We speak your city's language
We researched window rules across 19 jurisdictions, so you don't learn them the hard way:
- San Francisco requires a permit for every window replacement — but in-kind swaps need no plans and file online
- Oakland's 2026 reform adds same-day digital permits for window replacements
- Hayward has a dedicated over-the-counter window permit (BL-ROVC)
- LA, Austin, Chicago, Fremont run express/same-day lanes for qualifying swaps
- Cupertino publishes exactly when shear-wall openings trigger structural calcs — we build to it
- Miami needs product approvals and sealed wind-load calcs — the heaviest lift in the country, and we handle it
- Egress trap: lowering a bedroom sill triggers structural review in most cities — the #1 installer inspection failure
Homeowners, too
Replacing your own windows? Same deal: pick your tier, submit from your phone, and we file it. Owner-builder path skips license verification, and we flag it when your city doesn't even require a permit — we'd rather tell you than charge you.
