Medford Window Replacement provides professional wood and clad-wood windows in Medford, OR for residential and commercial properties across the Bear Creek Valley. Roughly 3,500 housing units inside Medford city limits were built in 1939 or earlier, and Jacksonville and the older streets off Ashland's plaza add plenty more. On those houses the window is part of the architecture, and a flat white slider in the hole is a visible mistake.
Clad wood is the compromise that usually wins: a wood interior you can stain to match existing casing, wrapped outside in extruded aluminum that takes the ultraviolet load off it. Note the word extruded. Roll-formed cladding is thinner stock, takes a dent from a ladder leg, and its corner joints are the place where water eventually gets behind the wood.
Bare wood exteriors are still right on a small number of houses and we will build them. What we will not do is put an unclad wood sash on a west-facing wall with no eave above it. The August sun off that side of the valley has the finish chalking within about four summers, and after that it is your job every spring, forever.
Divided lights are where the money quietly goes. True divided lights with individual sealed units are the real thing and are priced like it. Simulated divided lights with an internal spacer bar and applied exterior grilles read correctly from the sidewalk at a fraction of the cost, and on most houses here we recommend them without any embarrassment at all.
Before any of this we look hard at what you already own. A single-glazed fir sash with wavy glass and functioning weights is a repairable object, and reglazing it plus a well-fitted interior storm panel often beats replacement on cost, on character and on heat. That is a real service we sell, not a rhetorical concession offered to seem reasonable.
The ventilating math changes with heritage stock too. An original double-hung opens at the top and the bottom, which is a purge path a modern casement retrofit gives up entirely. Swapping to a fixed picture unit with one small flanker looks handsome in a photograph and can quietly cut a bedroom's openable area below what the code asks of it.
Lead is not optional on this stock. Any house built before 1978 is treated as containing lead-based paint unless it has been tested, and cutting a painted sash out of its opening is one of the highest-dust operations in residential work. Plastic containment, a HEPA vacuum, sealed waste and a verified cleanup are how that job runs and what it is quoted as.
If your house sits inside a local historic overlay, the design review calendar governs your project rather than the manufacturer's lead time. We will tell you what the review is likely to accept before you fall in love with a particular product, because reordering a whole elevation after a denial is the expensive way to learn how that process works.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — net free ventilating area measured after the insect mesh, a high-openness mesh chosen for airflow rather than price, compression gasket pulled tight by a multi-point lock, block-and-tackle balances that hold a sash where you leave it, soft-coat low-emissivity coating placed on the second surface, a warm-edge spacer replacing the aluminum one that failed — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Medford and nearby communities including Ashland, Central Point, Grants Pass, Eagle Point.

Materials, equipment and how we do wood and clad-wood windows
The difference between wood and clad-wood windows that lasts and wood and clad-wood windows that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with net free ventilating area measured after the insect mesh, a high-openness mesh chosen for airflow rather than price, compression gasket pulled tight by a multi-point lock, block-and-tackle balances that hold a sash where you leave it, 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 Medford 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 the Bear Creek Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Medford Chooses Medford Window Replacement
- ✓Every proposal carries a net free ventilating area figure for each room, after the screen, because that is the number a replacement window quietly takes away and nobody else prints it.
- ✓We specify two ways in one house: the openings you want largest for the overnight purge, and the openings you want tightest for the weeks the valley is full of smoke.
- ✓We count the residential code's openable fraction before we change any operator, since swapping a slider for a fixed unit with a flanker can put a bedroom under it without touching the glass area.
- ✓Solar control is chosen wall by wall against the afternoon, so the elevation looking at Roxy Ann gets a different coating from the shaded north side of the same house.
