Purchasing new windows for your home is a great way to enhance its curb appeal and resale value. However, if you’re new to the window replacement process, it can seem very overwhelming to start with. Fortunately, our guide below explains the entire process from start to finish, so you can know exactly what to expect.
Initial Consultation
When you first decide you want professional window replacement in Seattle, WA, you’ll want to call our team at Signature Window & Door Replacement. We provide all our valued customers with a free in-home consultation to discuss window options.
During this initial consultation, we will give you more insight into our available product offerings and perform a thorough assessment of your home to help make the perfect recommendation for your new windows. We offer fiberglass, wood, wood-clad, and specialty windows.
This free consultation is the time to ask any questions you may have about the process. Most in-home consultations take at least an hour, depending on your specific questions regarding our product lineup.
Choosing Your New Windows
As part of our personalized approach, we take the time to discuss all the different products we have so that you can make an informed decision about what you want. We’ll discuss the styles that may fit specific areas of your home better than others and determine if you want any additional product upgrades like low-E or gas fill. Our product selection assistance is second to none in ensuring you get the right windows for your home.
Taking Measurements
Once we understand the type of windows we’ll be installing in your home, our window installer will take appropriate measurements for each window. This will ensure that your window is customized to fit your specific opening without a need for major alterations.
Our goal is to ensure that your window installation is completed as smoothly as possible. We’ll ensure we order the correct size windows for your unique space. Taking measurements takes less than an hour, depending on the number of windows you’re replacing. Once we have your measurements, we’ll provide you with a customized replacement quote for final approval.
Scheduling for Installation
Once you approve the window replacement quote, we’ll actively work to order your windows. Depending on when they’ll arrive, we’ll schedule an installation day that fits your busy lifestyle. We highly suggest having someone at the house during the installation process. It’s important to know that larger custom windows may take longer to come in than standard-sized windows.
Installation Day
Most home window replacements typically take one day to complete. We’ll start by removing all the existing window trim and caulking. Then, we’ll remove the old window to check for any problems like rotting boards. Our window installers will repair any potential issues they find around your window’s opening to ensure that it’s solid before installing the new window.
Next, we’ll insert the new window and ensure it’s positioned level for optimal functionality. We’ll also seal up the space around the window to guarantee an airtight fit. This is imperative to the overall functionality of your window and the efficiency of your home. Our installer will proceed to reinstall your window trim and perform a quality test of your new window to ensure that all its functions are working properly.
Cleanup
We take care of restoring your home to the way that we found it. Our team will dispose of all your old windows for your convenience. Any materials that we removed from around the window frame will be properly cleaned up and removed from your home. We take our cleanup practices very seriously because we want you to be ultimately satisfied with your final product.
Understanding Warranty Info
Once all your new windows are installed, we’ll do a final walkthrough of your home with you. We want to ensure that you’re satisfied with the final product and will provide you with the necessary warranty information. All the windows that we sell come with an active warranty to cover the cost of replacing any defective components the window may have.
