Bay & Bow Window Installation Portland, Oregon.
OJB Solutions installs and replaces bay and bow windows throughout the Portland metro. We coordinate the window opening, framing, support, exterior trim, flashing, and weatherproofing needed for these projecting window assemblies.
Projecting Window Assemblies
Bay and bow windows extend beyond the exterior wall.
Bay and bow windows use multiple window sections to create a projecting assembly that extends outward from the wall. This can add visual depth, a broader view, and additional interior space at the opening.
Because the assembly projects beyond the wall, installation involves more than setting a standard flat window. The opening, support, exterior trim, roof or head treatment where applicable, flashing, siding transitions, and weatherproofing all need to be considered.
OJB Solutions evaluates the existing opening and accessible surrounding conditions before defining the installation or replacement scope.
Bay & Bow Window Services
Installation built around a projecting window assembly.
Bay Windows
Bay windows typically use several window sections arranged to project outward from the exterior wall and create a defined interior area at the opening.
Bow Windows
Bow windows use multiple sections to create a broader curved appearance across the projecting window assembly.
Replacement Projects
Existing projecting window assemblies can be removed and replaced after the opening, surrounding materials, and support conditions are evaluated.
Framing & Opening Work
Accessible framing and opening conditions can be repaired or adjusted when required for the approved installation.
Exterior Trim
Exterior trim can be replaced or installed around the assembly as part of the finished exterior scope.
Flashing & Weatherproofing
Flashing, sealing, siding transitions, and related exterior details can be coordinated with the projecting window system.
Planning the Project
Projecting windows require attention to the opening, support, and exterior finish.
Existing Opening
The size and condition of the opening need to be evaluated against the selected bay or bow window system.
Support Requirements
Projecting window assemblies need to be supported according to the selected system and project conditions.
Projection Depth
How far the assembly projects affects both the exterior appearance and interior space at the finished opening.
Exterior Trim
Trim and finish details need to coordinate with the shape of the projecting assembly and the surrounding exterior.
Flashing & Siding
Flashing, siding transitions, and sealants need to be integrated with the assembly rather than treated as separate finishing details.
Existing Damage
Removing an older window can expose deterioration or other concealed conditions that were not visible before the project began.
Our Process
From the existing opening to the finished bay or bow window.
Evaluate & Measure
We review the existing opening, surrounding exterior materials, and the selected or planned window configuration.
Define the Scope
Removal, installation, framing, support, trim, flashing, and related approved work are documented in writing.
Remove & Install
The existing unit is removed when applicable, approved repairs are completed, and the new assembly is installed.
Finish & Review
Included trim, flashing, siding transitions, sealing, and final exterior details are completed and reviewed.

We consider the complete exterior opening.
Clear Written Scope
Removal, installation, framing, support, trim, flashing, and related work are defined before construction begins.
Exterior Construction Experience
We can coordinate the window with siding, trim, framing, sheathing, and other exterior components around the opening.
Concealed Conditions
If removal exposes hidden damage, we discuss and document additional work before proceeding beyond the approved scope.
Property Protection
Reasonable precautions are taken around interior finishes, exterior surfaces, landscaping, and access areas during the project.
Daily Jobsite Cleanup
Work areas are kept reasonably organized and project debris is managed throughout the installation.
Final Walkthrough
The completed scope is reviewed with the homeowner before project closeout.
