Project Coordinated by Customer Service TeamWindow Replacement on Village Circle in Erie, CO- Pella Windows with Sun Defense Glass
The Problem
Joni's home in Erie, Colorado had three original windows in the master bedroom that were 15 years old and starting to fail. One window had a cracked pane, and all three were drafty. The homeowner also noted the windows face south, so heat and glare had become an ongoing issue in that part of the home.
Why It Needed Replacing
A cracked pane and drafty seals meant the windows were no longer sealing properly, so repair wasn't a lasting fix. With the home in an HOA-governed community, any replacement also had to match the neighborhood's approved styles and colors, which shaped the product selection from the start.
What We Did
We replaced all three master bedroom windows with Pella Encompass Series vinyl windows in white, installed with Sun Defense plus Low E glass to help cut down on solar heat gain from the south-facing exposure. Existing interior and exterior trim was kept in place and caulked to the new windows rather than replaced. No grids were added, matching the home's existing look and the HOA's approved style.
Project Details
This home was built in 2010. All three replaced window openings are on the main home: two triple sliders and one picture window. Some of the replaced windows are operable, matching the home's original function. HOA approval was required and confirmed before work began.
Materials Used
- Pella Encompass Series vinyl windows, white interior and exterior
- Sun Defense + Low E glass package
- No grids
- Sun Defense + Low E glass package
- Existing trim retained and caulked to new windows (interior and exterior)
The Result
Installation was completed in June 2025. The homeowner, who had previously served on her HOA board, was closely involved throughout the process and was pleased with both the communication and the finished install. One minor punch list item (a clip restricting one window sash) was identified after install and addressed by the production team.
Price Context
This project averaged roughly $2,000 per window installed, including Sun Defense + Low E glass and retained trim.
Homeowners considering similar upgraded window replacements in Colorado today should generally expect pricing in a comparable range per window, depending on window size and type (slider vs. picture window vs. others), the glass package selected, whether trim is being retained or replaced, HOA-driven style or color requirements, and the number of openings being replaced at once.
