    Thanks - we really like it too, even more so after the remodel as there's a window seat underneath it. WindowFellas did the replacement skywall window, essentially into the existing space. We asked them to make the sill a little lower but to avoid the existing socket below - we didn't want the expense of electrical work.


    They built a new wood frame to replace the old four-panel arrangement (see photo). The beam dividing the angled "roof" window from below had to be larger to support the added weight but otherwise there was no change to the wall or roof tiles above. You can see the old arrangement below and if you look at my remodeling pictures (from one year later) you can see how it looked with the new window seat.


    In an area with lots of gray winter days, this window is a wonderful source of natural light in the kitchen/breakfast area.

    I'm in Seattle area, reach out to WindowFellas last week. They provided a quote for only glass replacement.

    Are you able to share the approx cost for whole frame replacement?


    We are seeing rotten siding below the frame. See attached for reference.
