Commercial glass in Tuscaloosa splits along the same line the houses do, and the split is again about what the wall is made of rather than what the glass costs. Downtown and along the older Northport blocks, the storefronts sit in load-bearing masonry. The glazing was set into a formed opening with a steel lintel above and a stone or brick sill below, and the aluminum system was fitted to whatever the masons left.

For most brick houses in this county, vinyl is the right answer, and we say so knowing full well that it is the cheapest option available. The wall is the reason, not your budget. Behind a brick veneer the window sits in a wood frame with the veneer built up around it and a brick mold casing bedded into the mortar.

Clad-wood belongs on a short list of Tuscaloosa openings, and the list is defined by what the exterior wall will let us build behind the cladding.

A broken lite behind otherwise working hardware is an errand for a glazing shop, and we will give you a name. What this page takes on is glass for openings framed, rebuilt or altered, which in Tuscaloosa still often means a wall put back after 2011. Rebuilt walls are the easiest glass to get right and the easiest to get wrong, because everything gets decided on paper before anybody can measure.

Casements are the one style where our usual advice reverses. In a brick-veneer opening a casement loses so much glass to a pocket insert that we would rather you did the job properly or not at all. The arithmetic is simple and unkind.

Our stock is brick veneer built up around the original frames, with a steel lintel angle carrying the brick over the opening. Custom work in Tuscaloosa starts there, because the opening is a masonry fact before it is a measurement. The request we get most is more glass: a single oversized fixed lite where three small sashes used to be, or a tall stair window on a gable.

Double pane is the standard, and nobody should charge you for the news. Every replacement window quoted in Tuscaloosa is two sealed lites. Someone phoning about double pane generally wants an ordinary modern window, or has one that clouded over and wants options.

Egress work in Tuscaloosa County is rarely the basement job people expect. Most houses here sit on a slab or a crawlspace, so the openings that fail are in converted attics, additions and rooms that were called bedrooms without ever meeting the rule. The rule itself is worth stating plainly.

Fiberglass has two clear homes in this county. The review districts, where bare vinyl is excluded from the approved materials list and fiberglass is on it, and the post-2011 rebuild walls, where a full-frame install is possible and a stiffer frame stops being wasted. Pultrusion draws glass strand and resin through a heated die to a constant section.

A hinged pair is the least forgiving door you can put in a masonry opening. It needs a level sill, a head that does not move, and jambs that stay parallel, and a brick-veneer wall of a certain age does not always offer all three. The failure is easy to recognize once you know it.

On a brick-veneer insert you have already paid for the window in glass area. The coating is the one specification left that costs you none of it, which makes it the best value on a Tuscaloosa order and the least understood line on the quote.

The most useful document on an association's window project is not a quote. It is a survey: every opening on the property typed, located and graded, so a board can see what has to be spent and in which year. That matters because failures are not spread evenly.

Sliders are everywhere in the 1970s ranch stock across Tuscaloosa County, and in the houses near campus that have been rented for a generation. They are also the style people replace most often without ever needing to. The reason is that a slider fails at the bottom, where you can see it.

Glass at street level is broken by objects, not by weather, and in this city the objects are seasonal. Furniture moves in August and out again in May, and a great deal of it goes past a shopfront on the way. The damage repeats in the same positions every year.

Everything listed on this page, residential and commercial, across Tuscaloosa and Tuscaloosa County and the Black Warrior valley. 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.

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.

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.
