Every Pacific Northwest homeowner knows that relentless rain, wind-driven debris, and sudden temperature swings can punish exterior windows. A compromised storm window leaks energy, invites moisture, and dulls your home’s curb appeal. CountBricks specializes in storm window repair Salem OR residents can trust, combining seasoned craftsmanship with AI-powered estimating to deliver reliable results on time and on budget.
• Drafts or cold spots near window frames
• Condensation trapped between panes
• Warped or rotten wooden sashes
• Chipped, cracked, or rattling glass
• Rising energy bills despite thermostat settings
Gently move the sash on a windy day. If you feel air movement or hear rattling, schedule an inspection at CountBricks.com/consultation before small leaks become costly structural repairs.

2. Instant Scope & Materials: The software converts speech into a line-item scope, matching real-time material costs from local Salem suppliers.
3. Blueprint Sync: If you have digital drawings, CountBricks AI takeoffs calculate quantities down to linear feet of weather-stripping and pane sizes.

Repair often wins when framing is sound and only glazing or hardware has failed. CountBricks can reglaze, reinforce muntins, and reseal gaskets for 30-50% less than full replacement.
Replacement is recommended if rot extends into structural members, lead paint remediation is necessary, or you seek upgraded low-E performance. CountBricks.com/services includes side-by-side cost comparisons to help you decide.
• Extent of Glass Damage: Single-pane swaps cost less than dual-pane gas infills.
• Frame Material: Wood requires paint and filler; aluminum may need corrosion treatment.
• Accessibility: Second-story or ladder work adds labor hours and safety equipment.
• Custom Shapes: Arched or stained-glass inserts require specialty fabrication.
• Permit Requirements: Historic districts may require architectural review, handled by CountBricks permitting staff.
Minor pane replacement: $185-$275 per unit
Full sash overhaul: $350-$600 per unit
Complete storm window replacement: $650-$1,050 per opening
These figures come straight from the CountBricks real-time cost database and adjust weekly based on local supplier feeds.
Upgrading worn weather-stripping and installing insulated glass can slash heat loss by up to 30%. Over a typical Salem heating season, that translates into hundreds saved on utility bills—payback in as little as two years. CountBricks quantifies projected savings in every quote so you know exactly when the investment turns cash-positive.
The Smith family’s 1925 bungalow had charming divided-light windows, but icy drafts drove up winter bills. CountBricks scanned the original blueprints, mapped sash dimensions, and generated a voice-to-scope estimate in just 18 minutes. Our crew replaced cracked glazing, routed new cedar stops, and applied low-VOC sealant—all while preserving the historic look. Result: a 27% drop in gas usage and a crisp, quiet living room ready for the next storm system.
• Time: DIY reglazing one window can take 4-6 hours; our crew finishes in under 90 minutes.
• Tools: Professional heat guns, quadrate cutters, and dust collection systems protect glass and occupants.
• Warranty: CountBricks backs repairs with a five-year labor guarantee and passes through all manufacturer warranties on glass.
Unless you already own specialized glazing knives and respirators, professional repair offers safer, faster, and more economical results.
• Clean tracks twice yearly with a mild detergent to prevent grit abrasion.
• Inspect caulking every spring and re-seal gaps wider than 1⁄8 inch.
• Repaint wood frames every 4-5 years with high-quality exterior acrylic.
• Open sashes on dry days to promote ventilation and reduce condensation.
1. Early Fall: Beat the rush and ensure tight seals before the first freeze.
