Four quick questions. Most quotes come back the same day.
Andersons Bay splits into two quite different jobs depending on where the house sits. The flat around the inlet shares the high water table and damp conditions of the southern basin. The streets climbing the hill behind it are drier, get better sun, and have harbour views that mean large panes of glass facing the weather.
Two suburbs in one, priced differently
Down on the flat the priority is moisture: ventilation, ground vapour, and getting windows opening before anyone spends on glass. Up the hill it is thermal performance and, on the view elevations, big glass that needs specifying properly for wind and impact.
We quote them differently, and we will tell you which half of the suburb your house is actually in, because it is not always obvious from the street address.
Big view windows need more than a standard unit
A large fixed pane facing the inlet is doing three jobs at once: keeping weather out, carrying wind load and being the reason people bought the house. Glass thickness on those is driven by size and load rather than by what the standard unit costs, and low level glazing someone can walk into is a safety position under NZS 4223.
They also handle badly. A big sealed unit needs two people and suction gear, and on a sloping section it needs planning. That belongs in the quote.
Salt off the inlet
The inlet is sheltered compared with the open coast, but it is still salt water, and on the streets closest to it we see the same corroded stays and chalking powder coat we get at St Clair, just on a slower clock.
Marine grade hardware is worth it on the water facing side. Three streets back it is usually not necessary, and we will say so rather than adding it to every line.

Window repair in Andersons Bay: common questions
Do I need marine grade hardware near the inlet?
On the streets closest to the water, yes. Further back it is usually unnecessary and we will tell you that rather than charging for it.
Can you replace a large view window?
Yes. Large panes are made to order and need two people with suction gear. We assess access and specify the glass for size and load, not just the opening.
