What We Install

Our Window & Door Services

We handle the full scope of window and door replacement for coastal Oregon homes - from removing the old unit to repairing whatever we find behind it and installing the new one with proper flashing and weather sealing that will hold up to decades of Pacific storms.

Replacement windows. Single-hung, double-hung, casement, and picture windows. We work with vinyl and fiberglass frames that resist salt-air corrosion and install double- or triple-pane Low-E glass for energy efficiency. Every window is shimmed, insulated, and sealed to the rough opening - not just friction-fit and caulked.

Sliding glass doors. Patio sliders take a beating on the coast. We replace worn-out tracks, failed rollers, and compromised seals with new sliding door systems built for heavy weather exposure. Proper threshold flashing prevents the water intrusion that destroys subfloors behind old sliders.

Entry and exterior doors. Front doors, back doors, utility doors, and garage service doors. We install fiberglass and steel exterior doors with weatherstripping rated for wind-driven rain. If your existing door frame is out of square from settling or moisture damage, we rebuild the rough opening before hanging the new door so it seals correctly and operates smoothly.

Framing repair around openings. This is where most window and door jobs on the coast become more than a simple swap. When we pull the old unit, we frequently find rot in the jack studs, header, sill plate, or surrounding sheathing. We repair or replace all compromised framing before installing the new window or door - because setting a new unit into rotted wood is a guaranteed callback.

Flashing and weather sealing. Proper flashing is the single most important detail in any window or door installation on the Oregon Coast. We install step flashing, head flashing, and self-adhering membrane around every opening to create a continuous moisture barrier. This protects the framing behind the unit from the wind-driven rain that causes most coastal rot damage in the first place.

The Coastal Problem

Why Coastal Homes Need Better Windows and Doors

Windows and doors are the weakest points in any building envelope, and on the Oregon Coast those weak points face conditions that most of the country never experiences. Lincoln County averages over 60 inches of rain annually, much of it driven sideways by sustained Pacific winds. That combination exploits every gap, every failed seal, and every shortcut in flashing that an inland home might get away with for years.

Wind-driven rain infiltration. Standard caulk-and-hope installations fail within a few years on the coast. When rain is pushed horizontally by 40 to 70 mph gusts, it finds paths into wall cavities that gravity alone would never create. Water enters above windows, behind door trim, and through deteriorated weatherstripping - then sits inside the wall where you can't see it.

Salt air corrosion. Salt-laden coastal air accelerates corrosion on window hardware, hinges, locking mechanisms, and any exposed metal fasteners. Aluminum-framed windows are especially vulnerable. Hardware that would last 20 years inland can seize up or fail within five to eight years near the coast, leaving windows that won't lock properly or won't seal when closed.

Energy loss through single-pane glass. Many older coastal homes still have original single-pane windows. These lose heat rapidly during the cold, wet months from October through March, forcing heating systems to run constantly. The temperature difference between inside and outside also creates condensation on glass and frames, which feeds moisture directly into the surrounding wood.

Condensation and framing damage. When warm interior air meets cold glass, moisture forms on the window surface and drips into the sill. Over months and years, this steady moisture supply rots the sill plate, the lower portion of the jack studs, and the interior trim - damage that's often hidden behind paint or drywall until the wood is soft enough to push a screwdriver through.

UV exposure. The Oregon Coast receives significant UV exposure even on overcast days. Prolonged UV breaks down sealants, fades and cracks exterior trim paint, and degrades the gaskets in older window systems. Low-E glass coatings block a large percentage of UV, protecting both your interior furnishings and the window components themselves.

Our Approach

Proper Installation Matters More Than the Window

You can buy the highest-rated window on the market and still have water pouring into your walls within two years if it's installed wrong. On the Oregon Coast, installation quality determines whether a window replacement lasts three years or thirty. Here's how we approach every job to make sure it lasts.

Full removal and inspection. We don't install replacement inserts over existing frames without checking what's behind them first. We pull the old unit completely, strip back the exterior trim, and inspect the rough opening down to the sheathing and framing. If the wood is solid, we proceed. If it's not - and on the coast, it frequently isn't - we repair it before anything new goes in.

Framing repair when rot is discovered. Finding rot behind old windows is not an exception on the coast - it's the norm. Water has been working its way into the wall cavity for years through failed caulk, deteriorated flashing, or condensation dripping off the glass. We cut out all damaged wood, sister in new studs or sill plates as needed, and treat the surrounding structure before closing it back up. This structural repair is what separates a proper window replacement from a cosmetic one.

Flashing and moisture management. Every window opening gets a full flashing system: sill pan flashing to catch any water that gets past the window, side flashing integrated with the house wrap, and head flashing above to direct water away from the top of the frame. We use self-adhering membrane at critical junctions and ensure every layer sheds water outward and downward. No exposed seams, no reliance on caulk alone.

Proper shimming and insulation. We shim each window at the prescribed points to keep it square and level within the rough opening, then fill the gaps with low-expansion foam or backer rod and sealant. Over-expanding foam can bow a frame and prevent the sash from operating; we use the right product at the right density to insulate without distortion.

Exterior trim and final seal. Once the window is set and the flashing is integrated, we install exterior trim with a back-caulk seal, leaving a small drainage gap at the bottom of the trim to let any incidental moisture escape. The final exterior caulk is applied over the flashing - not in place of it. This layered approach means that even if the outer caulk eventually fails, the flashing system behind it continues to keep water out of the wall.

Common Questions

Window & Door Replacement FAQ

Several signs indicate replacement is the better investment: persistent drafts even when windows are closed, visible condensation between double-pane glass (indicating seal failure), difficulty opening or closing due to frame warping, visible rot in the wood frame or sill, and noticeably higher heating bills. Single-pane windows in coastal homes are almost always worth replacing for energy savings alone. Minor issues like worn weatherstripping or a stuck latch can usually be repaired, but if the frame itself is compromised by moisture or the glass seal has failed, replacement is the more cost-effective long-term solution.

For the Oregon Coast, we recommend vinyl or fiberglass-framed windows with double- or triple-pane Low-E glass. These materials resist salt-air corrosion far better than bare aluminum or untreated wood. Low-E coatings reduce UV damage to interiors and improve insulation. We also look for windows rated for high wind resistance and with quality weatherstripping designed for heavy rain exposure. The specific recommendation depends on your home's orientation, wind exposure, and budget, which we assess during the free estimate.

Yes, and this is one of the most important parts of any window replacement on the coast. When we remove old windows, we frequently find rot in the surrounding framing, sill plate, or sheathing that was hidden behind trim. We repair or replace all damaged structural wood before the new window goes in, then install proper flashing and moisture barriers to prevent the same problem from recurring. Installing a new window over rotted framing is a waste of money - the seal will fail, the window will shift, and the rot will continue spreading.

The savings depend on what you're replacing. Upgrading from single-pane to double-pane Low-E windows can reduce heat loss through those openings by 40 to 50 percent. For a typical coastal home with 10 to 15 windows, homeowners commonly report a noticeable drop in heating costs during the wet, windy months from October through March. Beyond energy savings, new windows also reduce drafts and cold spots, which makes your home more comfortable even before the utility bill arrives. We can discuss estimated savings based on your home's size and current window condition during the estimate.
