How To Install Replacement Windows

June 27, 2021

FPO. Finally, installation day has arrived. Durabuilt professionals create a hassle-free window replacement process, leaving your home spotless and your new windows dazzling.

Your home is special. It’s a monumental part of your life, the place you spend most of your time and create the lion’s share of your memories. While you’re in it, whether you’re playing board games with the kids or prepping for a major renovation project, you should be as comfortable as possible.

When you make a considerable investment in your home by replacing your windows, you have the right to expect service that shines and professionalism that’s peerless. Keep reading to familiarize yourself with Durabuilt’s no-mess, no-guess installation process so you can be confident installation day will be as easy as possible.

Installation day: what to expect 

Durabuilt professionals are craftsmen and women, committed to installing your replacement windows properly and securely. Careful, correct installation assures that your replacement windows meet your energy efficiency and design expectations. 

After all, each home is different, and each replacement plan should be customized to match the requirements of every unique customer. This isn’t one-size-fits all. A French casement window demands a different approach than a standard sliding window.

At Durabuilt, our installation professionals relish the process, value your time and respect that homes are cherished places. We’ll kick off installation day by reviewing your window replacement installation plan with you. We’ll make sure you understand each step of the plan. This way, you’re aware of each action your Pella professionals are taking and will not encounter any surprises during the big day. We want to dedicate time to making sure your plan is as exactly as you want it before beginning installation.

Protecting personal space & beginning window installation

Personal space is something we all value. To make certain your home and belongings stay protected during the window replacement installation process, we’ll cover any work area with drop cloths. Drop cloths catch debris and dust, safeguarding your home from unwanted installation day remnants.

Next, our Durabuilt professionals will begin carefully removing your old windows. Our expert team has years of experience and training. We approach each project attentively, never forgetting your needs throughout the entire process. After we have completed removing your old windows, we’ll begin the replacement window installation process. Depending on your unique plan, you and your team may have discussed a pocket installation or a full-frame installation. Full-frame installations can be more labor-intensive, so keep this in mind on installation day.

We take pride in keeping our work spaces contained. Again, your home, and sense of privacy, shouldn’t be disturbed when you have replacement windows installed. When you upgrade your home with Durabuilt, you’ll always receive careful preparation, expert installation and thoughtful cleanup

Completing Window Installation & Wrapping Up Your Project

As we get nearer to completing your replacement window installation, we’ll finish the window with your selected interior or exterior trim and any necessary hardware. Depending on your window selection, different hardware options are available, ranging from our Classic, Modern, Rustic and Essential Collections. If you’ve chosen a casement window or awning window, you’ll receive the added benefit of Pella’s SureLock system. This locking mechanism reaches out to pull the window sash tightly against the weatherstripping, creating a stronger seal than on other windows.

You can trust that the Durabuilt experts will keep you updated throughout the day as they continue to make progress. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions about our process or bring up any concerns about the safety of your personal belongings. When we’ve completed the job to your satisfaction, we’ll thoroughly tidy up, making sure your living spaces are so spotless our moms would be proud. And as we haul away your old windows to our vehicles, you might catch us stealing one last glance at our handiwork and the beauty of your newly renovated home.
