Commercial Windows in Seattle
When a windstorm cracks a storefront pane or an office window starts letting rain in, we help you decide what needs fixing now and what can wait. We repair and replace windows on small commercial buildings, with written estimates and work planned around your hours.
Window Work for Small Commercial Buildings
We work with owners and managers of storefronts, small offices, clinics and mixed-use buildings. Most calls start with something sudden: a pane cracked by a falling branch, a sash that blew loose in a gust, or a stain spreading under a sill after a week of steady rain. Our first job is to tell you plainly if you're looking at a quick repair or a replacement, and how soon it really needs to happen.
A crew working on a building your staff, tenants or customers use every day has to be careful. We protect floors and displays, keep walkways clear and safe, and clean up before we leave so you can open as usual.
If your building also has a worn-out entry, our entry doors page covers that work. For a single broken unit, window repair may be all you need.
What Our Commercial Window Service Covers
- Damage assessment with photos
- We look at the glass, frame, seals and the opening around them, then show you photos of what we found. You get an honest answer on repair versus replacement before any work is scheduled.
- Glass and sealed unit replacement
- Cracked panes and fogged insulated units can often be swapped without touching the frame. That keeps cost and disruption down when the rest of the window is sound.
- Full window replacement
- When frames are rotted, warped or leaking, we replace the whole unit and flash it properly against wind-driven rain. Older wood and steel sash in brick buildings get extra care at the masonry opening.
- Safety glazing where code calls for it
- Glass near doors, close to the floor or in high-traffic spots usually has to be tempered or laminated. We spec the right glass for each location so the result passes inspection.
- Permits and cleanup
- We pull the permit when the job needs one and schedule any inspection. Old glass and frames leave with us, and the site is swept before we go.
- Workmanship warranty
- Our installation work is backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty, so if something we installed isn't right, we come back and make it right.
Signs Your Building's Windows Need Attention
Cracked or shattered glass
Even a small crack can spread with temperature swings or the next gust. It is also a safety and security problem for a business that's open to the public.
Water at the sill after rain
Puddles, stained drywall or soft trim under a window usually mean failed seals or flashing. Left alone through a wet season, it can rot the framing behind the finish.
Fog between the panes
Condensation trapped inside a double-pane unit means the seal has failed. The window is no longer insulating well, and the haze won't wipe off.
Sashes that stick or won't lock
Swollen wood, worn hardware or a frame that shifted in a storm can leave windows that won't close fully. That is a draft, a leak and an unlocked opening all at once.
Drafts and rising heating bills
If staff are bundling up near the windows every winter, the units are likely losing heat through gaps or single-pane glass.
What Affects the Cost of Commercial Windows
We don't price commercial work from a printed sheet. We come out, measure every opening and check its condition, then write an estimate that lists each item so the final bill holds no surprises. Flexible payment options are available if spreading out the cost helps your budget.
The glass each opening needs
A wide display window costs more than a small office pane, and safety-rated or insulated glass adds to the price over plain single glazing. The heaviest pieces may also need a bigger crew to lift and set without risk.
Condition of the frame and opening
A sound frame may only need new glass. Rot, rust or water damage hidden behind trim adds repair work once the old unit comes out, and we'll show you photos if we find it.
Access and height
Street-level storefronts are usually easy to reach. Second-story windows, tight sidewalks or scarce parking can mean extra equipment and more time on site.
Number of openings and permits
Doing several windows in one visit usually lowers the cost of each one compared with spreading them out. When the job calls for a permit and inspection, that fee and time are written into the estimate.
How a Commercial Window Job Runs
- 1
A no-pressure phone call
You tell us what happened and what kind of building it is. We set a time to come look, usually when it least affects your customers or tenants.
- 2
Walk-through and written estimate
We measure, photograph the damage and check the opening. You get a line-item estimate that separates what's urgent from what can wait, with no pressure to do it all at once.
- 3
Scheduling around your business
We order glass or units and book the install for a quiet morning, a closed day or after hours where that works. Most installs are finished in a single day.
- 4
Install, inspect and clean up
We protect the interior, remove the old window, set and seal the new one, and test that it opens, locks and sheds water. Then we clean up and walk you through the finished work.
Commercial Window Questions
A storm broke one of our windows. Should we replace the whole thing?
Not always. If the frame is solid and only the glass failed, a new pane or sealed unit is often enough. We'll show you photos of the frame and seals and explain which option makes sense for your building.
Can you work around our business hours?
Yes. We plan installs for times that keep your doors open as much as possible, such as early mornings or closed days. Most installs are done in a single day.
Will the work be covered by our building insurance?
That depends on your policy and adjuster. We can give you a written estimate and photos of the damage to share with them and explain what we found, but the coverage decision is theirs to make.
What credentials do you carry for commercial jobs?
Our company is licensed, insured and bonded. That protects you, your staff and anyone walking by while our crew is working at your building.
What happens if something goes wrong after the install?
Give us a call and we'll come take a look. If the problem traces back to how we installed the window, our 10-year workmanship warranty means we return and fix it.
