Tempe Window Replacement
Old aluminum and single-pane windows replaced with dual-pane units, measured, sealed and finished to the wall.
Every window replacement follows the same order: measure the opening, remove the old sash and frame, prepare the opening, set the new window level and square, insulate the gap, and seal it inside and out.
There are two ways to install. A retrofit window fits into the existing opening and leaves the stucco alone. A full-frame replacement takes the opening down to the framing, which lets us fix water damage or change the window's size.
Many Tempe homes built from the 1950s through the 1980s still have their first aluminum windows. Those frames conduct heat, the seals wear out, and the sliding tracks fill with grit, so they're the most common windows we replace.
The old aluminum frame cut free and pulled without damaging the stucco around it.

| Cost factor | What it covers | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Window size and style | Sliders, single-hung, casements, fixed picture windows, patio doors | Larger and operable windows take more material and hardware than small fixed units. |
| Frame material | Vinyl, fiberglass, thermally broken aluminum or wood-clad | Vinyl is the usual entry point; fiberglass and clad frames cost more. |
| Glass package | Dual-pane Low-E, argon fill, tint, tempered glass where code requires it | Glass tuned for west and south walls and safety glass near doors or tubs add to the unit. |
| Installation method | Retrofit into the existing opening, or full-frame to the framing | Full-frame takes more labor and stucco or drywall repair, but fixes hidden damage. |
Your price mostly comes down to the window you choose and how it's installed. We list each window and the installation method separately, so you can compare frames and glass without changing how the opening is sealed.
| Retrofit | Full-frame | |
|---|---|---|
| Old frame | Stays in place or is trimmed | Removed completely |
| Stucco and drywall | Untouched | Patched around the opening |
| Glass area | Slightly smaller | Same or larger |
| Best for | Sound frames, quick installs | Damaged frames or size changes |
It mostly comes down to the size and style of each window, the frame material, the glass package and whether it's a retrofit or full-frame install. We give a written estimate after measuring, with every window listed.
Yes. We can replace a single cracked or foggy window and match it to the others as closely as possible.
A retrofit install leaves the stucco in place. A full-frame install needs some patching around the opening, which we include in the estimate.
We haul away the old frames and glass the same day.
