Are you tired of your old drafty windows and ready to get a new one? The exterior appeal of your house significantly depends on windows. So, if you’re bored of your old windows, replacing them would make a huge improvement in the curb appeal of your house or workplace.
What Happens in the Windows Replacement Process?
Once you have hired a team of contractors to replace the windows of your property, you can expect the following procedure:
Consultation and Assessment
The first step for any renovation work is consultation. You can call the professionals at your house and give them a tour so that they can thoroughly assess your project and choose the best possible options for your house.
After you decide to proceed with the project, a project manager will come to your house for a measuring appointment that lasts 30 to 60 minutes.
Preparation
Your old windows will be removed first. After removing the windows, the installation team will check the apertures for any damage and make any necessary repairs. Before installation, it’s important to remove or fix any rotting wood or deteriorating frameworks. If not, windows may not function properly down the road.
Installation
The workers will now install the new windows. They must guarantee that the new windows fit the aperture properly and are operating as intended. They should properly seal the space surrounding the window and replace the trim.
Cleanup
The installation team will then clean up. They will remove your old windows and any remaining debris. They will also make sure that nothing is left in the house and thoroughly clean all work areas.
Final Touch
Your contractor will then walk you through a final touchup of the window installation procedure. They will take a last look around your house and make sure all of the windows are properly fitted and functioning.
Additionally, they will demonstrate how your new windows work, ways to maintain them and address any queries you might have.
How Long Will It Take to Replace Your Windows?
The windows should be delivered within a few weeks of being purchased. However, custom items like windows with unique shapes or vintage ones will take longer to produce. The procedure of installing a window depends on the number of workers and the complexity of the task.
Depending on the amount of windows, their form, inclement weather, and unforeseen repairs, replacing windows might take several hours or many days. Replacing a window of ordinary size takes around an hour on average.
Final Say!
When you decide to change or replace something in your house, you know it’s going to cost a lot, and you cannot spend so much money on something without proper research. Window replacement is a big decision and will drastically increase your property’s curb appeal.
