The quiet difference proper flashing makes.
Window replacement is the fastest way to cut drafts, stop the cold edge by the glass, and quiet down a house, but only if the install is honest. Whether you're replacing one tired unit or every window in the place, our Bellingham crews set new energy-efficient windows and flash them to the weather-resistive barrier so water that gets behind the trim drains back out instead of rotting the frame.
Every project starts with a free measure where we look at the actual opening, show you the frame, and put together a detailed line-item quote. We go insert (pocket) when the existing frame is sound and full-frame when there's rot or you want the flashing redone right. Most whole-house jobs install in a few days once the custom units arrive.
What it actually costs.
Our four-step process.
-
Free measure & written quote
We measure every opening, show you the frame, and deliver a detailed line-item quote, usually within a day.
-
Order your custom units
Windows are built to the exact size of each opening, so there is a short lead time before install.
-
Remove, inspect, and flash
We pull the old window, check the frame for rot, then flash to the weather barrier with sill pans and head flashing.
-
Set, trim, and final walkthrough
We set and level the new unit, trim and seal it, and walk it with you. Anything not right, we fix before we leave.
Why hire pros for this.
- Energy-efficient units with Low-E glass and argon fill for our cold, wet winters
- Flashed to the weather-resistive barrier, not just caulked
- Insert or full-frame, decided after we see the actual frame
- Detailed line-item quote with no hidden fees
- Sealed-unit manufacturer warranty plus our labor warranty
Frequently asked questions.
How much does window replacement cost in Bellingham?
Most Bellingham window replacements run $650 to $1,400 per window installed, with vinyl at the lower end and fiberglass or wood higher. Large picture units and specialty shapes cost more. We give you a free, detailed quote after we measure the openings.
How long does window replacement take?
Custom windows are built to size, so plan on a lead time of a few weeks after you order. Once the units arrive, a whole-house job typically installs in a few days, and a single window is often a one-day job.
Should I replace all my windows at once or a few at a time?
Either works. Doing them all at once usually lowers the per-window cost and gets the whole house tight in one go, but plenty of homeowners replace the worst north-facing or fogged units first and phase the rest. We will quote it either way.
