Window Installation & Replacement in Nevada City, CA

Whether you have a broken window that needs immediate attention, foggy glass from a failed seal, or outdated single-pane windows driving up your energy bills, Colfax Glass handles residential window repairs and replacements across both of our service regions.

Broken glass is one of the most common calls we get. A cracked or shattered window is a security risk and an energy drain. We respond quickly with temporary boarding if needed and return with a permanent replacement sized to your opening. Foggy windows — where moisture appears between the panes — are another frequent issue, especially in homes 10 to 20 years old. That fog means the insulating seal has failed and the unit is no longer performing. We replace the insulated glass unit or the full window depending on frame condition.

For planned upgrades, we install replacement windows from Milgard, Ply Gem, Coeur D'Alene, and JELD-WEN. We carry vinyl, fiberglass, and wood-clad frame options and pair them with Low-E glass coatings sized to your home's orientation and climate zone. For Auburn and Roseville properties that take direct afternoon sun, we often recommend dual-pane units with a U-factor below 0.30 and a solar heat gain coefficient tuned for hot summers. For Brookings and Crescent City homes facing salt air and coastal wind, we focus on corrosion-resistant frames and impact-rated glazing.

We handle both retrofit installations, where the new window fits inside the existing frame, and full-frame replacements, where we remove everything down to the rough opening. Retrofit is faster and less invasive; full-frame is better when the existing frame is damaged or when you want to change the window size. During our in-home assessment, we inspect the framing, check for moisture damage, and recommend the right approach for each opening.

Every installation includes weatherstripping, insulation around the frame cavity, and clean interior and exterior trim work. We haul away old windows and leave the job site clean. Homes across Colfax, Grass Valley, Nevada City, Loomis, Rocklin, and Sacramento have all benefited from this straightforward process.
