Window replacement in San Rafael typically costs $300–$1,200 per window installed, depending on size, material, and style. A full-house replacement (10–15 windows) averages $5,000–$15,000. Energy-efficient dual-pane windows qualify for federal tax credits up to $600.

What are the best windows for San Rafael's climate?

For San Rafael's hot summers and mild winters, we recommend dual-pane vinyl or fiberglass windows with Low-E coating and argon gas fill. These reduce heat gain by up to 70% and can lower cooling costs by 15–25%.

Yes, foggy windows caused by seal failure can often be repaired by replacing the insulated glass unit (IGU) without replacing the entire window frame, saving 50–70% vs full replacement.

WEH Builders is my go-to contractor for jobs big and small The owner, Walter, is easy to deal with and he and his crew do excellent work. They show up on time and are reliable. Walter removed two windows for me and replaced them with a window and door which leads out to my new patio. He also built a beautiful bench around our tree. When he and his crew finish a job they leave the site clean and neat and haul away all debris. I've worked with other contractors, and WEH is the best!

Walter is a good problem solver, he had great ideas for us with installing artistic exterior lighting. He is a craftsman and the quality of his woodworking and overall general knowledge was very helpful.

Great experience with WEH Builders. Walter and his crew did work on outdoor soffits and a downstairs indoor ceiling. Very nice. But they also were able to help with several touch-ups to a bathroom, deck post, and baseboard that had been lingering with us for a long time. Walter is nice, responsive, and fair in his pricing. We look forward to having WEH as our go-to contractor.
