Residential Windows Process

1. Start of residential window installation process
Our window installers and carpenters arrive as scheduled in one of our self-contained shops on wheels. Our trucks carry all of our tools, materials, and supplies to make your window installation a success. In many cases, much of our work can be done outside of your home. This virtually eliminates sawdust and allows for a much cleaner and safer work environment.

2. Air tight and water tight window installation
Our window installers and carpenters are specially trained to keep moisture and air from entering around your new windows. This means that on most window installations we can create a waterproof seal around window openings utilizing self-sealing adhesive membranes called Ice and Water Shield. These membranes work with the home's moisture barrier to help weatherproof your window openings.

3. End of day cleanup
At the end of every day as well as the end of the window installation job, our personnel clean the entire work area, ensuring the area is free of nails or any other materials that may risk injury to children, pets, or car tires.

4. Finishing
Due to the fact that we are one of the Twin Cities leading exterior remodeling companies, we are able to handle any siding and trim issues, which may occur during a window installation project. For an additional charge we can stain or paint the interior and exterior of your windows if necessary.

A Project Manager is assigned specifically to your window replacement job and will be involved in each step until completion.

New Construction Window (Full Frame Replacement)

  • A more "custom" look

  • Less prone to leakage

  • No loss of glass area

  • Usually requires damage to trim / siding

  • More expensive

  • Takes longer to install

 
 

Retrofit Window (Window Only Replacement)

  • Less Expensive

  • Can be completed quickly

  • No damage to siding/trim

  • Wider frame means some glass area will be lost

  • Some styles look cheap / unprofessional

  • More prone to leakage

 
 

Because of their lower cost and ease of installation, retrofit windows have become hugely popular. This is the type of window we chose for our home and it is the focus of this buyer's guide.
