Glass & Window Services in Auburn, CA

Auburn is the Placer County seat and sits at about 1,200 feet elevation where Highway 49 meets I-80. The city has a wide range of housing: historic structures in Old Town Auburn, mid-century ranch homes throughout the central neighborhoods, and newer subdivisions climbing the hillsides east of town. Each of these building types presents different glass and window challenges. Old Town buildings often have original wood-frame windows with irregular dimensions, while tract homes from the 1970s and 1980s typically need aluminum-frame replacements upgraded to vinyl or fiberglass.

Auburn's climate is moderate compared to higher foothill towns, but summer temperatures still exceed 100 degrees on the hottest days. Solar heat gain is a real concern, especially for west-facing windows on homes without mature tree cover. We specify Low-E coatings and argon-filled units as standard for Auburn projects. For homes in the tree-heavy ravine areas near the confluence, moisture management and proper window flashing matter more than in the drier ridge neighborhoods.

Colfax Glass is about 25 minutes from most Auburn addresses. We serve the full Auburn area including North Auburn, the Highway 49 corridor toward Cool, and properties along Foresthill Road. Our familiarity with Placer County building codes and permit requirements helps keep projects on schedule.
