What Properly Installed Windows Actually Do

Your energy bills drop. That’s usually the first thing homeowners notice after we finish a window installation project.

But the real difference shows up in how your home feels. No more cold spots near windows in winter. No more cranking the AC because the sun turns your living room into a greenhouse. No more fighting with windows that stick or won’t stay open.

New windows installed correctly make your whole house more comfortable. You’ll sleep better without street noise filtering through old, loose-fitting frames. Your furniture won’t fade from UV exposure. And when it’s time to sell, buyers notice quality windows immediately.

Occum Window Installation Experts

We Install Windows Right The First Time

We’ve been handling window installation projects throughout Occum and eastern Connecticut for years. We know how New England weather tests windows, and we install them to last.

Most window problems aren’t actually window problems. They’re installation problems. A quality window installed poorly performs worse than a basic window installed correctly. That’s why we focus on proper measurement, weatherproofing, and structural integrity with every installation.

We work with homeowners who want the job done right without the runaround. No high-pressure sales tactics. No surprise costs. Just straightforward window installation backed by our work.

Window Installation Process

Here's Exactly How We Handle Your Project

We start with accurate measurements at your home. Every window opening is different, even in the same house, so we measure each one individually. We’ll also assess the condition of your window frames and discuss any structural issues upfront.

Once we order your windows, we schedule installation when they arrive. We protect your floors and furniture, remove old windows carefully, and prep each opening. The new window gets properly sealed, insulated, and secured. Interior and exterior trim work comes next.

We clean up completely before we leave. You’ll get care instructions for your new windows and warranty information. The whole process typically takes one day for most homes, though larger projects might need two days.

What's Included In Every Installation

Every window installation includes proper weatherproofing, insulation, and trim work. We don’t just swap out the window and leave. You get complete installation that addresses air sealing, water management, and structural integrity.

We handle permits when required and make sure everything meets local building codes. Connecticut’s weather demands proper installation techniques, especially around air sealing and moisture management. We use appropriate flashing, sealants, and insulation for our climate.

You’ll also get manufacturer warranty information and our installation warranty. We stand behind our work because we do it right the first time. Most installation issues show up within the first year, and we address any problems that arise from our workmanship.

How long does window installation take for an average home?

Most single-family homes take one full day for complete window installation. Homes with 10-15 windows typically finish in 6-8 hours. Larger homes or projects requiring structural work might need two days. We work efficiently but don’t rush critical steps like weatherproofing and trim work. Weather can affect timeline since we need dry conditions for proper sealing. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we measure your windows and discuss any factors that might extend the work.

What's the difference between window replacement and new construction windows?

Replacement windows fit into your existing window frames, while new construction windows require removing the entire frame down to the rough opening. Most homeowners need replacement windows unless their frames are severely damaged or rotted. Replacement windows install faster and cost less because we don’t need to rebuild the opening or redo exterior siding work. New construction windows make sense during major renovations or when frames are beyond repair. We’ll assess your frames during measurement and recommend the right approach for your situation.

How much can new windows actually save on energy bills?

Energy savings depend on what you’re replacing and your home’s overall efficiency. Homeowners replacing single-pane windows typically see 20-30% reduction in heating and cooling costs. Even replacing older double-pane windows can save 10-15% on energy bills. The biggest savings come from eliminating air leaks around poorly installed windows. Connecticut’s temperature swings make efficient windows especially valuable. Your actual savings depend on window orientation, home size, and current HVAC efficiency. We can estimate potential savings based on your specific situation during our consultation.

Do you handle permits and inspections for window installation?

We handle permits when they’re required for your window installation project. Most standard window replacements don’t need permits in Connecticut, but new construction windows or structural changes might require them. We know local building codes and will pull necessary permits as part of our service. Some towns require inspections for certain types of window work, and we coordinate those appointments. Permit costs are separate from installation costs, and we’ll explain any requirements upfront. You don’t need to worry about code compliance when we handle your project.

What happens if there's damage to the wall during installation?

We take precautions to prevent wall damage during window removal and installation. Our team uses proper tools and techniques to minimize disruption to surrounding surfaces. However, sometimes old windows reveal hidden issues like water damage or structural problems that need addressing. We’ll discuss any discovered problems and repair options before proceeding. Minor touch-up work like paint or small drywall repairs is typically included in our service. Significant structural repairs are quoted separately. We’re upfront about potential issues and don’t surprise you with unexpected costs.

How do I know what type of windows are best for my home?

Window selection depends on your priorities, budget, and home style. Vinyl windows offer good value and low maintenance for most Connecticut homes. Wood windows provide traditional appearance but need more upkeep. Fiberglass windows offer superior durability but cost more upfront. We’ll discuss your priorities during consultation – energy efficiency, maintenance, appearance, and budget. Your home’s architectural style and neighborhood character also influence the best choice. We work with quality manufacturers and can explain the pros and cons of different materials and features for your specific situation.
