Bow Window Replacement in Burlingame, CA
Bow window replacement swaps out a curved, multi-unit window assembly built from four or more equal sashes joined across a radius frame, and Burlingame homeowners with older Craftsman and mid-century ranch fronts need it most. Many of those original units sit on wood head boards that have taken decades of coastal fog and wind-driven rain, so the mullion joints loosen and the sill starts to rot. Our crews handle the seat board framing, flashing, and structural header support as one organized sequence.
Burlingame Window Replacement Elite is booking bow window projects through the 2026 season, with dry-weather scheduling for exterior tear-out. Written estimates come before any tool comes off the truck. Call and we will set a measure date that holds.

What Our Bow Window Replacement Service Includes
Bow window replacement is the process of removing a curved window assembly of four or more joined sashes and rebuilding it with new units, seat board, head board, and weather detailing, and at Burlingame Window Replacement Elite it includes full field measurement, structural header checks, flashing, insulation, and interior and exterior trim across Burlingame properties. Field measuring comes first, since a bow radius has to be verified at the jamb, mullion, and sill before anything gets ordered. Crews then dry-fit the unit, set it plumb and level on shims, apply flexible flashing tape and sill pan protection, and foam the perimeter with low-expansion insulation so the frame does not bow inward. Support brackets or cable systems get installed where the seat board carries load. We work on single-family homes, condo and multi-unit buildings, and small commercial storefronts throughout town.
Our 2026 scheduling runs on tight staging: material verified on arrival, drop cloths and dust barriers down, tear-out and install handled in one planned window instead of dragging across days. Openings never sit exposed overnight. Low-E insulated glass, warm-edge spacers, and matched grille patterns keep the new assembly consistent with the rest of the house. Every job wraps with a post-job walkthrough, operation check on each sash, and cleanup of the work zone before the truck leaves.

Signs You Need Bow Replacement
What Signs Mean Your Property Needs Bow Window Replacement?
A bow window needs replacement once the seat board sags, the mullion joints separate, or the insulated glass units show fogging and seal failure that no repair will reverse. Homeowners in Burlingame usually notice it in three or four ways: sashes that bind and will not crank or lift smoothly, water staining along the head board and interior casing, drafts pushing through failed weatherstripping, and paint blistering on a sill that has gone soft with rot. Coastal fog and long damp stretches work on end-grain wood hard. When the support cables or knee brackets under a bow assembly lose tension, the whole curve drops and racks the frame out of square.
Cold-side condensation and rising heating costs are the other common tells, especially on single-pane units still sitting in Burlingame homes going into 2026. We probe the sill and head board, check the header above the opening, and put the findings in a written estimate before recommending anything. Repair gets suggested when it makes sense. But once the frame is racked and the glass seals are gone, a full bow window replacement is the fix that holds, and our crews handle the tear-out, structural correction, and install on a set schedule.
Bow Window Pricing Factors
How Much Does Bow Window Replacement Cost in Burlingame?
Call Us On: (650) 249-0587
Bow window replacement pricing in Burlingame comes down to unit size, the number of glass lites in the curve, frame material, and how much of the surrounding structure needs rebuilding, with most 2026 jobs landing inside predictable local ranges. Bigger factors than most folks expect: header support, seat board or knee-brace work, and whether the old sill has dry rot behind the trim. Glass package matters too. Double-pane low-E with argon fill costs more than standard insulated glass, and custom radius units with fiberglass or clad-wood frames sit above vinyl. Stucco patching, interior casing rebuilds, and flashing replacement on a second-story wall all add labor hours to the schedule. Exact numbers require a site assessment because every opening in Burlingame measures out a little different once the trim comes off. We measure, check the rough opening, note the wall condition, then hand you a free written estimate with the line items spelled out so there are no surprises mid-job.
Proven Bow Window Results
Why Do Burlingame Homeowners Trust Us for Bow Window Replacement?
Homeowners in Burlingame hire our crew for bow window replacement because we handle the curved-unit geometry, header support, and flashing details in one organized sequence instead of stretching the job across weeks. Bow units are heavy and awkward. We set them with lifting straps and suction cups, shim each mullion true, then dry-fit the whole assembly before a single fastener goes in. Every project starts with a written estimate and a confirmed install date, and our 2026 schedule is built around tight arrival windows so your wall is never left open longer than the work requires.
Field experience shows up in the small steps: sill pan installation, backer rod and sealant joints, proper drainage plane laps behind the trim. We photo-document the rough opening before the new unit goes in, so any hidden dry rot or framing repair is recorded and discussed before we proceed. Tools stay staged, debris gets hauled out daily, and interior surfaces stay covered. Each install ends with a post-job walkthrough where we check operation, locks, and seal lines with you. A scheduled follow-up covers any settling or adjustment once the Burlingame coastal weather has had a few weeks to work on it.
