Find out about what happens during a window replacement installation, from start to finish.

Removal and Replacement of Old Windows

The crew usually arrives bright and early to begin their work. They will clear the way to begin the installation process. If this is a multi-person crew, one set of installers will remove your windows and another brings in the new windows.

Although, window installation rarely creates dust, some cloths or dust barriers may be placed on the floor. The new windows are positioned, leveled with shims and nailed into place. At the end of the day, windows should not have been boarded over and should have been replaced with a new one.

Finish Installing and Exterior Cladding

Once the removal has been completed, the crew will start installing exterior trim on your new windows. The exterior trim or cladding helps seal your windows against the weather. You may, however, opt out of adding an exterior trim. Simply tell your replacement window contractor that you’d like to forego this service.

Window replacement installation usually takes one to three days, depending on the windows for replacement and the size of your house. After the whole process, the crew begins to clean. They gather their tools, floors are broom-cleaned and your old windows are removed from the property.
