Fiberglass: As a newer, more eco-friendly choice, fiberglass windows use post-consumer and recycled glass. They are strong, long lasting and more durable than aluminum or vinyl.
- Pros – Don't shrink, warp, rot, sag or succumb to termites. Glass like properties insulate and reduce air leakage.
- Cons – Up to 30% more expensive than an average vinyl window.
Vinyl: Affordable, efficient, popular and available in many colors and styles, vinyl is a common choice for Seattle windows.
- Pros – Affordable, long lasting and versatile. Paintable and stainable synthetic surfaces available in a woodgrain style. Doesn't take long to install.
- Cons – Potentially challenging when installers are not properly trained.
Wood: Wooden widows preserve the particular look of historic homes, and make use of a classic and popular material.
- Pros – Lots of potential to fit a variety of styles; rustic or elegant. Can be stained or painted to match other wood.
- Cons – Requires protectants and chemical guards to prevent weathering and insect trouble. Potentially challenging to install, and need renovation every 10-15 years.
Aluminum: Popular in the 1950s as the first wood alternative, and is still used on office buildings and other commercial locations.
- Pros – No need for paint or stain, and very durable. Also excellent at reducing noise levels.
- Cons – Poor insulators, so typically not recommended for homes.
Cellular PVC: This form of vinyl that is twice as strong and more flexible than the regular variety. Handles like wood as far as ability to be sawn or detailed.
- Pros – Unaffected by insects, moisture and warping. Less expensive than wood, and superior as far as durability and insulation are concerned.
- Cons – Any custom variation needs to be specially ordered, and it is more expensive than regular vinyl and wood.

Chris Angel4.8/5 -
I highly recommend The Glass Doctor for any glass/window repairs. We needed a new panel in our garage and they were easy to work with and did a great job!
Ryan Sheaffer4.8/5 -
We had an unusual project that required a 20” glass round to be inserted into a lazy susan. We then would place wine corks underneath the glass. Rhonda at Glass Doctor was very helpful and provided excellent customer service throughout the entire process. This was such a miniscule project for a company like Glass Doctor, but Rhonda was very encouraging and enthusiastic in advising me about this project. Love her energy and positivity! I would use Glass Doctor again in a heartbeat, and I highly recommend them for their workmanship and outstanding attitude and customer service.

We recently had ~13 window glasses installed and very happy with the service. The process was very simple, Rhonda and Chris in the office were a pleasure to talk to. We were over our budget but they accommodated our needs and made it work for us. The installers - Ulises, William, Chad and Ryan were awesome! They showed up on time, installed everything properly, were done sooner than expected and left the area clean. Will use them in the future and highly recommend.
