Window Installation & Replacement — What to Expect
Old or failing windows are one of the largest sources of energy loss in foothill and coastal homes. Single-pane glass and deteriorated seals let conditioned air escape, force HVAC systems to work harder, and create uncomfortable drafts near seating areas and bedrooms. Replacing those windows is one of the most cost-effective upgrades a homeowner can make, both for monthly utility savings and long-term property value.
Colfax Glass installs 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.
Window Installation & Replacement for Sacramento, CA Homes
Sacramento presents the widest variety of building types in our service area. Midtown and East Sacramento have Craftsman bungalows and Tudor Revival homes from the 1920s and 1930s with original wood-frame windows. Land Park and Curtis Park feature mid-century homes, while Natomas, Elk Grove, and the pocket neighborhoods have newer suburban construction. We also handle select commercial glass work for Sacramento businesses, including storefront repairs and office glass.
Sacramento summers are hot, with sustained temperatures above 100 degrees and low humidity. This combination accelerates weatherstripping degradation and puts thermal stress on window seals. For older midtown homes, the challenge is often replacing windows in a way that respects the original architecture while delivering modern performance. For suburban homes, the priorities are energy efficiency and reliable operation.
Colfax Glass is about 50 minutes from central Sacramento via I-80. We service the metro area on a scheduled basis, clustering Sacramento projects to make the drive worthwhile for both our crew and our clients. We are best suited for planned projects like window replacements, door installations, and shower glass rather than same-day emergency calls. For commercial clients, we handle storefront glass replacement and door hardware repairs throughout the Sacramento area.
