Window Replacement & Installation.
Replacement · Full-Frame · New Construction
OJB Solutions installs replacement and new-construction windows throughout the Portland metro. We evaluate the existing window, frame, sill, flashing, trim, surrounding exterior, and rough opening before defining the project scope.
What we evaluate on a window project
- ✓ Window size, type, operation, and current condition
- ✓ Frame, sill, jambs, and visible deterioration
- ✓ Existing flashing and exterior water-management details
- ✓ Interior and exterior trim impacts
- ✓ Insert vs. full-frame replacement options
- ✓ Structural or permit requirements when applicable
Window Styles
Window styles for different openings and homes.
Window style affects operation, ventilation, appearance, glass area, hardware, and the way the unit fits the existing opening.
Double-Hung
Two vertically operating sashes allow ventilation from the upper or lower portion of the window. A versatile option for many traditional residential openings.
Casement
Hinged windows that open outward with a crank. Casement units can be used individually or combined with fixed glass for larger openings.
Sliding
Horizontal sliding windows work well for wider openings and simple residential layouts. One or more sashes move along the frame track.
Picture & Fixed
Non-operating units designed for light, views, and large glass areas. They are often combined with operable windows in larger assemblies.
Awning
Hinged at the top and opening outward at the bottom, awning windows can be used alone or as part of a combination window system.
Bay & Bow
Projecting window systems that extend beyond the exterior wall. These installations require careful planning for support, flashing, trim, roofing details where applicable, and the existing opening.
Replacement Options
Insert replacement or full-frame replacement?
Not every replacement window project requires the same scope. The condition of the existing frame, flashing, trim, sill, and surrounding exterior helps determine the right approach.
An insert or pocket replacement may be appropriate when the existing frame is in suitable condition and the new window can be installed within the existing opening.
A full-frame replacement removes the existing window and frame down to the rough opening, allowing the opening, flashing, sill, and surrounding materials to be evaluated and rebuilt where needed.
We evaluate the existing conditions first rather than assuming one replacement method is right for every home.
Insert Replacement
May be suitable when the existing frame and surrounding conditions are acceptable and compatible with the replacement system.
Full-Frame Replacement
Removes the existing frame to expose the rough opening and allows flashing, sill, trim, and damaged materials to be addressed as part of the project.
New-Construction Windows
Used for new openings, additions, major exterior renovations, or projects where the wall assembly is opened for full installation.
Glass & Glazing
Glass packages should match the project.
Window performance depends on the complete unit, including frame, glass package, spacers, seals, installation, orientation, and manufacturer specifications.
Double-Pane Low-E
Common Residential OptionDouble-pane insulated glass with Low-E coatings is available in a wide range of performance levels and is commonly used in residential replacement windows.
Triple-Pane
Higher-Performance OptionTriple-pane systems add another layer of glass and insulated space. Whether the additional performance is worthwhile depends on the opening, exposure, product, budget, and homeowner goals.
Safety Glass
Project DependentTempered or other safety glazing may be required in certain locations depending on window placement and applicable code. Required glazing is identified as part of the project planning process.
Our Process
How a window project works with OJB.
The exact process depends on the window system and existing conditions, but most replacement projects follow these steps.
On-Site Estimate
We measure the openings, evaluate the existing windows and visible frame conditions, discuss styles and goals, and define the proposed scope.
Window Selection
Window style, frame material, glass package, color, grid options, operation, and other project details are finalized before ordering.
Removal & Opening Prep
The existing window is removed according to the approved scope and the opening is checked for conditions that need to be addressed before the new unit is installed.
Install, Seal & Finish
The replacement unit is installed according to applicable manufacturer requirements, sealed, trimmed, adjusted, and tested for proper operation.

Window FAQ
Common window replacement questions.
Fog or condensation between panes usually indicates a failed seal in the insulated glass unit. Depending on the window system and the condition of the frame, the solution may involve glass replacement or replacement of the complete window unit.
Insert replacement keeps the existing window frame and installs a new unit within it when the existing conditions are suitable. Full-frame replacement removes the existing frame to expose the rough opening and allows the flashing, sill, trim, and surrounding conditions to be addressed.
Permit requirements depend on the property, jurisdiction, and scope. Structural changes, changes to an opening, or other modifications may trigger different requirements than a straightforward replacement. When permits are required for work in our scope, OJB Solutions coordinates the applicable process.
Depending on the selected manufacturer and product line, options can include vinyl, fiberglass, wood, wood-clad, and other window systems. Material choice depends on budget, appearance, maintenance preferences, opening requirements, and project goals.
Yes. Window projects can range from individual failed or damaged units to larger multi-window or whole-home replacement projects. We evaluate the requested scope and prepare the estimate accordingly.
Potentially. Creating or enlarging an opening can involve structural framing, headers, siding, interior finishes, engineering, and permitting. We evaluate the proposed opening before defining the scope.
Visible damage is included in the proposed scope whenever it can be identified beforehand. If concealed conditions are discovered during removal, we explain what was found and document any required scope change before additional work proceeds.
