The Window Installation Process
Day Before Installers Arrive
• Touch bases with the salesperson or scheduler and confirm installation date and time.
• Put Post-It Notes on the wall next to the windows to be replaced, specifying exactly which window is to go there and any special instructions. For example: 'double-hung, 30"x48", vinyl (please save old window).
Day One--Remove Old Windows and Begin Replacement
• Touch bases with the job foreman and walk through house, going over each window.
• If this is a multi-person crew, one set of installers will bring in windows as another set of installers removes windows.
• As removal continues, installation proceeds. Ropes for the window sash weights (if you have newer windows, you may not have these) are cut. Weights drop to bottom of window pocket. New windows are set in place and leveled with shims. With window level, it is nailed into place.
• Depending on the size of your job, by the end of the day you might expect up to 10 windows to be done. You do not want any windows to be boarded over. Insist that each window space either be covered with a new or old window. No tools should be left in your house. Rooms are broom-clean. Old windows outside are removed.
• When the removal team is finished, they begin installing aluminum exterior trim on your windows. This exterior trim, or cladding, provides a tight seal against the weather.
• House is broom-cleaned and windows tested.
• Work may extend into a third day in order to finish the process of installing the exterior cladding. You will not need to be present for exterior work.
