Whole-house window replacement in Gig Harbor typically costs $8,000 to $28,000, with waterfront and view homes trending toward the upper range because of larger glass. PrimeGuard Exteriors installs vinyl, fiberglass, and wood-clad replacement windows across Gig Harbor and the Key Peninsula — chosen and flashed for salt air, wind exposure, and the views you bought the house for — backed by a 2-year workmanship warranty plus the manufacturer’s warranty.
Gig Harbor homes work harder than most: marine air corrodes aluminum frames, southwest wind drives rain at the glass all winter, and big view windows magnify every efficiency problem. If your picture windows fog up right when the harbor view matters most, or your aluminum sliders have started to pit and stick, replacement pays off in comfort and in resale.
Fiberglass windows are our most-recommended frame near saltwater — corrosion-proof, dimensionally stable, and slim enough to keep sight lines on view walls. Vinyl windows remain the value pick and are impervious to salt. Wood-clad windows suit custom and craftsman homes where the interior finish matters. For view walls we size picture units and operable flankers to keep the glass big and the frames minimal.
Most whole-house projects run $8,000 to $28,000. Large picture windows, tempered glass near doors, and custom shapes push cost up; straightforward bedroom and bath openings keep it down. You get an itemized written quote for every opening before work begins — and if only the view wall needs attention now, we will quote it that way.
Fiberglass and vinyl are both immune to salt corrosion; fiberglass adds stiffness for big openings. Aluminum — the frame most Gig Harbor homes are replacing — is the one that suffers near the water.
Yes. Modern fiberglass frames are slimmer than the aluminum they replace, so most homeowners end up with more glass, not less. We size units to keep sight lines clean.
Like-for-like replacement in the existing opening generally does not require one; altering opening sizes or egress does. Requirements differ between the city and unincorporated Pierce County, and we confirm before starting.
Three to six weeks of manufacturing lead time after final measurement, then one to three days of installation for most homes.
No — we work one opening at a time, so the house is never left open. Winter and spring often have the shortest scheduling backlogs.
