Window replacement in Dayton

In Dayton's historic districts, the letters on the zoning map decide how much review a window job gets. The city's zoning code sorts work into minor and major modifications. Repairing or replacing windows is minor. Building, changing or removing a window opening is major, and so is any exterior change that needs a city permit.

An HD-2 district reviews both kinds, so even a straight window swap there needs a Certificate of Appropriateness. An HD-1 district reviews only the major list, which includes any change to a window opening. HD-3 is for single landmark properties and only reviews demolition. The Preservation Officer and the Landmark Commission judge the work against the federal Secretary of the Interior's standards and the city's own Blueprint for Rehabilitation. The zoning map shows which label, if any, your address carries.

All of this touches a lot of houses because Dayton's housing is old. About two-thirds of Dayton's houses went up before 1960, and 85 percent before 1980, Census data show.

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.
