Transform a Room with a Bay or Bow Window
Bay and bow windows project outward from the exterior wall of your home, creating an alcove of space inside and adding significant visual interest to the exterior. A bay window typically consists of three windows arranged at angles — usually a large picture window flanked by two smaller units — creating a classic architectural feature perfect for living rooms, dining rooms, and master bedrooms.
A bow window is similar but uses four, five, or six windows of equal size arranged in a gentle curve, producing a more sweeping, rounded look. Both configurations dramatically increase natural light, expand your interior view, and create a unique architectural focal point that significantly boosts curb appeal and resale value.
Every bay and bow window we install is custom-built to fit your specific opening. Our team handles the full scope of the project — including the structural support, roofing, seat board, and interior finish work — so the result is a complete, polished bay window installation or bow window installation, not just a window dropped into a hole.

“We often learn that "parts are no longer available for that model", or that something cannot be repaired or repair costs are excessive. How nice to deal with a company that does what it says, when it says, and whose guarantee is good. We gladly recommend Suburban Construction, based on our 9 years experience with the people and their window products.”
