Yes, we can install new windows in locations where none currently exist as part of our Design Build Services. Because we operate as a full-service design-build firm, we manage the entire lifecycle of such a project—from the initial structural design to the final professional walkthrough.
Installing a window in a new location involves several critical steps that we handle on your behalf:
- Design and Engineering: We determine the best placement for natural light and energy efficiency while ensuring the structural integrity of your home remains intact.
- Permitting and Codes: Denver and Centennial require building permits for projects that alter the size or location of window openings. We manage all permit applications and coordinate with local authorities to ensure your project meets the 2021 IECC and local amendments.
- Climate-Specific Selection: For Denver’s high-altitude environment, we recommend high-altitude glass windows and fiberglass frames. These materials are specifically engineered to withstand intense UV radiation and extreme temperature swings.
- Code Compliance: We ensure that new installations, particularly in basements, meet all necessary egress requirements and safety standards.
Estimates are preliminary and subject to change after site inspection and a full scope review. Project outcomes and timelines may vary based on site conditions, permitting, material availability, and unforeseen issues. Permit, inspection, and fee requirements vary by jurisdiction and may affect schedule and cost. Please consult a licensed contractor for definitive advice; verify licensure with the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA).
Let us help you get your project started.
