FAQS
Your Questions About Residential Glass Services—Answered
Who is responsible for excavation when installing egress windows?
Homeowners are responsible for pre-digging egress window wells. City Creek Glass Residential handles concrete cutting, well placement, and window installation but does not perform excavation or repair old wells.
Why do you avoid using traditional silicone in shower glass installs?
Traditional silicone can yellow and degrade over time. We use Quad Max non-toxic caulking for a cleaner look and improved indoor air quality, ensuring lasting, health-conscious shower glass installs.
What types of windows do you install or replace in the Pocatello area?
We install and replace residential windows using Pella and Coeur d’Alene products in vinyl, fiberglass, or wood-clad materials. Our focus is thermal efficiency, durability, and modern curb appeal for Idaho homes.
Can you describe your built-in pet door solutions for sliding glass doors?
Our pet doors are built directly into new glass units, maintaining security and walking space. Unlike temporary inserts, these permanent solutions are customized for your pet’s size and do not compromise your home's insulation.
Do you install custom and decorative glass, such as rain or etched glass?
Yes, we offer rain glass, satin etch, fluted, and cross reed glass for privacy, cabinetry, and railings. We also work with smart film vendors for homeowners seeking electronic privacy glass in the Pocatello region.
What warranty do you offer on your labor and installations?
Every project includes a 1-year labor warranty, providing peace of mind on all residential glass, window, and door installations. Manufacturer product warranties vary by brand and are provided at project start.
How do you ensure egress window installations meet code for safety?
We coordinate every step to meet Idaho and Wyoming code requirements, including a minimum 5.7 sq. ft. opening for firefighter access. Our team coordinates the installation process to help ensure the project meets applicable code requirements.
What areas do you serve beyond Pocatello for residential glass projects?
We serve Blackfoot, Idaho Falls, Chubbuck, American Falls, McCammon, Lava Hot Springs, and Jackson, WY. Our local experts are familiar with neighborhood needs and climate-specific solutions across Southeast Idaho.
Why is my window foggy?
Foggy glass is typically caused by a failed seal in an insulated glass unit, allowing moisture to form between the panes. In many cases, the glass unit can be replaced to restore clarity and performance.
What are the requirements for an egress window?
Egress windows for basement bedrooms must meet applicable building code requirements, including minimum opening dimensions that allow emergency escape and firefighter access. We evaluate each project to help ensure compliance.
Can you help with wall-to-door conversion projects?
Yes. When a project requires converting an existing wall opening into a new door system, we coordinate with qualified trade partners as needed and manage the glass and door installation portion of the project.
