Window replacement in Aurora, done right
Precise Windows LLC replaces windows for Aurora homes in every common style, measured on-site and sealed tight when they go in.
Precise Windows LLC handles window replacement across the Denver metro, and that includes new and replacement windows for Aurora homes in double-hung, casement, sliding, bay and bow, picture, awning and specialty shapes. We measure at the house, order from Andersen, Milgard, Pella, Prime or Simonton, and install with the opening sealed tight. Aurora homeowners bring us everything from a single stuck window to a full-house swap.
Do I need to replace the whole window or just fix the seal?
Not always. If only one window in your Aurora home is fogging between the panes, that's usually an isolated seal failure on that one glass unit, and a glass-only swap solves it without replacing the whole frame. It's a different story when several windows from the same installation start fogging around the same time, since that points to the whole batch reaching the end of its seal life together. On the visit, we check each affected window, look at the frames and hardware while everything is open, and measure so you can compare a glass-only fix against full window replacement.
Signs your Aurora home needs new windows
Fog trapped between the panes
Once humid air gets inside a sealed glass unit, it clouds the glass and won't wipe clean from either side. That's a broken seal, not a leak into the house, and it only gets solved by swapping the glass or the window.
A window that won't stay up
A sash that drifts shut on its own usually has a worn balance or spring inside the frame. On a bedroom window this matters for egress, so it's worth fixing or replacing soon rather than living with it.
A crack that hasn't spread yet
A cracked pane still holds for now, but it keeps growing with every swing in temperature and loses its strength well before it falls apart. Replacing it before it lets go avoids an exposed opening.
What's actually behind it
Insulated glass seals reaching the end of their life
Seals break down with age and years of temperature swings, and once one lets go the humid air trapped inside fogs the glass for good.
Worn hardware inside the frame
Balances, springs, rollers and hinges wear out from years of daily use, long before the window itself is due for replacement.
Impact or wind damage to the glass
A hard impact or wind-driven debris can crack or break glass outright, which calls for a documented inspection if there's a claim to file.
What Colorado weather means for Aurora windows
The National Insurance Crime Bureau's review of hail loss claims from 2017 through 2019 ranked Colorado second in the nation with 380,066 claims, and put Denver, with 51,887 claims, among the top five U.S. cities for hail claims. That volume of claims across the metro is part of why insulated glass units and window frames in this region take a beating over the years.
Colorado's HB22-1362 set the statewide floor at the 2021 IECC, and the U.S. Department of Energy's Building America Solution Center lists the 2021 IECC prescriptive window U-factor limit for climate zone 5, which covers the Denver metro, at 0.30. A replacement window installed in Aurora needs to meet whatever U-factor your municipality has adopted, at least that baseline.
We do the same window replacement work in Denver and Greenwood Village.
What happens during your visit
We start by checking whether the problem is isolated to one window or spread across several, since that changes whether glass-only replacement makes sense or the whole unit needs to go. We inspect the frame and weatherstripping while we're there, measure the opening precisely, and walk you through options for the glass or the full window. Most inspection visits run about 30 minutes to an hour depending on how many windows we're looking at.
What happens if you wait
A single fogged or stuck window rarely gets better on its own, and a seal that's just starting to go will fog more often and for longer as it opens up further. Worn hardware puts more strain on the frame the longer it goes unfixed, and a cracked pane keeps growing until it fails outright and leaves the opening exposed. None of that improves with time, and catching it early keeps the fix to a glass swap or a hardware repair instead of a bigger job.
How long does window replacement take in Aurora?
Most single-window replacements are a same-visit measure-and-install once the glass or unit is ready, while whole-house jobs take longer depending on how many openings are involved. The exact timeline depends on how many windows you're replacing and whether it's glass-only or full-frame work.
What window styles do you install in Aurora?
We install double-hung, casement, sliding, bay and bow, picture, awning and specialty shapes from Andersen, Milgard, Pella, Prime and Simonton. Which style makes sense depends on the opening, the room, and what's already on the house.
