Window and door work in Inverness comes down to three things: salt air, steep terrain, and homes built to take advantage of a view that most people only see on postcards. Meridian Windows & Doors handles window replacement, window installation, and patio door installation throughout Inverness, with written pricing before any work starts and a 365-day guarantee on every job. Elliot Vance leads our crew, and the standard we work to has been the same since the Garrison Partners family set it in 2009: show up, do the job right, put it in writing. Call (817) 686-2228 for a free estimate.
Why Inverness Homes Are Different
Inverness sits on the Point Reyes Peninsula, wedged between Tomales Bay and the Pacific. That geography shapes every window and door decision here in ways a flatland contractor won’t always think through. Salt-laden fog rolls through on summer mornings and settles on hardware, frames, and glass. We see aluminum frames pitted by years of that exposure, and we see wood sashes swollen from winter rains that ride in sideways off the bay. The housing stock leans heavily toward redwood-sided homes from the 1960s and 1970s, many of them remodeled over the years with additions that didn’t always match the original rooflines. That means rough openings are rarely square, and a standard off-the-shelf window rarely drops in without shimming and reframing work.
Permits matter here. Marin County reviews window and door changes for coastal-zone compliance, and some Inverness properties fall within additional environmental review areas near the bay and along Sir Francis Drake Boulevard. We pull permits when the scope calls for it, and we schedule inspections so the job closes clean. The terrain also changes the logistics: narrow driveways, limited staging space, and hillside access that makes careful material handling a requirement, not a courtesy.
Our Main Inverness Services
Most Inverness calls start with one of two problems: a fog-eaten window that needs replacement, or a patio door that no longer opens when the salt air has done its work on the rollers and track. Here is how each job runs in Inverness.
Window Replacement in Inverness
Window replacement here usually means removing an original single-pane sash and putting in a double-pane unit that actually holds heat in during the winter months when the fog never burns off. We replace the full frame when rot has spread, or do a pocket replacement when the existing frame is sound. Low-E glass, a thin coating that reflects heat while letting light through, matters more on the west side of Inverness where afternoon sun hits hard even in January. Details are on the Window Replacement in Inverness page.
Window Installation in Inverness
New window installation is for additions, remodels, or whenever you’re changing the size and shape of an opening, not just swapping glass into an existing hole. In Inverness, that often means cutting into redwood siding, reframing to carry the load properly, and flashing against wind-driven rain that comes in from the bay. We coordinate with your general contractor if one is on the job, or run the full scope ourselves if you’re working directly with us. Full details are on the Window Installation in Inverness page.
Patio Door Installation in Inverness
Patio doors in Inverness take a beating from salt air and settle-out of older foundations, which means rollers bind and frames rack out of square. We install sliding and French-style patio doors, swing the opening when you want it switched, and spec door hardware that holds up to coastal exposure instead of rusting out in two seasons. We also handle the threshold and flashing details that keep winter rain from working under the door. The full scope is on the Patio Door Installation in Inverness page.

Brands We Service in Inverness
We carry and install from eight manufacturer lines, including PGT, CGI, and ViewLux, with products suited to coastal conditions. Parts are available locally, and when we spec a product, it is because that line fits the job, not because it happens to be on a shelf. See our brands for the full portfolio.

What pushes a price up in Inverness is usually access: a second-story window on a hillside lot with no flat staging area takes more labor than a ground-floor unit with a paved drive. Coastal-zone permit reviews add cost on some properties. The price you get before work starts is the price you pay; we put it in writing, and it does not move at the door.
