With 47 years of experience in installing quality products for a wide range of residential applications, Sunset Construction has set the benchmark in the industry for design, thermal performance, energy efficiency—and customer satisfaction.
Energy Efficiency
The ENERGY STAR® label was created by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to help consumers quickly and easily identify windows and other products that save energy. Results are already adding up. Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR®, saved enough energy in 2005 alone to avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 23 million cars—all while saving $12 billion on their utility bills. Sunset Construction proudly carries windows that display the ENERGY STAR® label and are American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) and National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) tested and certified. By selecting Sunset Construction as your replacement window installer, you are buying technologically advanced windows with unsurpassed energy efficiency that will deliver years of energy savings.
Sunset Construction will help you create an entryway that reflects your style. When choosing your door, we will help you with professional advice in selecting door style, finish and hardware, and give you an accurate measurement for exact fit. Our entryways are available in steel with smooth or stainable steel wood grain, or advanced fiberglass material with architecturally correct rail and stile proportions and wood grain embossing.
The Installation

If installer has any concerns regarding existing conditions, Installer must notify Sunset Construction Principles and/ or homeowner. If any existing water barrier devices are damaged by Installer as part of Installer’s work, Installer must restore those devices before completing its work.
4. Before proceeding with its work, Installer should verify that the furnished windows and doors are the correct size and are appropriate for the residence.
5. All installation should be performed with new and first-class materials. Any caulking must be compatible with existing conditions.
