What matters for a window job here.

48% of Albany homes predate 1980, and 19% predate 1960. In the historic districts, the job is matching what is there. Everywhere else, it is replacing aluminum and early vinyl windows that have reached the end of their life.

  • 48%

    Built before 1980

    Paint from before 1978 can contain lead, and window work disturbs it. Oregon requires a Lead-Based Paint Renovation license and lead-safe practices for that work. Ask any installer to show you theirs.

  • 7%

    Built before 1940

    Old-growth wood windows in good shape are often worth repairing. We look at the wood, the glass, and how it operates, and we will tell you when repair is the better call.

  • Historic homes

    Exterior changes to homes in Albany's historic districts, including Monteith and Hackleman, need historic review. The city has approved same-size wood replacement windows at staff level. Switching to a different material goes to the Landmarks Commission. Buildings built after 1945 are generally exempt.

Questions fromAlbany.

Straight answers.

Do I need a permit to replace windows in Albany?
Usually not. Oregon's residential code exempts door and window replacement from permits unless a structural member changes, like making an opening bigger, or the opening has to be fire rated. The new windows still have to meet the energy code. Historic homes in Albany have their own review, covered above.
Is lead paint a concern in Albany homes?
It can be. 48% of Albany homes were built before 1980, and paint from before 1978 can contain lead. Window work disturbs painted surfaces, so in Oregon a contractor working on a pre-1978 home must hold a Lead-Based Paint Renovation license from the Construction Contractors Board and follow lead-safe practices. Ask any installer to show you theirs.
Are there rebates for new windows in Albany?
Not many right now. Energy Trust of Oregon discontinued its window incentive for Oregon homes on January 1, 2026, and the federal 25C tax credit does not cover windows installed after 2025. If anyone quotes you a rebate, ask to see it in writing. If your power comes from a city-owned or co-op utility, ask them directly.
Do you charge to come out to Albany?
No. The consultation is free, in your home, on your schedule. We look at every window and door, measure, walk you through the options, and leave you with a written, itemized quote.
