If your windows at home are dingy, damaged or simply outdated, you have probably thought about installing replacement windows. While the task is usually simple and straightforward, there are still a few misconceptions that surround it.
You need to replace all your windows at the same time. It is not an absolute necessity. You can phase the replacements over a timeline that better suits your schedule or budget. It is a smart idea to ditch the windows that pose a security risk to your family, like a cracked window in the basement or a living room window that will not close properly. Then, replace the units that are not energy-efficient anymore, such as drafty or single-pane windows.
Window replacement takes weeks. While producing custom-made windows can take a few weeks depending on the season, the actual installation should only take a day or two. Like with roofing, it is important to work with a reputable contractor who can expertly and seamlessly install your replacement windows on time. You should also make sure that the contractor you select for the job will leave your home as clean and tidy as it was when they first arrived.
You can only replace your windows in the summer. Many window replacement companies are booked during summer and spring because of the longer days and stable temperatures that the seasons bring. However, it is not impossible to install new windows even when the weather is bad. When windows are being replaced, the team will take out and replace one unit at a time. This means your home will not be left with enormous holes wherein moisture or precipitation can freely enter for extended periods. Also, an experienced installer will take every precaution to ensure that your home stays dry and cozy during the replacement process.
