INSTALLATION PROCEDURE: WINDOWS
This serves as a guide to a typical window installation.  Your project may vary depending upon the specific work contracted.

  • You will receive a call from the front office to set an appointment to do an exact measurement on your window order.
  • We will order your windows. When we receive them in our warehouse, we will call to set an appointment for the installation. 
  • For the most part, we normally install between 10 & 15 windows per 2 person crew, per day. For Pella wood windows that lessens to 5-7 per day.
  • We ask that you remove your curtains or drapes and back the furniture from the windows.
  • We will remove the windows starting with the storm windows and work our way toward the inside. 
  • Your interior trim will not be disturbed.
  • The frames of the windows are insulated with a collapsible foam insulation and installed with 4-3" screws hidden by the blind stops.
  • We adjust the center of the frame with by turning the butterfly.
  • The sashes and screen are installed in the frame.
  • The exterior wood brick molds are caped to the dimension of the brick mold or window trim with a vinyl coated aluminum coil stock, custom bent and molded to your window on the job site.
  • Next, we caulk and seal the exterior and interior of the window to keep out air and water.
  • Finally, we will vacuum the floor around the base of the window.
  • If you have any valuables hanging on your walls, please take care to remove them as they may become unstable in the construction process.
  • If you have a security system, we will remove the units, however we are not electricians and ask you to please call them to reinstall the system. (We don't want to cause a false alarm).
