Windows in Wheat Ridge, CO

Energy-efficient replacement windows engineered for Wheat Ridge's big day-night temperature swings, high-altitude UV, and downslope wind, installed to manufacturer spec by a family-owned Front Range crew.

Drive through almost any older Wheat Ridge neighborhood and you'll find brick ranches still wearing their original single-pane windows. On the homes across Applewood Villages, The Barths, and Fruitdale, those decades-old units sweat in winter, bake in summer, and do almost nothing to slow the heat moving through the glass. With Wheat Ridge sitting right on the Front Range west of Denver, the temperature can swing sharply from afternoon to night, and old single panes simply can't keep up. The result is cold drafts in January, rooms you can't cool in July, and a furnace and AC that run far harder than they should.

CR Custom Exteriors replaces those tired windows with energy-efficient double- and triple-pane units built specifically for this climate: Low-E coatings to cut the intense high-altitude UV that fades floors and furniture, argon-filled glass to hold the temperature you paid for, and frames sealed and flashed to keep downslope wind and water out of the wall. We size and detail every install to fit older Applewood Place, Fireside at Applewood, and Bel Aire homes rather than forcing a new-construction template. As a family-owned, licensed and insured Owens Corning Platinum Preferred contractor with 10+ years on the Front Range, we install to manufacturer spec and handle egress and code requirements the right way.

Common questions

Are double-pane or triple-pane windows worth it for Wheat Ridge homes?
For most Wheat Ridge homes, double-pane Low-E argon windows are the sweet spot, dramatically cutting drafts and UV compared to the original single panes common in Applewood Villages and The Barths. Triple-pane is worth considering on exposed, wind-facing walls or for homeowners who want maximum quiet and efficiency. We walk you through the trade-offs for your specific home rather than upselling glass you don't need.
Do replacement windows in Wheat Ridge need to meet egress requirements?
Yes. Bedrooms and finished basements require egress-compliant windows large enough to climb out of in an emergency, and a lot of older Wheat Ridge homes have original openings that don't meet today's code. We check egress on every project, flag any opening that needs to be enlarged, and handle the permitting so the install passes inspection.
Will new windows actually lower my heating and cooling bills here?
They can make a real difference. With Wheat Ridge's sharp day-to-night temperature swings and intense high-altitude sun, single-pane glass leaks the temperature you're paying for and lets UV bake south- and west-facing rooms. Sealed double- or triple-pane units with Low-E coatings and argon fill hold conditioned air inside, ease the load on your furnace and AC, and keep rooms in Fruitdale and Bel Aire more comfortable year-round.
