Our Window Services in Anchorage, AK
Energy Efficient Windows
Start with the number the municipality actually adopted. Chapter 23.85 of the Anchorage code replaces the residential energy tables outright, and its equivalent U-factor line for Climate Zone 7 permits a window at U-0.32.
Vinyl Windows
In warm markets vinyl is the budget choice and everyone knows it. In Anchorage it is frequently the thermally correct choice, and that difference is worth understanding before anyone talks you up a tier on the assumption that cheaper means worse.
Fiberglass Windows
The argument for pultruded fiberglass in this city is a materials argument, and it comes down to one property: the frame and the glass it holds expand and contract at close to the same rate. Very few window materials can say that, and none of the common alternatives can.
Wood-Clad Windows
Clad wood is the specification people want for the room and fear for the climate, and both instincts are correct. It deserves a straight account of where it belongs in Anchorage rather than a sales pitch or a blanket warning.
Aluminum Windows
This page argues against its own product for most houses in this city, and it is better to say so at the top than bury it. Unbroken aluminum framing is the worst residential frame material at an Anchorage design temperature, and removing it is a large part of our work.
Double-Hung Windows
A double-hung window seals by sliding, and everything difficult about using one in Anchorage follows from that sentence. It is a fine window.
Casement & Awning Windows
If one window style is built for this climate it is the compression-sealed one. A casement or awning does not rub past a seal, it clamps onto one, and that single mechanical difference is why these units test tighter than anything else on a wall.
Sliding Windows
The horizontal slider is the most common window in Anchorage's older subdivisions and the one we most often replace with something else. That is not snobbery about the style.
Bay & Bow Windows
Treat a bay or bow as a small cantilevered room hung off the side of the house rather than as a window, because in Anchorage the glass is rarely the part that gives out. The head board, the seat board and the little roof above it are.
Picture & Architectural Windows
Anchorage sells its views hard and the windows follow. Chugach front, inlet, Sleeping Lady.
Egress Windows
This is the page most likely to save you money, so read it before you get a quote from anyone. A great many Anchorage basements that look non-compliant already comply, and several that do not can be fixed without cutting concrete.
Impact & Laminated Glass
We are going to talk you out of the usual reason for buying this product. If someone has quoted you impact glazing for Anchorage storm protection, the municipality answers that question in its own adopted code, and the answer it gives is no.
Patio & Sliding Doors
In most Anchorage houses the biggest hole in the wall is a sliding patio door, closed by the weakest sealing mechanism we sell. Forty square feet of glass and a few feet of brush pile, on a wall facing a deck full of snow.
French Doors
The reason we recommend hinged doors over sliders on many Anchorage decks has nothing to do with looks. A hinged leaf closes by compressing a gasket, a sliding panel closes by rubbing past one, and at seven below that distinction decides how the door behaves.
Entry Doors
Before you spend four thousand dollars on a front door, look at what stands in front of it. If your house has an arctic entry in poor shape, fixing the vestibule will do more for the doorway than a new door, and cost less.
Window Screens
Screens are the one window component in Anchorage that spends most of the year in a garage, and that is exactly why they get neglected. They matter for about four months, and during those four months they matter a great deal.
Glass Repair & Sealed Unit Replacement
Fog between the panes is not a broken window. It is a broken sealed unit sitting inside a frame that is usually perfectly serviceable, and confusing the two is the most expensive mistake homeowners in this city make with us on the phone.
Commercial Storefront Glass
Walk past any older Anchorage retail frontage on a cold January morning and look at the mullions. The frost you see is not a failure of workmanship.

Energy Efficient Windows
Start with the number the municipality actually adopted. Chapter 23.85 of the Anchorage code replaces the residential energy tables outright, and its equivalent U-factor line for Climate Zone 7 permits a window at U-0.32. That is the legal floor for new glass in this city.

Vinyl Windows
In warm markets vinyl is the budget choice and everyone knows it. In Anchorage it is frequently the thermally correct choice, and that difference is worth understanding before anyone talks you up a tier on the assumption that cheaper means worse. Rigid PVC conducts heat poorly, and that low conductivity is the property we are actually buying here.

Fiberglass Windows
The argument for pultruded fiberglass in this city is a materials argument, and it comes down to one property: the frame and the glass it holds expand and contract at close to the same rate. Very few window materials can say that, and none of the common alternatives can. Why it counts here is the size of the annual swing.

Wood-Clad Windows

Aluminum Windows
This page argues against its own product for most houses in this city, and it is better to say so at the top than bury it. Unbroken aluminum framing is the worst residential frame material at an Anchorage design temperature, and removing it is a large part of our work. The physics is not subtle.

Double-Hung Windows
A double-hung window seals by sliding, and everything difficult about using one in Anchorage follows from that sentence. It is a fine window. It is simply working against the climate in a way a compression-sealed unit is not, and buyers deserve to know that before they choose on looks.

Casement & Awning Windows
If one window style is built for this climate it is the compression-sealed one. A casement or awning does not rub past a seal, it clamps onto one, and that single mechanical difference is why these units test tighter than anything else on a wall. The mechanism is worth picturing.

Sliding Windows
The horizontal slider is the most common window in Anchorage's older subdivisions and the one we most often replace with something else. That is not snobbery about the style. It is what the track does in a city that spends five months below freezing.

Bay & Bow Windows

Picture & Architectural Windows
Anchorage sells its views hard and the windows follow. Chugach front, inlet, Sleeping Lady. What almost nobody quoting a large fixed window here will tell you is that the standard energy argument for big south glass barely applies at sixty-one degrees north.

Impact & Laminated Glass
We are going to talk you out of the usual reason for buying this product. If someone has quoted you impact glazing for Anchorage storm protection, the municipality answers that question in its own adopted code, and the answer it gives is no.

Patio & Sliding Doors
In most Anchorage houses the biggest hole in the wall is a sliding patio door, closed by the weakest sealing mechanism we sell. Forty square feet of glass and a few feet of brush pile, on a wall facing a deck full of snow. The threshold is the specific problem.

French Doors
The reason we recommend hinged doors over sliders on many Anchorage decks has nothing to do with looks. A hinged leaf closes by compressing a gasket, a sliding panel closes by rubbing past one, and at seven below that distinction decides how the door behaves. The mechanism is worth understanding, because the seal quality of a French pair lives entirely in one component.

Entry Doors
Before you spend four thousand dollars on a front door, look at what stands in front of it. If your house has an arctic entry in poor shape, fixing the vestibule will do more for the doorway than a new door, and cost less. An arctic entry is an unheated vestibule between the outdoors and the house, and it is the oldest good idea in Alaskan building.

Glass Repair & Sealed Unit Replacement
Fog between the panes is not a broken window. It is a broken sealed unit sitting inside a frame that is usually perfectly serviceable, and confusing the two is the most expensive mistake homeowners in this city make with us on the phone. An insulated glass unit is two or three lites separated by a spacer that holds a desiccant, sealed at the perimeter and filled with argon.

What Anchorage property owners ask us
Which window services does Anchorage Window Replacement handle?
Everything listed on this page, residential and commercial, across Anchorage and Upper Cook Inlet. Work is done by our own crews rather than handed to whoever is cheapest that week, which is the only way the workmanship warranty means anything.
Can I combine more than one service in a single job?
Yes, and it is usually cheaper. Bundling window work into one mobilization saves setup, disposal and travel, and it means one crew, one schedule and one written free estimate instead of three contractors blaming each other.
Do you give free estimates for every service?
Every one. We come out, measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and put an itemized free estimate in writing with materials and scope spelled out. No charge, no deposit, and no obligation to book.
What Anchorage Customers Say
They talked me out of half of what I asked for. I wanted the whole house done and was told six openings were fine and only the north side needed replacing. The estimate listed a U-factor and a spacer type per window, which nobody else bothered to do. Second winter now with dry sills on that side.
We had ice building on the bottom of two big front windows every January. Turned out the units were fine and the humidity in the house was running near fifty percent. They fixed the worst two windows, told us what to do about the moisture, and did not try to sell the other nine.
Fogged glass in four sealed units on a fifteen-year-old fiberglass frame. Instead of quoting whole windows they measured the units and reglazed them into the existing sash with a better spacer. Cost a fraction of what the first company quoted and the frames were never the problem.
Basement bedroom for our daughter, and we were braced for cutting the foundation. They measured the existing opening, showed us the sill-height allowance in the municipal amendment, and it already made the clear opening. One permanent step and a new sash and we were done for a tenth of the budget.
