Please take down curtains, blinds, or any other window treatments. Security sensors should also be removed and turned off by your security company. Please provide our installation expert with a clear path to the window(s) being replaced by moving anything that may be in the way. It is also advisable to remove all wall decorations from the walls close to the windows as they may fall during removal or installation.

Your replacement windows will be installed within 4-8 weeks from the date that the final measurements are taken.

Trim work and cleanup will require additional time to complete. An average job will take a single day.
