Start with clarity
Quotes & Pricing
What does your quote process look like?
Call us or complete our online form and tell us about your project. We may ask for photos and rough dimensions so we can prepare useful options without making you sit through a long sales presentation. Before an order is placed, our team completes a precise field measure.
Do I need to measure my own windows?
No exact measuring is required from you. Rough dimensions or photos can help us understand the project, but an experienced team member confirms the final measurements before products are ordered.
How accurate is a photo-based quote?
A photo-based quote can be quite accurate when the images and scope are clear. Pricing can change if you request different products or scope, or if concealed damage is discovered after an existing unit is removed. We explain any change before additional work begins.
Can I meet with someone in person?
Yes. We can work in person or remotely, depending on what is most comfortable and useful for you. Our process is designed to be flexible—not to force every homeowner into the same kind of appointment.

Products & Performance
What does Zen Windows replace?
We replace residential windows and doors with professionally installed products selected for comfort, efficiency, appearance, and everyday operation.
Which window brands do you offer?
Zen Windows Portland offers trusted window options from ProVia and Simonton. We help you compare styles, frame profiles, glass packages, warranties, and budgets without a high-pressure pitch.
Do you replace doors too?
Yes. We offer ProVia entry, storm, and sliding patio doors, plus Simonton sliding patio doors. We can help match the door style and performance features to your home.
Do you repair glass or individual window parts?
Our primary service is complete window and door replacement, not glass-only repair. If you are unsure whether replacement makes sense, contact us and we will help you evaluate the practical next step.
From measure to finish
Installation
What makes the Zen Windows process different?
You receive clear information, thoughtful product guidance, precise field measurement, professional installation, and local support—without a scripted, high-pressure sales presentation.
What happens if hidden wood rot or framing damage appears?
We stop, show you what was found, explain the appropriate repair, and get your approval before additional work begins. A new window or door should not be installed into a compromised opening.
Will my home need a permit?
Permit needs depend on the scope, location, and whether an opening is being altered. We identify project-specific requirements early and help coordinate the permit process when the work calls for it.
How should I prepare for installation day?
Please clear access to each opening, move fragile items nearby, and secure pets. Our team will confirm any project-specific preparation before installation.
Protection and flexibility
Payment & Warranty
Why do you not require a 50% deposit?
Our process is built to reduce risk and pressure for the homeowner. You do not make the typical large upfront deposit; payment is due when the work is complete.
Are payment options available?
Yes. Payment options may be available for qualified homeowners who prefer to spread out project costs. Review payment options or contact us for current details.
How does warranty coverage work?
Coverage combines the applicable manufacturer product warranty with Zen Windows installation and labor support. Exact coverage depends on the product and warranty terms provided with your project.

What should I look for in a window and door company?
Look for clear pricing, useful product guidance, careful measurement, professional installation, and accessible support after the project. The quote should be understandable, and you should have room to make a decision without pressure.
