Window Company in Kensington, CA

Juniper Windows & Doors is the window and door specialist serving Kensington, CA, with direct, written pricing on every project before any work begins. Kensington’s hillside homes, many built between the 1930s and 1960s, bring unique challenges: fog exposure off the bay, steep lots with tricky access, and older framing that rarely matches today’s standard window sizes. We work with eight product lines so the right window or door for a Kensington home is never a compromise. Call (682) 281-2168 for a free estimate.

Why Kensington Homes Are Different

Kensington sits on the eastern slope of the Berkeley Hills, which means two things for windows and doors: morning fog and afternoon sun, often in the same day. Glass and seals take a beating from that cycle, and older single-pane units lose the battle first. Many homes here were built before insulated glass became standard, so condensation between panes and failed seals are common calls for us in this area.

The terrain matters too. Homes along Arlington Avenue, Coventry Road, and the upper reaches of Colusa Circle often have narrow driveways or steep stair access. That changes how we stage a job: we bring materials in smaller loads, protect landscaping and hardscape, and plan each entry point before the first window comes out. Kensington is unincorporated Contra Costa County, so permits route through the county rather than a city building department, and some hillside-adjacent work triggers additional planning review. We handle that paperwork as part of the job.

Architecturally, Kensington has a strong mid-century and craftsman mix. Many homes have original wood sash windows, wide trim, and custom door openings that do not accept off-the-shelf replacements without modification. We measure every opening individually and quote the actual work required, not a “standard size” price that changes later.

Our Main Kensington Services

Kensington homeowners call us most often for window replacement and door replacement. Each service has its own Kensington page with local pricing, what the job involves, and answers to the questions we hear most.

Window Replacement in Kensington

Replacing windows in Kensington usually means pulling out original wood sash or failed aluminum frames and installing new, properly flashed units that handle the fog-to-sun cycle without leaking or fogging. We see a lot of rot in older sills from decades of marine moisture. The written price you get before work starts covers the full swap, trim repair, flashing, and cleanup. Read the full breakdown on our Window Replacement in Kensington page.

Window Installation in Kensington

Window installation in Kensington applies to new construction, additions, or replacement of a unit where the rough opening is being rebuilt rather than reused. On hillside lots, this often means coordinating with a general contractor or on a remodel where framing is already open. We install to the manufacturer’s spec so the U-factor and air-infiltration ratings hold up in real conditions. Details are on the Window Installation in Kensington page.

Door Replacement in Kensington

Door replacement in Kensington spans front entry doors, patio sliders, and interior units. Older homes here often have non-standard rough openings, so we cut, shim, and install to the actual opening rather than forcing a standard door into a space it wasn’t built for. Weatherstripping and threshold work matter more here because of wind-driven rain off the hills. See local specifics and what to expect on our Door Replacement in Kensington page.

Brands We Service in Kensington

We service and install windows and doors from PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux. The right product for a Kensington home depends on exposure, opening size, and style, so we carry more than one line. See our brands for the full list and what each one does best.
