The windows we see most in Edmonds
The Bowl and the blocks around it
Downtown Edmonds holds the oldest housing in the city: 1920s to 1940s bungalows, some with original single-pane wood double-hungs. We match the proportions and grids, keep the interior trim, and put insulated glass into a sound original sash where that is right.
Mid-century, the 1950s and 1960s
Ramblers and daylight basements from the postwar decades, most re-windowed once already with aluminum. Those frames conduct cold, sweat on winter mornings, and their seals are past saving. A vinyl or fiberglass unit in the same opening is the fix, and rebate eligible with electric heat.
What replacing aluminum windows actually involvesUp the hill and the view lots
Above downtown the houses are mostly 1970s and 1980s two-stories and split-levels built around a picture window aimed west. Forty years of weather off Puget Sound fails the seals in the units that take the most of it. Low-e glass cuts the glare without changing the view.
Where we work from
Our shop is at 6023 188th St SE in Snohomish, about 35 minutes from Edmonds. It is the far end of our normal range and we work it every week, often on the same run as Lynnwood. Cory measures, our own crew installs, and the quote follows within 48 hours.

Glass replacement in EdmondsEdmonds is PUD territory
Edmonds is in Snohomish County, so Snohomish County PUD supplies the electricity. Existing homes heated with electric baseboards, an electric furnace or a heat pump qualify for PUD's window rebate: $100 per window replacing single-pane glass, $50 per window replacing a double-pane frame, with new double or triple pane windows rated U-0.30 or lower and a PUD-registered contractor doing the work. Breeze Free is registered for windows. PSE supplies natural gas in parts of Edmonds, and a home heated with PSE gas falls under PSE's own window rebate instead. Glass-only work never qualifies for either. Amounts and eligibility can change, so we confirm the current program with the utility before you order.
What we install in Edmonds
In the Bowl we install double-hungs that keep the proportions of a 1920s bungalow, in vinyl or fiberglass, or insulated glass in an original sash that is sound. On the postwar ramblers we replace aluminum with vinyl inserts that finish in a day. Up the hill, the view lots get low-e glass chosen to cut glare without tinting the water, and the weather side is replaced first when the job is staged. Edmonds is Snohomish PUD electric territory, so glass at U-0.30 or lower in an electrically heated home earns the PUD rebate.

I would and will use these folks again. I have used them before and found them also recommended by PSE. They are wonderful to work with. I had to have some 119 year old windows replaced. They work wonders. Big Thanks to Breeze Free Window and Door. I appreciate how you go above and beyond.
The Breeze Free team was awesome to work with. High quality and an excellent and fair price. I shopped my replacement window job across 3 different manufacturer-certified installers and 2 different window manufacturers. Breeze Free was significantly lower install price for the exact same windows compared to another bid I received. I also used Breeze Free about 25 years ago on another home and it's great to see this family run business is going strong with the next generation of ownership.
We desperately needed new windows. 40 years old. Breeze Free did an excellent job. Very kind, professional and careful. Windows are a BIG investment and I'm grateful they did a wonderful job

Questions homeowners ask
Straight answers. Anything else, call (425) 337-6357.
Can you replace windows in an older Edmonds home without changing the look?
Yes. On a 1920s or 1930s house we match the double-hung proportions and the grid pattern, keep the interior trim where an insert fits, and can put insulated glass into an original sash when the wood is sound. Cory tells you which approach suits the house while he is measuring it.
Does Edmonds qualify for the Snohomish PUD window rebate?
Yes. Edmonds is in Snohomish County and Snohomish County PUD serves it. An existing home with permanently installed electric heat qualifies when the new windows are double or triple pane at U-0.30 or lower and a PUD-registered contractor installs them. Breeze Free is registered for windows. A home heated with PSE natural gas falls under PSE's program.
Will new glass change my view of the water?
Low-e glass reads as clear glass. It carries a coating that reflects heat, and on a west-facing picture window that is the point, because those rooms overheat in summer and lose heat in winter. You will notice the comfort and the quiet long before you notice the glass.
