You’re tired of looking at your old windows, and you’re done with the high energy bills that keep coming each month. When deciding to move forward with replacement windows, it’s important that you consider various factors, one of which is how long it will take to install them. Before signing a contract to begin work, keep reading to find out what kind of timeline is “normal” for this kind of home remodel.
What is the Process to Install Replacement Windows?
Each company is different, so you should choose professionals who will sit down and discuss the kind of process you can expect. Typically, the following steps are required before you begin enjoying your new windows:
- Step One: Meeting with a team of professional designers and craftsmen who will provide free in-home estimates. Sharing your ideas with them ensures that they align your vision with the kind of products they offer.
- Step Two: Measurements are taken to ensure that the chosen windows are crafted based on the correct specifications. This will help the manufacturer when building your custom windows.
- Step Three: Installers will arrive and replace your windows before cleaning up the area and leaving the room better than it looked before.
- Step Four: You will begin to enjoy the results of your replacement windows, and many companies offer greater peace of mind because of the limited warranty that is offered.
How Long Does the Entire Process Take?
While no two manufacturers are the same, the average timeframe to install replacement windows from beginning to end is 3.5 months or roughly 15 weeks, while the actual time it takes to replace the window is between 30-60 minutes.
Various factors must be considered when planning a project like this, including the kind of materials that are used and their availability as well as how complex it will be to replace one or more windows.
All of this information will be discussed during your consultation. This will allow you to determine if the timeline works for your schedule. The last thing you want to do is agree to a project and then realize it may not get done in the timeframe you expected. While things can happen along the way, it’s important that you work with trusted professionals who will keep you informed of any changes as they occur.
The decision to have your windows replaced throughout your home is one that you will not regret. Although it takes time and patience to receive your desired results, you’ll be pleased with the new look as well as your lower energy bill.
