Auburn Window Replacement provides professional aluminum windows and frame reglazing in Auburn, AL for residential and commercial properties across Lee County and east Alabama. 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.
That matters more here than in most towns because Auburn's housing is young. Only about one unit in seventeen predates 1960, so the aluminum sitting in your wall is usually a nineteen seventies or eighties slider built out of heavy extrusion rather than something delicate. What has failed on it is the sealed unit, a wheel, a length of pile weatherstrip or a worn sill, and every one of those is a stocked repair item.
Be clear-eyed about the drawback, though, because it is genuine. Bare metal moves heat with enthusiasm. A frame without a break in that metal path will run cold on a January morning and collect condensation along the interior face regardless of how good the glass in it is, and it cannot be sold as new replacement fenestration under the state limits.
The fix, where you are buying new, is an insulating barrier built into the middle of the extrusion so the outside half and the inside half never touch. Done properly this is a serious high-performance product with sightlines no other material comes near. It is also priced off commercial extrusion, and on an ordinary subdivision elevation that is money spent on nothing you can see.
So the decision goes like this. Frames sound and you want better glass: reglaze and keep the appearance you already have, with no permit conversation because nothing has been replaced. Frames racked, pitted at the sill, or anchored into something soft: they come out. You specifically want slim black or bronze framing on a contemporary house: buy the insulated metal and enjoy it, because nothing else delivers that look.
Finish is the other fork and it is not a close contest on durability. An anodized surface is grown out of the metal itself as an oxide layer, so it wears down slowly instead of flaking off.
Powder coating gives you an enormous color range and a very even appearance, and it is a coating sitting on top of the substrate.
Older frames around here were nearly all delivered clear or dark bronze anodized, which is the number that counts if you are matching a few openings rather than doing the house.
One measurement to take before you accept anybody's quote. Not every old frame has a deep enough glazing pocket to receive an insulated unit, and the ones that do not simply cannot be upgraded in place. Caliper, flashlight, ten minutes. Do it at the estimate stage, because finding out during demolition is how a cheap job turns into an expensive one.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — the property maintenance code adopted by city ordinance, glazing kept free of cracks and holes, sash held in position by its own hardware, sixteen mesh per inch insect screening, sash locking devices on ground-floor rented units, deadbolts with a one-inch throw at dwelling unit doors — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Auburn and nearby communities including Opelika, Phenix City, Smiths Station, Loachapoka.
