We’re the Window Replacement team at Juniper Windows & Doors, and we coordinate every Larkspur job from our Bay Area office with crews serving the city directly. Sean Mackey leads the operation, and every project gets the same standard: a written price before work starts, live arrival tracking, and before-and-after photos so you can see exactly what we did.

Why Juniper Windows & Doors Is Larkspur’s Preferred Window Replacement Company

We’ve rebuilt window openings on Magnolia Avenue, replaced fogged units in Baltimore Park, and pulled permits for full-frame jobs in Palm Hill and the Madrone Canyon corridor. What separates us in Larkspur is that we know the split: most houses in Larkspur file through Marin County’s building department, while the historic downtown core and some waterfront parcels near the lagoon fall under City of Larkspur review. You’d be surprised how often a contractor misses that distinction until inspection scheduling stalls. We don’t.

Every Larkspur job starts with a fixed written quote. Not a range, not a “we’ll see once we open it up” – a number. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every installation in Larkspur: 365 days, parts and labor, in writing. If something isn’t right, we return and fix it. A live person answers our phone 24/7, so when you call about your Larkspur window project, you talk to a human, not a voicemail queue.

Our Larkspur customers consistently rate us highly for the same reasons: background-checked, uniformed technicians, a live arrival time you can track like a rideshare, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone. No mystery costs. No four-hour waiting windows. No re-quoting at the door.

Window Pane Replacement in Larkspur

Window Pane Replacement in Larkspur means exactly what it sounds like: we replace the glass unit itself rather than tearing out the entire window, and in Larkspur’s older housing stock this is often the smarter move. When a single pane cracks on a 1930s cottage near downtown or a double-pane unit fogs on a 1970s hillside home off Escalle, replacing just the pane preserves the original frame and sightlines while restoring thermal performance. In Larkspur, pane replacement typically runs $350 – $850 per window depending on glass package and whether the sash needs reglazing.

Insulated Glass Unit Replacement

Most Larkspur homes with double-pane windows eventually deal with a failed seal. The telltale fog or mineral haze between the panes means the insulating gas has escaped and moisture is inside the unit. We measure, order the replacement IGU (insulated glass unit) to the exact sash dimensions, and swap it in without disturbing the surrounding trim. For a standard double-hung in Larkspur, expect $450 – $750 per IGU.

Single-Pane to Low-E Glass

Many downtown Larkspur homes still have original single-pane glass. Replacing just the pane with a low-E insulated unit keeps the character of the old wood sash while cutting heat loss significantly. We match the thickness and profile so the window operates the way it always has. This runs $500 – $900 per pane in Larkspur, depending on size and low-E coating selection.

Window Seal Repair in Larkspur

Window Seal Repair in Larkspur addresses the failure of the seal between glass panes in double- and triple-pane units, and it’s one of the most common calls we get from homeowners near Corte Madera Creek and the flats where morning fog lingers. A failed seal shows up as condensation trapped between panes, haze, or a window that won’t insulate the way it should. In Larkspur, seal repair or IGU replacement typically runs $400 – $800 per window, which is less than half the cost of a full replacement and keeps your existing frames intact.

Fogged Unit Diagnosis

We inspect the sash, measure the IGU, and confirm whether the fog is a failed seal or something else like interior humidity meeting cold glass. Fogged windows in Larkspur homes are almost always seal failure once the window is more than 12 – 15 years old. A quick diagnosis visit tells you what you’re dealing with before you spend anything.

Seal Repair vs. Full Replacement

If the frame, sash, and hardware are sound, replacing the IGU is the right fix. If the wood is rotting behind the jamb – something we see regularly in Larkspur’s pre-war housing stock – a seal repair would be like putting a bandage on a broken arm. We’ll tell you plainly which one your house needs and write the price down before any work starts.

Trusted Brands We Service in Larkspur

Juniper Windows & Doors carries PGT, CGI, and ViewLux product lines, which gives us real flexibility when Larkspur homeowners need a specific look or performance spec. PGT impact-rated units make sense for homes on exposed hillside sites along Sir Francis Drake where wind drives rain sideways. CGI offers strong aluminum frames that suit many mid-century Larkspur homes. ViewLux handles the slimmer double-hung profiles that match older downtown aesthetics. Because we stock these lines and order glass locally, turnaround on Larkspur job sites is fast and predictable.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Larkspur Homes

• Rot behind the jamb in pre-war homes. Downtown Larkspur’s 1920s and 1930s bungalows often hide wood rot behind window trim that looked fine from the outside. Once we remove the trim, we find failed flashing and soft framing that needs reframing before new windows go in.
• Fogged double-pane units from failed seals. Homes built in the 1980s and 1990s throughout Larkspur are hitting the age where original double-pane seals fail. The fix is usually an IGU replacement, not a full window, which saves significant money.
• Wrong permit authority on the application. A county permit filed for a City of Larkspur parcel – or vice versa – stalls the whole project. We confirm jurisdiction before we submit anything, which keeps your inspection schedule on track.
• Windows ordered before design pressure is confirmed. Hillside homes near Madrone Canyon and Escalle require specific design pressure ratings. Ordering production windows before confirming the spec means returned units and weeks of delay. We confirm the engineering first.
