Replacing windows is a major home improvement decision, and for many homeowners, the biggest concern is not the product itself but the process. Understanding what happens before, during, and after installation helps remove uncertainty and makes the experience far more comfortable.
Our window install process is designed to be structured, transparent, and homeowner-focused. From the first consultation to the final walkthrough, every step is planned to keep projects running smoothly and expectations clear.
Step One: Free Consultation and Detailed Estimate
Every project begins with a free consultation. During this visit, we evaluate your existing windows, take accurate measurements, and discuss your goals for comfort, efficiency, and appearance. This step allows us to understand your home and recommend solutions that fit both your needs and Colorado’s climate.
After the consultation, we provide a detailed estimate outlining the scope of work. This ensures homeowners know exactly what to expect before moving forward. A thorough consultation and a clear cost estimate for window replacement create the foundation for a smooth, predictable installation experience.
Step Two: Ordering Custom Windows and Scheduling Installation
Once the project is approved, we order custom-sized windows for your Colorado home. Accurate ordering is critical to proper fit, long-term performance, and efficient installation.
At the same time, we coordinate scheduling to align with product delivery and your availability. Our team stays in communication, so homeowners know when installation will take place and how to prepare. Careful coordination at this stage helps prevent delays and keeps the project on schedule.
Step Three: Removing Old Windows and Preparing Openings
On installation day, our crew begins by carefully removing the existing windows. We take steps to protect surrounding areas and maintain a clean, organized workspace.
Each window opening is then inspected and prepared before new windows are installed. Proper preparation helps ensure your new replacement windows sit correctly and perform as intended. Attention to detail during removal and preparation supports a secure, long-lasting installation.
Step Four: Installation Timeline and What to Expect
Homeowners often ask how long the installation will take. In most cases, installing a single window takes approximately 1–2 hours, depending on the size and complexity. Full-home window replacement projects are commonly completed within 1–2 days.
Timelines can vary based on the number of windows and the specifics of the home, but we always provide realistic expectations upfront. Clear timelines help homeowners plan confidently and reduce disruption during installation.
Step Five: Insulation, Sealing, and Finishing for Colorado’s Climate
Proper insulation and sealing are essential parts of the window installation process, especially in Colorado’s changing weather conditions. Our team focuses on sealing each window to help prevent drafts, moisture intrusion, and energy loss.
Finishing details are handled carefully to ensure windows look clean and complete while supporting long-term performance. Correct insulation and sealing protect comfort, efficiency, and durability year after year.
Step Six: Cleanup and Final Walkthrough
After installation is complete, we thoroughly clean the work area. We then conduct a final walkthrough with the homeowner to review the installation, answer questions, and confirm satisfaction with the finished work.
This step ensures nothing is overlooked and that homeowners feel confident in the results. A final walkthrough reinforces transparency and accountability at the end of every project.
