Window replacement and siding in New Haven, Indiana
New Haven sits right next door to Fort Wayne, and window replacement or siding there starts the same way: a free visit, every opening measured and one written price.
Two kinds of New Haven houses
New Haven's housing falls into two big groups. About 58% of its homes were built before 1980, with a median year of 1975, and another 22% went up in 2000 or later.
The older houses are where the lead-safe rule comes in: any window replacement on a house built before 1978 needs an EPA certified firm. On the newer ones, the first owners' windows and vinyl siding are now up to about 25 years old, and failed seals and faded panels are the usual calls.
Permits in New Haven
New Haven's city code hands building inspections to the Allen County Building Department (260-449-7131), so county rules apply. The county's residential permit guide lists siding among the jobs that need a building permit. Same-size replacement windows aren't on its list, but enlarging an opening is structural work that does need one. New Haven's own planning office (260-748-7040) handles location permits for new or bigger structures, which a re-side usually isn't.
After the 2022 derecho
The June 13, 2022 derecho brought a 98 mph gust at Fort Wayne's airport, the strongest on record there, and the National Weather Service noted a roof blown off in New Haven. Wind like that lifts vinyl panels off their locks and cracks brittle ones. If a storm has loosened siding on your house, photograph each wall before repairs and see siding repair in Fort Wayne for typical costs.
New Haven window and siding questions
Does re-siding a house in New Haven need a permit?
Yes. New Haven uses the Allen County Building Department, and the county's residential permit guide lists siding as permitted work.
My New Haven house was built in the 2000s. Are the windows due?
Not on age alone. Check for fog between panes, drafts at the sash and sashes that won't stay up. One or two failed seals can be fixed with new glass instead of new windows.
