Auburn Window Replacement provides professional custom window installation in Auburn, AL for residential and commercial properties across Lee County and east Alabama. Roughly half of Auburn's housing postdates 2000, so most of our custom work is not a historic sash. It is a builder's arched transom, a gable trapezoid, or a two-story stack of fixed glass that nobody can buy off a shelf.
Custom means the unit is made to your opening and to nothing else. A field-measured arch is not a catalog radius. The spring of a 2003 builder arch was set by whatever the framer cut that morning, and the half-round above it was ordered to match that cut rather than the other way around.
So the measuring visit is a different exercise. We template the opening rather than record a width and a height, and on a radius or a trapezoid that means a physical pattern taken off the frame, with the angles and the spring line recorded. Two people check it before anything is ordered. The drawing goes back to you before the order rather than after it.
Then you wait. A custom order takes materially longer than a stock unit, and the deposit is committed the moment it drops, because nobody else in Alabama can use a half-round cut to your spring line. We put the quoted lead time in writing with the date it was confirmed.
Here is the consequence buyers do not think about. If a custom unit arrives damaged, or a sealed unit fails in ten years, there is no shelf stock to pull from. The replacement is another made-to-order piece on another lead time. Buy from a line likely to still be trading, and keep the order file.
The code still reaches a shape nobody stocks. The Alabama Energy Code sets a maximum fenestration U-factor of 0.35 and a maximum solar heat gain coefficient of 0.27 in both of the state's climate zones, and its alterations chapter names replacement fenestration outright.
So ask the custom shop how your one-off will be rated. On a made-to-order size the certified label is the only proof you hold, and we photograph it with the order paperwork before anybody peels a sticker.
Auburn answers the permit question in public. The city's permit list names window replacement other than maintenance of broken glass as work needing a permit, Inspection Services issues it, and the city adopted the 2021 residential code by ordinance rather than running the state's 2015 edition. Fees run on the valuation of the work, and the published schedule doubles them when the work begins before the permit is issued.
When not to order custom: if a standard unit will fill the opening and the difference can be taken up in the stop and the trim, buy the standard unit. We have measured plenty of openings that looked odd and were simply a size the market still makes. An arch, a trapezoid or an oversized lite is custom. An inch off a catalog size is not.
Our 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.

Materials, equipment and how we do custom window installation
The difference between custom window installation that lasts and custom window installation that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with 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, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Auburn job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of window work in Lee County and east Alabama means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
