What we find across Chandler
Chandler had a two-decade boom. 53.3% of the housing went up between 1990 and 2009 and the median home dates to 1997, which means most of the city hit the age where sealed units fail at roughly the same time.
Ocotillo, Fulton Ranch and Sun Groves are the clearest examples. Whole streets of builder-grade dual pane installed inside a few years of each other, now twenty to thirty-five years old. When one neighbor calls us about fogging we often end up quoting two more houses on the same visit.
Campo Verde and the 1990s subdivisions are a little further along the same curve and behave the same way.
Downtown Chandler and the streets around Dr. Chandler’s original townsite are the exception. There is still single pane glass in aluminum frames there, and in stock sizes we usually cut and fit it the same day rather than ordering it.
The Island runs more water frontage than the rest of the city, which means more large fixed panes facing it. Those are made to a template and take the same five to seven days as any custom unit.
On the commercial side, Chandler is the only city we serve where manufacturing is the largest employment sector, at 20,190 people. The Price Corridor and West Chandler hold several hundred businesses between them, and storefront and entry door glass along there is regular work.
