Our Window & Door Approach

Energy performance starts at the opening.

Most window and door problems trace back to the opening, not the product. We check framing condition, flashing details, and weatherseal before selecting replacement units, because a good window in a bad opening still leaks.

Portland homes deal with sustained rain exposure and temperature swings. We size, flash, and trim each opening so the installed unit performs to spec and integrates cleanly with surrounding siding and interior finishes.

Common Questions

Window & Door Replacement FAQ

01Do replacement windows require permits in Portland?

Same-size replacements in existing openings typically do not require permits. Changing opening sizes or adding new openings requires structural permits and inspections.

02Can you replace windows and doors during a remodel?

Yes. We coordinate window and door scope with interior and exterior remodel phases so installation, flashing, and finish work stay on sequence.

03How long does window replacement take?

Individual window replacements take 2 to 4 hours each. A full-home window project runs 3 to 7 days depending on unit count and opening conditions.

04What window types meet Portland energy code?

Oregon energy code requires U-factor of 0.30 or lower for most residential windows. Double-pane low-E vinyl and fiberglass units meet this standard.

05How much does window replacement cost in Portland?

Standard vinyl window replacements run $400 to $800 per unit installed. Fiberglass, wood-clad, or custom sizes range from $800 to $1,500 or more per unit.
