AfterWindow Company in Davis, CA
Meridian Windows & Doors handles window replacement, window installation, and patio door installation for Davis homeowners. Most single-window replacements in Davis run $600 to $1,400 installed, and patio doors typically land between $2,500 and $4,500. The pricing difference from Sacramento or Dixon comes from two things: older mid-century homes with odd rough openings, and the flat, sun-blasted terrain that makes western and southern exposures a real heat factor. Call (817) 686-2228 and we’ll give you a written number before any work starts.
Why Davis Homes Are Different
Davis housing stock splits into a few distinct eras, and each one changes how a window or door job goes. The older central neighborhoods – around Central Davis, Old East Davis, and the streets near UC Davis – hold a lot of 1950s and 1960s ranch homes. Those houses have original wood-framed windows with rough openings that are rarely square anymore. The crew shims, flushes, and levels every unit, and we write the opening measurements on the job sheet before the order goes to the manufacturer.
Newer subdivisions like Mace Ranch, Wildhorse, and Aspen have more uniform construction, but they face a different challenge: unrelenting western exposure in the summer. Average July highs sit in the mid-90s, and a west-facing wall in Wildhorse takes direct low-angle heat for six hours straight. That’s why we spec low-E glass (a thin coating that reflects heat while letting light through) on nearly every west and south-facing unit in Davis. It is not an upsell. It is the right product for the site.
Davis also enforces California Title 24 energy requirements, and some neighborhoods have design-review or covenant language on window styles. We pull the permit when one is required, and the written quote covers it. No surprises at inspection time.
Our Main Davis Services
Most calls from Davis homeowners come down to two things: replacing aging windows that no longer seal or operate, and installing new units during remodels. Here is what each job looks like in Davis.
Window Replacement in Davis
Replacement work in Davis usually means pulling out 30-to-60-year-old aluminum or wood units and setting new ones into the existing openings. We see a lot of failed seals in the older central neighborhoods, where the original dual-pane units have gone foggy and the frames have gone loose in their rough openings. The replacement process includes removing the old unit, prepping the opening, setting the new unit level and square, flashing it, and sealing both interior and exterior. For a complete breakdown of options and Davis-specific pricing, see our Window Replacement in Davis page.
Window Installation in Davis
New window installation happens when the rough opening itself is changing: an addition, a wall reconfiguration, or a remodel that moves windows to a new position. Davis has a fair amount of this in the older ranch homes getting kitchen and bedroom additions. The carpentry work is more involved, and we coordinate with the general contractor on load path and flashing details before the unit gets ordered. Our Window Installation in Davis page covers the full new-construction and remodel installation process, including what the crew does on site and how the permit piece works.
Patio Door Installation in Davis
Patio doors in Davis take a beating from direct afternoon sun. Sliding glass doors on west-facing family rooms get hot enough that the frame expands and the rollers wear out faster than they would in a coastal climate. We install hinged and sliding patio doors, and we pay attention to threshold height and drainage, because Davis gets real winter rain and a slab that slopes toward the house is a call you do not want to ignore. See our Patio Door Installation in Davis page for product options and installed pricing.

What pushes a Davis job higher than the baseline: rot in the rough opening, unusual sizing in older central Davis homes, and title 24-driven upgrades on west-facing walls. What does not push it higher, ever, is a change order we spring on you after the work begins. The price goes on paper before we start.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Davis
We work across the city, from the older streets of Central Davis and Old East Davis to the planned developments in Mace Ranch, Wildhorse, and Aspen. Scheduling works around two things: school-year traffic near UC Davis, and the mid-day heat that makes exterior trim work more comfortable early morning and late afternoon.
