Aurora CO Window Replacement provides professional aluminum windows in Aurora, CO for residential and commercial properties across the east Denver metro. Aurora has an enormous stock of mill-finish aluminum sliders, and most of the calls we get about them start with water on the sill in February rather than with a heating bill.
The census data explains why. American Community Survey table B25034 puts 39,469 of Aurora's roughly 160,000 housing units in the 1980s and another 31,248 in the 1970s, which is more of the city than everything built since 1990 combined. That two-decade band is the aluminum era, and a great deal of it is still in service with the original frames.
An untreated aluminum frame is a straight thermal path from the room to the outside. On a January morning here the interior face of that frame can sit below the dewpoint of the room air, so water condenses on the metal, runs down, and pools where the sash meets the sill. Owners read that as a leak. It is a metal frame behaving the way metal behaves.
That is why we almost never put residential aluminum back in a house. The replacement conversation is vinyl or fiberglass, and the argument is not efficiency in the abstract but the puddle. A thermal break helps, and a modern polyamide strut in a commercial frame is a serious piece of engineering, but the residential price for that performance rarely makes sense.
Where aluminum stays the right answer is commercial and light industrial, and Aurora has plenty of both along the Havana Street corridor and out toward the airport. Thermally broken aluminum takes the abuse of a door-adjacent opening, holds a large lite without a fat frame, and can be anodized or finished to a specification a property manager can hold you to.
Altitude touches aluminum work differently than it touches vinyl. Aluminum barely moves compared with the glass in it, so when a sealed unit at this elevation bows, the frame does not flex with it and the load lands squarely on the sealant bead. On large aluminum-framed lites here we want a thicker glazing pocket and a capillary tube specified, not a gas fill.
Repairs are often the honest recommendation. A 1978 aluminum slider with a failed roller and a torn weatherstrip can be made to run properly for a fraction of a replacement, and if the glass is single-pane clear, adding a good interior storm panel and fixing the rollers may be all the building needs for several more years.
When we do replace them, the old aluminum frames come out whole rather than being covered over. A retrofit frame set on top of a corroded aluminum jamb hides the problem and shrinks the daylight opening by an inch or more on each side, which on a bedroom window can quietly drop the escape opening below the area the city inspects against. That is worth checking before you buy an insert.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — capillary tube vented into the glazing pocket, polyisobutylene primary seal at the spacer edge, silicone secondary seal on a dual-seal unit, molecular sieve desiccant in the spacer channel, soft-coat low-emissivity layer on the third surface, insulating glass sealed at Front Range elevation — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Aurora and nearby communities including Centennial, Parker, Commerce City, Brighton.

Materials, equipment and how we do aluminum windows
The difference between aluminum windows that lasts and aluminum windows that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with capillary tube vented into the glazing pocket, polyisobutylene primary seal at the spacer edge, silicone secondary seal on a dual-seal unit, molecular sieve desiccant in the spacer channel, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Aurora job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of window work in the east Denver metro means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Aurora Chooses Aurora CO Window Replacement
- ✓The elevation of your address goes on the glass order. This city runs from about 5,200 feet along Sand Creek to over 6,200 feet at the south line, and sealed units should be ordered knowing which.
- ✓Argon is quoted as a trade rather than an upgrade. If a unit needs a capillary tube to stay flat at this elevation, the tube vents the gas, so we take the gas off the price instead of charging for it.
- ✓We will tell you when a noise is normal. Manufacturers state that glass deflection at altitude can cause check-rail interference and audible sounds, and that is not a defect you should be paying to replace.
- ✓Glass-only replacement is offered first whenever the frame, the sash and the hardware are sound, because a fogged unit in a good window is a part, not a project, and it costs a fraction of a replacement.
