Tempe Window Replacement FAQ

Most single windows are swapped in a few hours, and a typical house is finished in one to two days of installation. Replacement windows are built to your measurements, so waiting for the order to arrive is usually the longest part. You get a schedule with your written estimate.

It depends on the scope. Putting a new window in the same opening is simpler than enlarging an opening or adding a door. Tempe's Building Safety division says minor single-family projects may qualify for over-the-counter permitting, and we confirm what your project needs before ordering.

Dual-pane glass with a Low-E coating is the standard choice. For west and south walls, look for a low Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC), which means less of the sun's heat passes through the glass.

Many Tempe HOAs review exterior changes such as frame color or grid patterns. Same-color, same-style replacements often go through quickly, and we give you the product details to submit.

Most single windows go in within a few hours, and a typical house is finished in one to two days once the windows arrive. Custom sizes and colors are made to order, so the wait for delivery is usually the longest part.

New sashes, weather stripping and a fresh seal to the stucco close the gaps old aluminum sliders leave. Dual-pane glass also cuts outside noise noticeably compared with single-pane.
