Do I need a building permit?
Permit requirements vary by individual city. If permits are needed, we will obtain the permits. If there is a charge, you will be billed only for the permit charge. East County Glass can consult and recommend proper windows based on county, city, and government fire, safety, and building codes. If you own an older home, these requirements may have changed since your home was built.
How long will it take?
Typical installation for residential jobs is less than three days. For example, a home with 8 windows and one patio door can be completed in one day.
Will you remove and re-hang my window coverings?
Normally this is done by the homeowner, however, if you have special circumstances, please discuss this with your estimator.
What happens if it takes more than one day?
We will remove and install only the windows we can finish in a day so you are not left with an opening for the night. All openings will be sealed prior to our departure for the evening.
Do I have to re-paint my walls inside or outside?
No. On retrofit applications, our process includes new window trim that is only slightly larger than your old trim, so there is no need to repaint.
What if there is rock or brick trim on the outside of my home?
No problem! We cover the old aluminum window frame and your rock or brick remains in tact.
Do I have to replace my windows with the same style window?
No. Our consultant can work with you to determine the best styles for your home. For example, some people like to change from sliding patio doors to French doors, or from single-hung windows to sliding windows, or designer styles. We can also recommend glass for energy savings, sound reduction, and heat radiation.
