Window Company in Dewey-Humboldt, AZ

A rural town by choice

Dewey-Humboldt sits along Highway 69 southeast of Prescott Valley and incorporated in 2004 to keep its rural character. Homes here range from older ranch houses and manufactured homes to newer custom builds on several acres. Many have the original windows they were built with, and on the older homes that often means aluminum sliders with failed seals.

Warmer summers, still-cold winters

At roughly 4,600 feet, Dewey-Humboldt runs a few degrees warmer than Prescott in summer but still sees hard freezes in winter. That makes solar control more important here than in the pines: low-E glass with a low solar heat gain coefficient on south and west walls keeps afternoon heat out, while the same coating helps hold heat on winter nights. Every window's NFRC label lists both ratings (NFRC).

Framing the view

With few neighbors and open land, the view is the point of many Dewey-Humboldt homes, across the Agua Fria valley and toward the Bradshaw Mountains. Replacing small sliders with larger picture windows, or a picture window flanked by operable casements for ventilation, opens a room up dramatically. Where an opening gets bigger, the project needs structural framing and a permit.

Manufactured and ranch homes

Manufactured homes need windows built for their wall construction and sizes. We measure each opening and order the right product so it fits flush and seals. Ranch homes with stucco or block walls usually take standard insert replacement windows without disturbing the exterior.

Permits through the Town

Dewey-Humboldt's building department handles permits for new and enlarged openings and additions (Town of Dewey-Humboldt building FAQ). For larger projects on septic properties, the town notes that a Yavapai County septic permit comes before building plan review, which can affect the schedule for additions. We plan around it.
