Bay windows typically cost between $1,700 and $5,000 per unit, including professional installation, depending on dimensions, materials, and incorporated features. The increased investment reflects complex construction, additional structural framing, and the significant architectural impact these windows deliver. While more expensive than standard windows, bay windows offer exceptional value through increased property value and dramatic aesthetic improvements.

Yes, bay windows necessitate proper structural support, including solid foundation elements, roof structure, and adequate framing to manage the projection’s weight. We ensure all installations satisfy building codes with appropriate support brackets, cable systems, or knee braces. Our professional installation includes all necessary structural components for safe, enduring performance.

Bay windows function beautifully in living rooms, dining areas, master bedrooms, and kitchens where you want to maximize views and light. The space must provide adequate exterior wall dimensions and proper structural capacity supporting the projection. We evaluate each location, ensuring feasibility and optimal placement for both function and aesthetics.

Bay window maintenance includes cleaning all glass surfaces, inspecting weather seals, and examining the roof section for leaks or deterioration. Lubricate any operable side windows and examine exterior finishes for paint or coating deterioration. The projected design requires attention to the undersides and roof areas that standard windows don’t have.

Modern bay windows with low-emissivity glass, proper insulation, and quality construction provide excellent energy efficiency despite their size. The multiple glass surfaces can lose more energy than single windows if poorly constructed, but our high-performance units minimize heat transfer. Proper installation with adequate insulation around frames ensures optimal thermal performance.

Absolutely, window seats are among the most requested features homeowners incorporate into bay window installations. The projected interior space provides ideal dimensions for comfortable seating with storage underneath. We discuss design options during planning to ensure your bay window accommodates your vision for this inviting feature.

Professional bay window installation typically demands one to three full days, depending on project complexity and whether structural modifications are needed. We manage everything from removing old windows to installing new units with proper support, insulation, and finishing. Our team works efficiently while maintaining the highest quality standards throughout the process

Bay windows commonly feature 30-degree or 45-degree angles between center and side panels, though custom angles are available. The 30-degree configuration creates more subtle projections, while 45-degree angles provide more dramatic interior space. We help you select angles that best complement your home’s architecture and your functional needs.

Properly installed bay windows with quality construction and flashing should not leak any more than standard windows. The key is professional installation addressing the roof section, proper sealing, and adequate weatherproofing. We employ proven techniques and premium materials ensuring your bay window remains watertight for decades.

Yes, we offer impact-rated bay windows engineered to satisfy strict performance standards for hail and wind resistance. These units feature reinforced frames, impact-resistant glass, and robust anchoring systems. While any window faces challenges during extreme weather, our storm-rated bay windows provide substantial protection for Hill Country properties.
