Energy-efficient replacement windows for Antelope homes, measured, supplied and installed by one licensed team.
Tell us a little about it. We’ll follow up within one business day.
Window replacements across Antelope, Placer County and the surrounding area.
Rooms that bake by four in the afternoon, glass that's cold to the palm in January, sashes painted shut, condensation between the panes. Windows fail slowly enough that people stop noticing and start adjusting: closing blinds, moving furniture, running the air conditioning harder.
Solid supplies and installs replacement windows across Antelope, Placer County and the surrounding area, working with ENERGY STAR certified manufacturers.
You get a glass package chosen for the way each elevation faces, openings measured individually rather than averaged, and installation that leaves the trim and the wall as tidy as the new window.
Multiple-pane glass, inert gas fills and warm-edge spacers.
Houses settle. We template each window rather than repeating one size.
Finishes and colours chosen so upkeep stays close to zero.
An energy-efficient window is an assembly, not a pane. These four parts have to work together: a good pane in a bad spacer leaks heat around its own edge.
01
Two or three panes of glass instead of one, so the assembly resists heat rather than conducting it straight through.
02
The cavity between panes is filled with an inert gas rather than air, which slows heat transfer further.
03
The spacer holding the panes apart is where heat sneaks around the edge. A warm-edge spacer closes that path.
04
Solid works with ENERGY STAR certified manufacturers, so the whole rated assembly is what arrives, not just good glass.
Operation matters more than looks once you live with it. Which of these suits a room depends on the reach, the sill height and where the breeze comes from.
Opens
The lower sash opens, the upper is fixed. The simplest opening window there is.
Opens
Both sashes move, so you can ventilate from the top. Easier to clean from inside.
Opens
A horizontal sash on a track. Good for wide openings and low sills.
Opens
Hinged at the jamb and cranked open. Seals tightly and catches a side breeze.
Opens
Hinged at the head so it can stay open in light rain. Common above a sink.
Fixed
Fixed glass, no hardware: the most light and the least air leakage.
Fixed
Three planes projecting from the wall, adding floor area and light to a room.
Fixed
A glazed box with a shelf, usually over a kitchen sink.
Each tile is an elevation drawing of the style, with the gold marks showing how it moves, the same drawing vocabulary we use for cabinet doors, edge profiles and roof patterns. Frame colours, grid patterns and glass packages are all chosen separately, and we bring samples to the consultation.
A window project is short enough that the schedule matters more than the sequence. This is what the days actually look like.
Step 01
We come to the house, look at the windows you have, and talk through what is actually bothering you: heat, noise, operation or looks.
Step 02
We guide the choice (style, frame, glass package and budget) elevation by elevation rather than one specification for the whole house.
Step 03
The installers fit each unit into its own measured opening, working through the house so it is never left open.
Step 04
We go round the house with you, open and close every window, and deal with anything on your list before we call it finished.
Most houses are days rather than weeks, and we work opening by opening so the house is never left open overnight.
Window projects are priced per opening, by size and glass package. The three below are per window; a typical Antelope house has around fourteen.
Want a range for your own house? The calculator below takes the window type and the opening count, and updates live.
ENERGY STAR dual-pane units in vinyl frames, standard sizes.
Fiberglass or composite frames, upgraded coatings, colour finishes.
Triple glazing, large format, and shapes like bay and garden windows.
Figures are planning ranges for the region, not quotes. We price from a measured schedule of openings. The consultation is free and there's no obligation.
Send us your estimate and we'll follow up with a tailored, no-obligation quote.
Your estimate is on its way to our team. We'll reach out shortly to schedule your consultation.
01
A window is priced by the unit, and a floor-to-ceiling slider is several times the glass of a bathroom awning.
02
Dual versus triple pane, the coating, the gas fill and the spacer. This is where the efficiency number comes from.
03
Vinyl, fiberglass and composite differ in price, in how they hold colour, and in how they behave in our summer heat.
04
Rot, distortion and a settled opening only show once the old unit is out. Sound framing is the good outcome.
05
Interior casing, exterior stucco or siding patching, and paint. The window is quick; making the wall good takes the time.
Design-build means one team owns your whole window project: the measure, the glass package, the install and the trim that finishes it. That's a calmer process for you and better-fitted windows in the end. Here's what it looks like day to day.
One plan, one contract, one team accountable end to end.
A real number up front, no vague ballparks or surprise change orders.
CSLB #975441, Class B general contractor. Specialty trades are performed by licensed Class C subcontractors, held to one quality standard.
Smarter storage, better light and a layout planned around your routines.
Permits, plan review and inspections are on us, not you.
We stand behind the build long after the final walkthrough.
Six deliberate phases, one team carrying the work from a napkin sketch to the final walkthrough, each stage building on the last. Tap any phase to see exactly what we handle.
The starting point
Every project follows this path. Yours starts with a conversation.
Antelope’s 1990s aluminium and first-generation vinyl units are failing at the seals. Once one fogs, the rest are the same age.
Low-E coatings matched to each elevation, not one glass specified for the whole house because it was easier to order.
Acoustic glass packages, put where the noise actually comes from rather than everywhere.
One measured schedule of openings, phased by elevation or by budget, and the price holds across the phases.
Two things move the price of a replacement window that have nothing to do with the window: what Title 24 requires, and what your utility will give back.
| Antelope | |
|---|---|
| Title 24, replacement windows | A U-factor and SHGC ceiling applies. We specify to the current standard |
| Utility rebate | SMUD runs an efficiency programme; we check the current offer against your order |
| Permit | A like-for-like retrofit is a simple over-the-counter permit at Sacramento County |
Title 24 values and SMUD’s programme both change between cycles. We confirm the current numbers when your order is specified, not from a page written months earlier.
There is no such thing as a house full of identical windows. The measure is what turns a per-opening rate into a price that holds.
A measured schedule of openings. The quote is built from it.
No commitment, no fee. You get every opening measured, the install method each one needs, the glass matched to its elevation, and a number that survives the order.
Windows are priced per opening, so the honest way to show a whole-house number is by opening count. Fourteen is the typical Antelope home.
| House profile | Vinyl dual-pane | Upgraded | Triple or specialty |
|---|---|---|---|
| About 10 openings · compact single-storey | $8,500–$13,000 | $14,000–$22,000 | $24,000–$42,000 |
| About 14 openings · a typical Antelope home | $11,900–$18,200 | $19,600–$30,800 | $33,600–$58,800 |
| About 18 openings · two-storey | $15,300–$23,400 | $25,200–$39,600 | $43,200–$75,600 |
Replacing all 14 windows in a typical Antelope home runs about $11,900–$18,200 in vinyl dual-pane. The calculator above works from the same per-opening rates. Full-frame replacement in stucco costs more than a retrofit into a sound frame, which is why every opening gets measured rather than counted.
This is a great opportunity not only to feel the materials, but also to get an idea or some inspiration.
You have probably seen most of it on a screen. Every cabinet, countertop, tile, and fixture Solid Construction & Design works with is there to touch and compare.
The showroom covers 28,000 square feet inside the Filco Superstore on Fulton Avenue, which makes it the largest design and appliance showroom in Northern California.
Bring a floor plan, a photo off your phone, or just an idea. A designer will pull samples with you and keep the choices within what you planned to spend.

Straight answers on what makes a window efficient, glass versus whole-window replacement, phasing, timescales, new construction and what windows in Antelope cost.
Three things working together: more than one pane of glass, an inert gas fill between the panes, and a warm-edge spacer holding them apart without conducting heat around the edge. We work with ENERGY STAR certified manufacturers so the whole assembly is rated, not just the glass.
Both are possible. Failed sealed units can sometimes be replaced in a sound frame, but if the frame is the problem (rot, distortion, painted-shut sashes), replacing the window is the honest answer.
Not necessarily. Doing every opening at once is the cheapest per window and the least disruptive overall, but starting with the worst elevation is a perfectly sensible first phase. We'll price both.
Most homes are a matter of days rather than weeks, and we work opening by opening so the house is never left open. We'll give you a dated schedule with your scope.
Yes, new-home window installation as well as replacement and repair.
Windows are priced per opening, by size and glass package. Vinyl frames with a standard dual-pane unit run $850–$1,300 per window, about $11,900–$18,200 for a typical fourteen-window house. An upgraded frame and glass package runs $1,400–$2,200 per window, or $19,600–$30,800. Triple pane and specialty shapes such as bay and garden windows run $2,400–$4,200 per window, or $33,600–$58,800. Large-format and specialty units add up to 48% on the top end. Use the calculator above for your own count.
Completely free, with no obligation. We'll visit your home, talk through your goals and budget, and follow up with clear next steps.
Both are holes in a wall that have to be measured, flashed and sealed properly. Doing them on one schedule is the sensible way, and it is one measure rather than two.
