Window replacement in Birmingham

If your Birmingham house was built before 1978, a window job starts with paperwork to the state. Alabama runs its own lead-safe renovation program through the Alabama Department of Public Health; it's one of the states EPA has authorized to do that.

The certified firm has to send ADPH a project notification at least seven working days before regulated renovation work on a pre-1978 home begins. ADPH says the form goes in whether or not lead paint is actually present. The form also asks for the firm's Alabama renovation certification number and the name of the accredited renovator assigned to your job.

That reaches a lot of houses here. About one in five homes in the Birmingham metro was built before 1960, and about 46 percent before 1980. Pulling an old window means prying off painted stops and trim, and that disturbs paint.

So build that notice period into your plan. A crew that's free tomorrow still can't start a regulated job on your house until the notice period runs out.

Questions homeowners ask

How accurate is a photo estimate?
It’s a ballpark, not a quote. A photo shows us the window type and material, but a local pro who measures each opening will always be more precise. Use our number as the range to expect before you start calling around.
How is window replacement priced?
Mostly by the window — the number of windows times a per-window price for the material and size. Tell us how many you’re replacing and we’ll do the math.
What if I only photograph one window?
That’s fine for the per-window price, but we can’t count your whole house from one photo. Pop in how many windows you want done and the ballpark gets a lot tighter.
Is this really free?
Yes. No signup, no credit card, no spam. We only make money if you choose to connect with a local pro — and that’s up to you.
What photo works best?
A clear shot of a typical window — inside or out — plus a note on how many you’re replacing.
