Window and Door Replacement in Santa Monica
Window and door replacement in Santa Monica with sealed pan flashing, durable frames and tempered glass, plus stucco and exterior repair by Fernhill Builders.
Windows and doors become the first job on a Santa Monica exterior when the frames themselves are failing: steel sashes that have rusted at the corners, wood sills gone soft, or sliding doors that drag and leak at the track. Once an opening lets water in, the stucco and framing around it follow. Replacing the unit and flashing the opening correctly stops that chain before the wall needs bigger repair.
Frames that resist moisture
Fiberglass and quality vinyl frames do not rust or rot, and they hold their shape whatever the humidity. If you want the look of wood, a clad unit keeps aluminum or fiberglass on the weather side. Hardware should be stainless steel, since plated hinges and rollers can pit where moisture lingers. Glass can be dual pane with a tempered layer, and a low emissivity coating cuts glare and heat gain on sunny walls. Every option appears in the quote with its own price.
Installation and the city review
We remove each old unit, inspect the framing for rot, and repair what we find before the new window goes in. A sloped sill pan and self adhered flashing tape are lapped shingle fashion under the building paper so water drains out. Exterior stucco is patched in layers and finished to match. Santa Monica has its own city building department, and replacements that change an opening size or alter the structure go through it. Any added planning review that applies to the lot is confirmed before drawings are filed.
