What we find across Phoenix
Phoenix has the widest spread of housing eras of any city in the state, from 36 designated historic districts with periods of significance running from 1880 to 1966, through to the 2.0% of the stock built since 2020. The median home dates to 1985 and the 1970s are the largest single decade at 18.6%.
That means no single answer covers the city, and the village or district you are in tells us more than the city name does.
Willo, Coronado, Encanto-Palmcroft, F.Q. Story, Roosevelt, Garfield and Phoenix Homesteads are the historic core. Original wood and steel sash is common, it needs different handling from aluminum, and where a district has rules about what can be changed we work within them. Tell us the district when you call.
Maryvale and the 1950s and 60s tract housing on the west side run heavily to single pane in aluminum frames. Stock sizes we usually cut and fit the same day.
The 1970s and 80s belt across Camelback East and North Mountain is where first-generation dual pane sits. Those seals are thirty-five to forty-five years old now and fogging there is routine.
Deer Valley and Laveen are newer, and the calls from both are more often impact damage, rollers and screens than seal failure.
Our shop is at 4202 E Elwood St, just south of Sky Harbor, which is inside the city. Phoenix is the shortest run we make and the one where we can most often turn a job around the same day.
