Many home improvement projects draw attention to your windows. For example, pressure washing the side of your home may make you realize how old your window frames look. This may inspire you to pursue residential window replacement. Replacing your windows is a long process with many steps. Keep reading to learn more about how to recognize your need for new windows and what to expect during a residential window installation.

When Do You Need New Windows?

As you work on your home, you may feel torn between leaving your windows alone or investing in new ones. If you’re unsure, look for the following signs:

• Drafts around the window frames
• Condensation between the windowpanes
• Difficulty opening or closing the windows
• Noticeable increase in energy bills
• Rotting or deteriorating window frames

Problems such as these will only get worse if you don’t replace the windows. Start looking for a trustworthy window company if you notice any of these problems.

What Will You Experience During the Installation Process?

Once you have decided to replace your windows and have found a trustworthy window company, you can schedule a consultation and installation. You can expect to experience the following during the installation process:

• Measurement and assessment of your existing windows to ensure a proper fit
• Removal of old windows and preparation of the window opening for the new installation
• Installation of the new windows and sealing to avoid drafts, leaks, and water damage
• Final inspection and adjustments to ensure the windows function correctly

Expect the installation to last about 30 minutes per window, although this can vary based on window size, weather, and other factors.
