Ontario Window Replacement provides professional bay and bow window replacement in Ontario, CA for residential and commercial properties across the West End of the Inland Empire. Replacing a bay costs what it costs because of the carpentry, not the glass. What projects off your wall is a framed box with a roof, a seat and a support system, and all four of those age faster than the glazing sitting in them.
A bay projects on angled side lites, usually thirty or forty five degrees, with a fixed center and two operating flankers. A bow curves through four, five or six equal lites and reads softer from the street. Both carry a head board, a seat board, a small roof, and their own flashing. Both need support, either a cable system hung from the framing above or knee braces underneath.
That support is where old ones fail. We are regularly called to a bay in an Ontario ranch house that has dropped a quarter inch at the outer corner, and the homeowner thinks the window is broken. The window is fine. The cables have stretched or the seat framing has rotted where the little roof was never flashed properly at the wall. Replacing the glass without fixing that guarantees the same call in five years.
The other failure is that roof. Bay roofs are small, low slope, and almost always the least carefully built part of a house. Water gets behind the head flashing, tracks down the wall cavity, and appears somewhere that looks nothing like the bay. We open and inspect that detail before quoting, and if it needs work, the roof line and the window line are separate items on the estimate.
Pricing is not comparable to ordinary windows and you should be suspicious of anyone who quotes it as though it were. The unit itself is one line. Structural support, seat and head board finishing, roofing and flashing, insulation of the seat cavity, and interior trim are all their own lines. On most of these jobs the carpentry is a larger share than the glass.
Commercially this shape barely exists, and where it does it is a bowed or faceted storefront corner rather than a residential bay, engineered as part of the framing system with its own structural drawings. That is a specified job with an architect involved, priced entirely differently, and it does not belong in the same conversation as the bay on the front of a house.
There is a real alternative we raise every time. If the existing bay is failing structurally and the seat is not being used for anything, closing the projection and installing a large flat picture unit with operating flankers is often less money, permanently ends the leak risk, and gains you interior floor space. Some people love their window seat and that is a fine reason to keep it. Many people have not sat in it since 2009.
When we do build one, the seat cavity gets insulated and air sealed properly, which almost none of the originals were. That single detail is why old bays are cold in January and hot in August, and it costs almost nothing to do right while the opening is already apart.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — center-set aluminum storefront framing in 1-3/4 by 4-1/2 inch profiles, dry-glazed EPDM gaskets and wet-glazed structural silicone joints, subsill flashing with end dams under storefront base members, tempered and heat-strengthened lites carrying CPSC 16 CFR 1201 labels, aluminum entrance doors with the 10 inch ADA bottom rail, offset pivots, top jamb closers and concealed vertical rod exit devices — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Ontario and nearby communities including Chino, Chino Hills, Montclair, Upland.

Materials, equipment and how we do bay and bow window replacement
The difference between bay and bow window replacement that lasts and bay and bow window replacement that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with center-set aluminum storefront framing in 1-3/4 by 4-1/2 inch profiles, dry-glazed EPDM gaskets and wet-glazed structural silicone joints, subsill flashing with end dams under storefront base members, tempered and heat-strengthened lites carrying CPSC 16 CFR 1201 labels, 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 Ontario 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 West End of the Inland Empire means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Ontario Chooses Ontario Window Replacement
- ✓Two estimating methods, and the quote says which one you are reading. Residential is per opening. Commercial is glazed square foot plus framing linear foot, with the after-hours premium shown on its own line instead of buried in a unit price.
- ✓We hold the CSLB C-17 glazing classification, the one that covers commercial glass. A great deal of residential window work in this region is sold by outfits that cannot legally glaze your storefront, and they rarely volunteer that.
- ✓Warranty documents are never merged. A house gets the manufacturer's residential terms. A commercial opening gets the commercial terms, which are shorter, and we would rather explain why now than have you find out in year eleven.
- ✓Permit path stated before you sign. Residential retrofit is usually over the counter. Commercial can mean plan check, an accessibility review of the path of travel, and an inspection sequence that quietly decides your schedule.
