Every post here answers a question Auburn property owners actually ask before they hire anyone — what work costs, which materials are worth the upcharge, how long a job really takes, and the shortcuts that look fine for two years and then do not.

The writing comes from the same people doing the work in Auburn, AL and Lee County and east Alabama, which is why the numbers are specific and the advice sometimes tells you not to spend money.

Energy-Efficient Windows and Solar Control Glass in Auburn — Here is the part that costs people money in this county: the ENERGY STAR sticker sold to most of America is not the one that belongs on your house. The label is zoned, and a unit built for the northern zone is allowed a solar heat gain figure two and a half times what Alabama will accept.
Vinyl Replacement Windows in Auburn — Vinyl is the correct buy for most of the openings in this county, and the reason has nothing to do with the brochure. The maintenance code says a frame must stay in sound condition and weather tight.
Fiberglass and Composite Window Frames in Auburn — Most of the time, this page ends with us recommending something cheaper. Fiberglass really is the better-engineered frame, and on the average Auburn house that advantage buys you nothing a codes officer, a tenant or your power bill will ever register.
Wood and Clad-Wood Windows in Auburn — The maintenance code sentence that governs this decision is eleven words long: every window, skylight, door and frame shall be kept in sound condition, good repair and weather tight. Read it as a contract you sign when you buy the product, because that is what it is.
Aluminum Windows and Frame Reglazing in Auburn — Before you replace an aluminum window, check whether you need to. The maintenance code asks three things of a window: that the frame be sound and weather tight, that the glazing carry no cracks or holes, and that a non-fixed sash open easily and stay put.
