Commercial Windows in Lynnwood
We replace and repair windows for shops, offices and small commercial buildings. You get a start date you can plan staff and customers around, an arrival window for each day on site, and a call from us if anything changes.
Window work that fits around your business
Commercial windows take a beating. Storefront glass gets bumped, sealant dries out, and insulated units fog once their seals let go. Leaky frames show up as drafts at the front counter and water stains under the sill.
Most owners don't worry about the glass. They worry about the disruption. So we plan the job around your hours. Before we start, you know which openings we work on each day, when the crew arrives, and what will be covered or taped off. If a glass order slips or the weather turns, you hear it from us first, with a new date.
We work on small commercial buildings around Lynnwood and nearby towns like Edmonds, Bothell and Mountlake Terrace. That means storefronts, offices, clinics and mixed-use buildings.
What the work includes
Walkthrough and measuring
We look at every opening you want done, check the frames for rot, rust or failed anchors, and measure for new units. You get photos of what we found.
Written, line-item quote
Each opening is priced on its own line, along with glass type, removal, disposal and any permit. You can phase the job if that helps your budget.
Storefront and office windows
We replace fixed storefront glass, aluminum-framed units and operable office windows. Where code calls for safety glass, such as next to doors or low to the floor, we order tempered or laminated glass.
Glass and seal replacement
Sometimes the frame is sound and only the glass has failed. Then we swap the insulated unit and reseal it. That usually costs less and goes faster than a full replacement.
Permits and cleanup
We check whether your project needs a permit and pull it when it does. At the end of each day we haul off old glass and frames and sweep the work area.
Signs your building's windows need attention
- Fog between the panes
- A milky haze inside double-pane glass means the seal has failed. The window has lost most of its insulating value, and the fog won't wipe off.
- Water at the sill
- Stains, swollen trim or damp carpet under a window point to failed sealant or flashing. In our wet months a small leak can rot framing fast.
- Drafts and hot spots
- If staff sit away from the windows in winter or close the blinds all summer, the glass is working against your heating and cooling.
- Cracked or chipped glass
- A crack can spread with temperature swings. In a storefront it's also a safety and security problem.
- Windows that won't open or lock
- Worn hardware or warped frames on operable office windows can leave a room without fresh air or a secure latch.
How a commercial job runs
- 1
Phone call and site visit
Tell us about the building and your hours. We set a visit time that works for you, then look at each opening and take measurements.
- 2
Quote and schedule
You get a written quote and a proposed schedule. It shows which days we're on site and which areas will be closed off. We can start early, work in sections, or plan around your slow days.
- 3
Ordering and confirmed dates
Custom glass and frames take time to make. We give you a realistic lead time and confirm your install dates once the order ships. If a supplier delays, we call you with a new date.
- 4
Install days
The crew shows up inside the arrival window we gave you. We tape off and cover the work area, set up barriers where customers walk, and close up each opening the same day we open it.
- 5
Final check
We walk the job with you, check every seal and latch, and clean the glass. We take care of any permit inspection with you.
What moves the price
Every building is different, so we price by opening after we've seen the site. The quote is free and there's no pressure to sign. Flexible payment options are available. Here is what changes the number the most.
- How big the glass is and what kind
- A wide sheet of shop-front glass costs more to make and set than a standard office unit. Safety glass, tempered or laminated, adds to the order. So does a low-E coating that keeps summer heat out.
- Getting to the opening
- Ground-floor glass is simple. Second-story openings or tight spots near walkways may need lifts or extra setup.
- What we find under the old frame
- If the old frame is sound, we may only replace the glass. If we find rot, rust or failed anchors, that repair goes into the quote before we start.
- Work hours and phasing
- Early starts or splitting the job into several visits to keep you open can add labor. We'll show you the tradeoff so you can decide.
- Permits
- Some projects need a permit and inspection. When yours does, we list the cost on its own line.
Commercial window questions
- Can I stay open while you work?
- Usually, yes. We work one section at a time and close up each opening before we leave for the day. Where customers walk, we put up barriers and keep a clear path. If an area has to close, we tell you ahead of time and for how long.
- How long does a commercial job take?
- It depends on how many openings you have and how big they are. A few office windows may take a day or two on site. A full storefront can take longer. The bigger wait is usually on making the glass, and we give you that lead time up front.
- What happens if my glass order is late?
- We call you as soon as the supplier tells us, and we give you a new install date. We won't pull out your old windows until the new ones are here and checked.
- Do you handle tenant spaces in a building I lease?
- Yes. We can work with your landlord or property manager on approvals and access times. It helps to know early who signs off, so we put that into the schedule.
- Do you only replace whole windows?
- No. If the frame is in good shape, swapping the glass or reseal is often the better call. For homes, we cover that kind of work on our Window Repair page, and the same honest repair-or-replace answer applies to your building.
