Locals just call it "the Village." If you've browsed Village Books on Harris Avenue or grabbed a coffee near the green, you know Fairhaven has a character all its own. The homes here run to 1890s-to-1910s Victorians and early Craftsmans, many with original wood double-hung sash, true divided lites, and storefront-style glass downtown. On these homes the window profile is part of the architecture, so we match historic sightlines and divided-lite patterns instead of dropping in a flat modern unit.
Fairhaven also sits up on the bluff above the bay, so it catches wind-driven rain coming off the water. That's exactly the exposure where flashing earns its keep: we flash to the weather-resistive barrier with sill pans and head flashing so the rain that hits the wall drains back out instead of rotting the sill. On pre-1978 homes we handle the glass and sash lead-safe. Whether it's restoration-grade wood window work, a new fiberglass entry door, or a weather-tight patio slider, we treat the Village's old homes with the care they're owed.
Yes. A lot of Fairhaven homes have original 1890s-to-1910s wood double-hung sash, and we match the historic profile and divided-lite pattern so a replacement reads right on a Victorian or Craftsman. Where the frame is sound we can re-glaze or rebuild; where it's gone we replace with units that keep the look.
How much does window and door replacement cost in Fairhaven?
Window replacement in Fairhaven runs $650 to $1,400 per window installed, more for historic-match wood units. Entry doors run $1,200 to $4,500 and patio sliders $1,800 to $5,500. The bluff exposure means we always flash to the weather barrier, and that's baked into the quote.
Do you handle lead-safe work on older Fairhaven homes?
Yes. Homes built before 1978 can have old lead-based coatings around the sash and trim, and we handle the glass and frame work lead-safe so the dust is contained on these older Village homes.
