Window Replacement in Novato
Window replacement in Novato pairs naturally with a re-side: the postwar ranch and tract stock often still carries original aluminum or single-pane units that leak air and bleed comfort, and on hillside-edge lots the surrounds are an ignition path best integrated into a hardened assembly while the cladding is off.
Original tract glazing is the opportunity
Novato's ranch/tract homes commonly retain original single-pane windows. Replacing them during the re-side closes the comfort and air-leak path and flashes the openings into the drainage plane correctly — far better than a standalone swap with applied trim.
Hillside-edge surrounds as a fire detail
On open-space-adjacent Novato parcels, window surrounds are an ignition path; doing windows with the re-side lets us integrate them into the non-combustible assembly. Elsewhere the gain is comfort and noise in the mild climate.
