Window Installation Process

Here's How It Actually Works

We start with measuring your existing windows and assessing what you’re dealing with. Every house is different, and we need to see the actual conditions before recommending anything.

You’ll get a clear estimate that covers the windows, installation, and any trim work needed. No surprises or add-ons that suddenly appear once we start working.

Installation day means protecting your floors and furniture, removing old windows carefully, and installing new ones properly. We clean up our mess and make sure everything operates correctly before we leave. The whole process typically takes one day for most homes, depending on how many windows you’re replacing.

New Windows and Installation

What's Included in Your Installation

You get quality windows sized exactly for your openings. We handle vinyl, wood, and composite materials depending on what works best for your situation and budget.

Installation includes proper sealing, insulation, and weatherproofing. We’re not just swapping out the glass – we’re making sure the entire window system works correctly. That means checking the frame, adjusting for level and square, and sealing everything properly.

All trim work and touch-up painting around the new windows is included. Your windows will look finished and professional when we’re done, not like a construction project that got abandoned halfway through.

How long does window installation take for a typical house?

Most residential window installations take one full day, assuming we’re replacing 8-12 windows. Larger homes or complex installations might take two days. The actual installation per window is usually 30-45 minutes once we get set up, but we take time to do the sealing and finishing work properly. Weather can affect timing – we won’t install windows in heavy rain or extreme conditions because moisture can get into the wall cavity during installation.

What's the difference between different window materials and which is best?

Vinyl windows are the most popular because they’re low maintenance and energy efficient at a reasonable price point. Wood windows look great and can be painted any color, but they require more upkeep over time. Composite materials give you the appearance of wood with less maintenance. For most Connecticut homes, quality vinyl windows offer the best combination of performance, durability, and value. The key is getting windows with good glass packages and proper installation regardless of frame material.

How much can new windows actually save on energy bills?

Energy savings depend on what you’re replacing and how bad your current windows are. If you have old single-pane windows or double-pane windows with failed seals, you could see 15-25% reduction in heating and cooling costs. The biggest savings come from eliminating air leaks around the frames and upgrading to low-E glass that reflects heat. Most homeowners in Connecticut see noticeable differences in their utility bills within the first few months, especially during heating season.

Do I need permits for window replacement in Griswold?

Most window replacements don’t require permits if you’re replacing existing windows with similar sizes and styles. However, if you’re changing window sizes, adding new windows, or doing structural modifications, permits are typically required. We handle permit applications when needed and know the local requirements. It’s always better to check with the building department beforehand rather than deal with issues later, especially if you’re planning to sell your home.

What happens if there's damage to the wall when removing old windows?

Some wall damage is normal when removing old windows, especially if they’ve been in place for decades. We come prepared to handle typical issues like rotted sill plates, damaged trim, or small areas where the drywall gets torn. Minor repairs are usually included in our installation price. If we discover significant structural damage or rot that wasn’t visible during the initial assessment, we’ll discuss options with you before proceeding. Most problems are fixable and don’t dramatically change the project scope.

How do I know if my windows need to be replaced or just repaired?

If your windows are hard to open, have broken sash cords, or need minor weatherstripping, repairs might make sense. But if you’re dealing with condensation between glass panes, significant drafts, rotting frames, or windows that are more than 20 years old, replacement usually makes more financial sense. The energy savings alone often justify replacement costs over time. We can assess your specific situation and give you an honest recommendation about whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your budget and goals.
