Window Company in Corte Madera, CA
Corte Madera windows and doors have to do two jobs at once: stand up to constant salt air and fog off San Francisco Bay, and meet California’s Title 24 energy rules that the town reinforced through its 2022 Climate Action Plan. That combination shapes nearly every decision we make on a Corte Madera job, from frame material to glass coating to weatherstripping. Most of the work we do here is on mid-century ranch and split-level homes built between the 1950s and 1970s, many still running original single-pane aluminum or wood windows that are now failing. If you’re trying to figure out what your project will cost, call (252) 675-6980 and we’ll give you a written price before any work begins.
Why Corte Madera Homes Are Different
Corte Madera sits in a fog-prone pocket just north of the Golden Gate Bridge, and the marine air here does not let up. Salt spray accelerates corrosion on metal window frames and door hardware, especially on homes facing the bay or the marshlands. We see pitted aluminum tracks, seized locks, and rusted hinges on houses that are otherwise in good shape. That is not an inland Marin problem, and it changes what we recommend.
The housing stock compounds it. Corte Madera is dominated by mid-20th-century ranch-style and split-level homes, and a large share of them still have the original single-pane windows. Those windows were never designed for either the moisture load or the energy standards now in effect. In neighborhoods like Christmas Tree Hill, hillside homes get the double hit of salt fog and strong bay breezes, which cause differential expansion and contraction in frames. We regularly see seal failures and drafts there that inland homes never develop. The fix usually involves reinforced frames and heavier weatherstripping, plus glass that handles both heat and moisture, like low-E glass, a thin coating that blocks heat while letting light through. In Corte Madera, the product choice matters as much as the installation.
Our Main Corte Madera Services
Most Corte Madera homeowners call us for one of three things: making old windows work again, replacing them entirely, or replacing a front door that no longer seals or secures the home. Each service has its own Corte Madera page with pricing and details.
Window Replacement in Corte Madera
Replacing windows in Corte Madera usually means pulling out original single-pane units from a 1950s or 1960s home and putting in frames that can take the marine air without corroding. Fiberglass and thermally broken aluminum are the two materials we recommend most often here, paired with low-E glass to satisfy Title 24. The town’s 2022 Climate Action Plan keeps energy standards front and center, so the product selection is not purely aesthetic. We quote a written price before any work starts, and every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise. See the full breakdown on our Window Replacement in Corte Madera page.

Window Repair in Corte Madera
In Corte Madera, window repair is often a corrosion story. Fog and salt spray seize window locks, pit aluminum tracks, and wear out weatherstripping faster than homeowners expect. Common fixes include replacing failed balances, swapping out damaged sash hardware, reglazing fogged insulated glass, and re-sealing frames that have started to draft. Every repair we do includes a written guarantee, and if the repair fails, the second visit is free. For a full list of repair types and what they cost, see Window Repair in Corte Madera.

Front Door Replacement in Corte Madera
A front door in Corte Madera has to resist moisture, salt, and temperature swings, but it is also the first thing a visitor sees and the barrier you count on for security. Older homes in town often have wood doors that have swollen or warped in the damp air, or steel doors showing rust at the threshold. We install Therma-Tru and ViewLux doors with rot-resistant frames, proper sill pans, and weatherstripping built for the microclimate. Full pricing and options are on the Front Door Replacement in Corte Madera page.
