Your Independencehome.

What matters for a window job here.

48% of Independence homes were built since 2000, mostly with vinyl windows that need glass and seal work more than a new look. The other half is older. 26% went up in the 1960s and 70s, and the homes near downtown are older still.

  • 34%

    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.

  • 5%

    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

    Downtown and the older blocks around it make up the Independence Historic District, listed on the National Register in 1989, with about 250 buildings. National Register listing by itself does not set local rules, so before we quote a home in the district, we confirm with the city what review applies.

Questions fromIndependence.

Straight answers.

Do I need a permit to replace windows in Independence?
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 Independence have their own review, covered above.
Is lead paint a concern in Independence homes?
It can be. 34% of Independence 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 Independence?
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 Independence?
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.
