Security-Widefield is one of the largest unincorporated communities in El Paso County, directly adjacent to Fort Carson Army Post on Colorado Springs' south side. The community's growth has been inextricably linked to the military, with development waves corresponding to Fort Carson's expansions from the 1950s through the 2000s. The result is a housing stock that spans multiple decades, from original 1950s and 1960s military-era tract housing to newer subdivisions built during the post-9/11 military expansion.

The median year built for Security-Widefield homes is 1980, but that average masks significant variety. The oldest neighborhoods near Widefield High School contain homes from the 1950s with original steel casement windows that are over 70 years old. Mid-era sections feature 1970s and 1980s aluminum and early vinyl windows with failed seals and degraded weatherstripping. Newer areas like Lorson Ranch have 2000s-vintage builder-grade windows that are just beginning to show their age.

For the military families that make up a significant portion of Security-Widefield's population, PCS (permanent change of station) moves mean many homeowners are also landlords renting properties in the area. Window replacement is one of the most impactful rental property upgrades because it reduces maintenance calls, lowers utility costs that tenants appreciate, and protects property value for the years between occupancies. The investment pays dividends whether you live in the home or rent it out.

Security-Widefield's position on the southern plains of Colorado Springs means full weather exposure. The area lacks the terrain protection of western neighborhoods and receives the full force of storm systems tracking northeast along the I-25 corridor. Wind, hail, and driving rain are regular challenges that test window integrity, and the area's hail claim frequency reflects this exposure.

The community's median household income of $68,000 means budget-conscious solutions are important. We understand that Security-Widefield homeowners need value: the best performance at a fair price. Our mid-tier vinyl windows provide excellent energy efficiency and durability at price points that make whole-home replacement achievable, and our financing options make the monthly investment comparable to the monthly energy savings.
