Every Window Service We Offer in Auburn, AL

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. Start with what the state actually requires.

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. A welded vinyl frame with the color mixed through the compound does that by sitting there.

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. On an aluminum-skinned exterior the contract costs you nothing for the life of the building.

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. Metal frames from the seventies routinely pass all three, and putting new glass into one you already own costs a fraction of buying a window.

A window that will not stay up is the single most common thing we get called about in this county, and it is also, word for word, a maintenance code violation. The text says every window other than a fixed one shall be easily openable and capable of being held in position by window hardware. That is a hardware standard, not a window standard, and the distinction is worth several hundred dollars to you.

There is one thing a crank window does that nothing else can, and it is worth understanding because it decides where these belong and where they do not. Closing the sash pulls it inward against a gasket that runs the whole way around the opening, so the seal gets tighter the further you turn the handle. Everything else about a casement follows from that.

Somebody is going to try to sell you impact windows in Lee County on the back of the 2019 tornado, and we would like to get in front of that.

French doors are the upgrade people ask for by name, and they are also the assembly that generates the most callbacks per unit sold.

Two things happen to glass and people confuse them constantly, which is unfortunate because one of them is a code violation with a deadline and the other one is entirely cosmetic. The first is a crack or a hole. The maintenance code says glazing materials shall be maintained free from cracks and holes, full stop, and that is a defect a codes officer can and will write up.

Commercial glazing here is a different job with different rules, and the first thing to understand is that the licensing changes underneath you as the number gets bigger. Residential work in Alabama is governed by the Home Builders Licensure Board once the undertaking passes ten thousand dollars. The general contractor board is a separate body with a separate threshold that now sits at one hundred thousand dollars, and it explicitly exempts private dwellings.

Everything listed on this page, residential and commercial, across Auburn and Lee County and east Alabama. Work is done by our own crews rather than handed to whoever is cheapest that week, which is the only way the workmanship warranty means anything.

Yes, and it is usually cheaper. Bundling window work into one mobilization saves setup, disposal and travel, and it means one crew, one schedule and one written free estimate instead of three contractors blaming each other.

Every one. We come out, measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and put an itemized free estimate in writing with materials and scope spelled out. No charge, no deposit, and no obligation to book.
