AfterWindow Company in Inverness, CA
Windows and doors in Inverness do different work than they do almost anywhere else in Marin County. The town sits on the edge of Tomales Bay, where salt air, fog, and sudden sun alternate through the same afternoon, and a lot of the housing stock dates back to the 1960s and 70s. That combination means aluminum frames pitting at the corners, wood sashes swelling in winter, and door thresholds that never quite seal again after a wet season. We’re Juniper Windows & Doors, and the way we work here is simple: a written price before anything starts, a live arrival time on the day of the job, and a full year to tell us if something isn’t right. Call (682) 281-2168 if you want to talk through what you’re seeing.
Why Inverness Homes Are Different
Inverness sits on a narrow strip of land between Tomales Bay and the Pacific, which means wind and salt spray are not occasional guests. They’re the baseline. On homes along Camino del Mar and Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, we regularly see window frames where the powder coating on aluminum has started to bubble and flake, especially on the west-facing elevations that take the afternoon wind off the ocean. Wood windows here tend to hold moisture longer than they would in a drier inland town, which is why you’ll see more rot at the sill corners and around the sash meeting rails. It isn’t a defect in the original window. It’s what happens when a 40-year-old wood frame meets 40 consecutive fog seasons.
The housing stock matters just as much. A lot of Inverness homes are single-story, built in the 60s through the 80s, with window openings sized to an era before impact ratings and Low-E glass became standard. That’s not a problem, but it changes the job. A straightforward window replacement in Inverness often means custom sizing rather than dropping in a stock unit, which is one reason we always write the price before cutting anything. We’d rather you see the real number up front than discover it at the end.
Our Main Inverness Services
Most calls we get from Inverness fall into three groups: windows that need to come out and be replaced, new windows going into a remodel or addition, and exterior doors that have stopped sealing or working smoothly. Each has its own page here with more detail.
Window Replacement in Inverness
When we replace windows in Inverness, the first thing we check is what the old frame has been living through. Salt air corrodes hardware faster than people expect, so latches and crank mechanisms are often too far gone to save, and the rough opening sometimes needs more prep than a typical Bay Area job. We pull the old unit, inspect the framing around it, and install the replacement with a focus on sealing that keeps fog moisture out of the wall cavity. Most homeowners here choose impact-rated glass from PGT or ViewLux, both of which handle coastal wind loads well. Window Replacement in Inverness covers pricing, timelines, and what to expect.
Window Installation in Inverness
New construction and remodels in Inverness bring a different set of considerations. The lot often slopes toward Tomales Bay or toward the ridge, so we’ll check drainage around the rough opening before the window goes in. Proper flashing matters more here than it does in flat inland subdivisions, because wind-driven rain finds every gap. We install new windows to the manufacturer’s spec with the right flashing tape and sealant for coastal exposure. Whether you’re building a new bedroom wing or adding a picture window to the living room, Window Installation in Inverness walks through the process and the written-price promise.
Door Replacement in Inverness
Entry doors in Inverness take abuse from all sides. The west-facing front door gets afternoon wind off the bay, the back door might sit in fog shadow most of the day, and a door that doesn’t seal costs you heat all through the rainy season. We replace exterior doors with units rated for coastal moisture, paying attention to the threshold and the weatherstripping, because that’s where most leaks actually happen. Therma-Tru door systems are a common choice here for their rot resistance. Door Replacement in Inverness details the options and the price ranges.

What pushes price up in Inverness more than anything is the opening itself. Older homes with non-standard window sizes need custom orders, which adds cost, and west-facing openings that take wind off the Pacific sometimes need a stronger frame than the original. Every job gets a written price before anything is ordered or cut, so the number on the page is the number you approve.

FAQs About Window Company in Inverness
For a standard replacement using stock sizes, we can usually schedule within a week. Custom-sized windows or doors made to order typically add one to three weeks for manufacturing. Call (682) 281-2168 with the rough opening measurements and we’ll give you a real date range, not a guess.
Replacing a window or door in the same opening generally doesn’t require a permit in Marin County, but if you’re changing the rough opening size or moving a door, you may need one. We’ll tell you whether your job needs a permit and who pulls it before the written price is set.
Yes. Aluminum frames pit, hardware corrodes, and unfinished wood degrades noticeably faster within a mile of Tomales Bay than it does inland. That’s why we recommend marine-grade or impact-rated materials for Inverness homes that sit close to the water, and why we inspect the flashing and sealant on every install here.
If your windows or doors in Inverness are getting harder to open, letting in water, or just showing their age, call Juniper Windows & Doors at (682) 281-2168 for a free estimate. We’ll put the number in writing before anything starts.
