and commercial settings where a slim, clean profile matters. We'll go over the trade-offs for your specific situation during the estimate.

Yes — older homes are most of what we work on. Victorian and Edwardian properties in San Francisco, Craftsman bungalows in Oakland and Marin, mid-century ranches on the Peninsula. These buildings often have non-standard opening sizes or aged framing that requires careful handling. Our crew has worked with all of it.

Retrofit (pocket) installation replaces the window unit inside the existing frame, leaving the exterior wall and trim untouched. It's faster and less disruptive. Full-frame installation removes everything — frame, sill, and casing — and starts fresh. It's the right choice when the existing frame is rotted, out of square, or when you want to change the opening size.

In most Bay Area homes, yes — especially in older houses with single-pane aluminum windows. Modern double-pane glass with Low-E coating significantly reduces heat transfer. The difference is most noticeable in rooms that face west or get direct afternoon sun. Exact savings depend on the home, but reduced drafts and better temperature stability are consistently reported by homeowners after replacement.

It depends on the city and the scope of work. Straight like-for-like retrofits often don't require a permit in many Bay Area jurisdictions. However, San Francisco, some Peninsula cities, and historic districts have stricter requirements. We handle permit research and applications as part of the project when needed.

Milgard® windows come with manufacturer warranties that cover the product and glass. Specific terms vary by product line. Our installation work is also warranted separately — if something isn't right with how the window was fitted, we come back and fix it. We review all warranty details with you before the project starts and again at completion.
