Windows in East Renton Highlands, WA
Windows for East Renton Highlands homes, from Builders Service Company.
Houses built from the 1950s through the 1970s often still have single-pane glass or aluminum frames, the first windows we usually replace. Homes from 1980 to 1999, 27% of housing units by Census count, tend to have first-generation vinyl windows whose seals are now failing.
We install Preservation 9000 vinyl replacement windows, and Builders Service Company is the exclusive provider of Preservation 9000 windows in Washington. Heating makes a difference to the payback: Census data shows 38% of homes here heat with electricity, and efficient windows pay back more where heating is costly. Electric service comes from PSE, so check with PSE for current programs before you start.
Style choice depends on the house:
- Sliders or casements work well on upper floors and under tight eaves. About 23% of single-family homes have two or more stories.
- Picture windows and bay or bow windows suit the 6% of homes with a view.
- Casement, awning or hopper windows give good ventilation in kitchens and bathrooms.
- Double-hung, garden and custom shapes are also available to match the layout of an older house.
We measure every opening during the free in-home consultation and go over which styles fit each room.

Which window styles work best on a two-story house?
