About Ayearofkilling

A Local Window Crew That Builds to Code

Ayearofkilling replaces windows for homeowners across Grand Rapids, Michigan and the surrounding Kent County communities. We handle full-frame replacement, insert pocket replacement, egress and basement windows, energy-efficient upgrades, and patio door swaps, and we plan each one around the code that governs it. The NFRC label on the glass and the IRC R310 escape rule for a basement bedroom are not afterthoughts for us. They are where the job starts.

Grand Rapids has a deep stock of older homes, from the historic streets of Heritage Hill to the bungalows in Eastown, and an aging window often hides a failed frame or undersized opening behind the trim. We measure the real conditions on a house near Wealthy Street, tell you whether an insert or a full-frame replacement is the honest fix, and size any egress opening so it passes inspection and keeps the household safe.

What Sets Us Apart

• Code first. Egress sizing, tempered safety glass, and NFRC-rated units are standard on every job, not an upcharge.
• Permits handled. When a job changes the opening or structure, we pull the permit and coordinate the inspection.
• Written estimates. We measure, explain the method your frame needs, and put the price in writing before we order.
• Local and insured. We are a licensed, insured Grand Rapids crew, and a real person answers when you call.
