Windows and Doors We Install and Repair
Our work covers window replacement and window repair, along with entry doors, patio doors and storm doors for your home, plus commercial windows for small buildings. We are a licensed company, insured and bonded, and every installation we complete carries our 10-year workmanship warranty. Each service has its own page explaining how the work is done and what changes the price.
Window Replacement
New windows measured to the real opening, flashed over a sloped sill pan and sealed to move with the seasons, with most installs finished in a single day.
Entry Doors
New fiberglass, steel or wood entry doors set on a flashed sill, shimmed at every hinge and adjusted until the latch closes with one easy push.
Patio Doors
Sliding and hinged patio doors set level on a flashed sill pan, adjusted until they roll and lock easily, with the opening left clean and dry.
Window Repair
We fix foggy glass, sticking sashes, failed weatherstripping and worn hardware, and tell you plainly when a repair will last and when it won't.
Storm Doors
Full-view, ventilating and retractable-screen storm doors, mounted plumb on your entry trim with a sealed top, a tuned closer and a sweep that meets the sill.
Commercial Windows
Replacement windows and upgraded glass for storefronts, offices and small commercial buildings, scheduled around your business hours.
A Window and Door Company That Works Slowly Where It Counts
We are a local window and door installer working in Kirkland and the towns around it. Our work is mostly replacing tired windows and doors in homes built over the last several decades, from early aluminum sliders to first-generation vinyl that has started fogging between the panes.
We do not try to be the fastest crew in the area. We would rather spend an extra quarter hour on a sill pan or a shim than come back in three years to chase a leak. That habit shows in quiet ways: doors that latch without a shove, windows that slide with one hand, trim lines that stay tight.
When you call, you talk with someone who will give you a clear answer, even when that answer is a repair instead of a sale.

What Shapes the Cost of Your Project
Two houses with an equal window count rarely get matching quotes. The price follows the openings themselves, the products you choose and what the wall looks like once the old unit comes out. These are the factors that carry the most weight.
Your quote is free and itemized line by line once we have measured and examined each opening. We can also go over our flexible payment options during the same visit.
- Number and size of openings
- Larger units and oversized picture windows cost more in materials and often need two installers to set. Bundling several openings into one visit usually makes better use of setup time.
- Frame material
- Vinyl, fiberglass and wood-clad frames differ in price, stiffness, color choices and how they hold up through a long damp season. We lay out the trade-offs plainly and leave the choice to you.
- Insert or full-frame installation
- An insert sits inside a sound existing frame and leaves interior trim alone. A full-frame install strips the opening back to the studs, which costs more but lets us flash it correctly and replace hidden damage.
- Condition behind the old unit
- Soft sills, rotted framing or failed original flashing only show up once the old window or door is out. If we find something, we photograph it, walk you through it and agree on next steps before any added work begins.
- Glass and hardware options
- Low-E coatings, laminated glass, tempered glass where code calls for it, and upgraded locks or handle sets all change the total.
- Permits and finish work
- Jobs that change an opening size often need a permit and inspection. New interior casing, paint-ready trim or a storm door added to an entry also factor in.
The Small Steps That Make a Window Last
Most window and door problems we are called to fix trace back to an install that looked fine on day one. Here is where we spend the extra minutes.
Water is managed before foam goes in
We set a sloped sill pan or flashed sill under each unit and lap the flashing tape shingle-style, top over sides over bottom. If water ever gets past the outer seal, it has a path back out instead of into your wall.
Square, plumb and shimmed at the right points
Shims go behind hinge and lock points on doors and at the meeting rails on windows. That is what keeps a sash sliding easily and a deadbolt lining up years later, after the house has settled through a few wet winters.
The right fill and the right sealant
We use low-expansion foam made for windows and doors, applied so it does not bow the frame. Exterior joints get backer rod and a sealant sized for the gap, which lets the joint flex without tearing.
Trim and finish treated as part of the job
Interior casing is reset or replaced, nail holes filled, and joints caulked cleanly so the opening looks finished, not patched. Outside, trim is fitted and sealed to shed water.
A straight answer on repair versus replace
If a window needs a new seal, balance or hardware rather than a full replacement, we tell you. Our window repair work exists so you only replace what has truly worn out.
How a Job Runs From First Call to Cleanup
Most installs are finished in a single day. The preparation before that day is what keeps it running smoothly.
- 1
A no-pressure phone consultation
You describe the windows or doors that are bothering you and what they are doing. We learn a little about your home and agree on a day for our visit.
- 2
Measuring and a close look
Every opening is measured, and we check sills and framing for moisture and note how the existing units were put in. You hear honestly what should be replaced and what can be repaired.
- 3
Written quote and ordering
You receive an itemized quote that spells out the product, installation method and finish work. After you approve it, we order units built to our measurements and pull any permit the job requires.
- 4
The installation itself
Floors and furniture near each opening get covered first. Then the old unit comes out and the new one is flashed, set, sealed and trimmed, and every opening is closed up before we leave, so your home is never exposed overnight.
- 5
Walkthrough and cleanup
We open, close and lock every unit with you, share any care basics, and haul away the old windows and doors along with our debris.
Questions Homeowners Ask Us
Something not covered here? (425) 648-3709
Should I replace all my windows at once or a few at a time?
Either approach works. Doing the whole house in one project usually makes the best use of setup and keeps styles consistent. Many people begin with the worst openings, often fogged or leaking units, and finish the rest later. We will help you sort out which windows need attention first.
How long does an installation take?
Most installs are finished in a single day. Larger homes, full-frame replacements or jobs where rot turns up in the framing can take longer, and we note that in the quote before work starts. Every opening is closed and sealed before we leave for the day.
My window is foggy between the panes. Does it need to be replaced?
Fogging means the seal on the insulated glass has failed. In a sound frame, we can often swap just the glass unit as part of our window repair service. If the frame is warped or the sash no longer seals, replacement usually makes more sense, and we explain our reasoning.
What is the difference between an insert and a full-frame installation?
An insert window fits into your existing frame, so interior trim and drywall stay untouched. A full-frame installation takes the old frame out down to the studs, letting us inspect the opening, replace damaged wood and flash it properly. We suggest full-frame when the existing frame is soft or the opening has leaked before.
Do I need a permit for new windows or doors?
Like-for-like replacements often do not, but changing an opening size or altering structure usually does. If your project needs one, we handle the permit paperwork and set up the inspector's visit ourselves. Either way, you will know before any work begins.
Can you install during the rainy months?
Yes. We work one opening at a time, so the wall is open only briefly, and we plan larger jobs around heavy rain in the forecast. Careful flashing matters most in wet weather, and that is exactly where we slow down.
Is there a way to spread out the cost?
Yes, flexible payment options are part of how we work. Ask about them during your free consultation and we will explain how they fit your project, so you can plan the work at a pace that suits your budget.
