Auburn Window Replacement provides professional bay and bow windows in Auburn, AL for residential and commercial properties across Lee County and east Alabama. We build these, they look wonderful, and this page is going to spend most of its length telling you why one probably does not belong on your house. What you are buying is not really a window. It is a very small addition with its own roof, and the upkeep on all of it becomes yours permanently.
Take the shapes first. A bay is three lites cranked out at an angle, normally a fixed middle with an opener either side. A bow is four, five or six equal lites curved through a gentle arc, which reads softer and gives up ventilation because more of the lites are typically fixed. Both project past the plane of the wall, and that projection is the whole problem.
Everything above the glass is a roof you now own. It has a slope, a membrane or a metal cap, a flashing joint where it meets the wall, and a head detail that has to shed water sideways past the window head. Roofs of that size are the ones nobody looks at, and in a climate this humid a neglected bay head is the most reliable way we know to rot a header.
Everything below the glass is load. The assembly has to be carried, either by knee brackets bolted through to framing, by a cantilevered platform, or by cable supports hung from above. Doing that correctly is real carpentry and it is not the part anyone shops on price. Doing it incorrectly shows up as a sagging seat and a sash that will not close in about four years.
Then there is the paperwork, and this is where a bay differs from every other page on this site. Replacing a window inside its existing opening is a permit and an inspection. Adding a projection where there was not one changes the exterior wall, and it can pull setback and separation questions into a job that was supposed to be a window swap. Ask before you fall in love with the drawing.
So when do we say yes? When you already have one and it is failing. Replacing a leaking bay is genuinely urgent work, because by the time the interior seat is stained the water has been in the wall for a while. That is a repair with a deadline, not a renovation, and we treat it that way.
The second yes is a room that is genuinely short on light and depth, where the added floor space is the point rather than the look. A bay adds usable shelf, a window seat, or a spot for a plant that will finally stop dying. If that is the reason, it is a good reason and you should get exactly what you want.
The no is the one we see most: an owner with four cracked panes, two dead balances and half the screens missing, who wants to spend the budget on a bay in the front room. Cure the list the city can act on, live with the money you saved, and buy the bay next year with a clear conscience.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — the property maintenance code adopted by city ordinance, glazing kept free of cracks and holes, sash held in position by its own hardware, sixteen mesh per inch insect screening, sash locking devices on ground-floor rented units, deadbolts with a one-inch throw at dwelling unit doors — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Auburn and nearby communities including Opelika, Phenix City, Smiths Station, Loachapoka.

Materials, equipment and how we do bay and bow windows
The difference between bay and bow windows that lasts and bay and bow windows that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with the property maintenance code adopted by city ordinance, glazing kept free of cracks and holes, sash held in position by its own hardware, sixteen mesh per inch insect screening, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Auburn job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of window work in Lee County and east Alabama means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
