Window Installation Bountiful, UT

The time it takes to install a window can vary, but most single-window replacements can be done in about 30 minutes to an hour. For a whole house, it might take 1-2 days. Big jobs, like installing bay windows or doing a full frame replacement, might take longer. We always give you a timeline before we start, so you know what to expect. Our team works efficiently, but we never rush. We take the time to do the job right, making sure everything is level, sealed, and working perfectly before we finish.

Yes, we can install windows year-round, even in cold weather. We have special techniques to keep your home warm during winter installations. We work in small sections, sealing off rooms we’re not working in. We also use fast-drying caulk that works well in cold temperatures. The only time we might delay is if there’s a big storm or if it’s dangerously cold for our workers. But don’t worry – we’ll always keep you updated and reschedule if needed.

It’s best if you or someone you trust is home during the installation. This allows you to ask questions, make decisions if unexpected issues come up, and see the process firsthand. But we know life is busy. If you can’t be there, we can work out a plan. We might ask you to leave a key or garage code. We always respect your home and privacy. Our team is background-checked and trustworthy. We’ll send you updates and pictures throughout the day so you know how things are going.

Absolutely! We believe in leaving your home cleaner than we found it. We bring our own vacuums, brooms, and cleaning supplies. We’ll remove all the old windows, packaging materials, and any installation debris. We wipe down the new windows and sweep or vacuum the work area. If we had to move any furniture, we’ll put it back. We even bring our own doormats to keep from tracking dirt in and out. If you find any mess we missed, just let us know and we’ll take care of it right away.

To get ready for window installation, start by clearing the areas around your windows. Move furniture, take down curtains and blinds, and remove any nearby decorations. If you have security system sensors on your windows, let your provider know you’re getting new windows. Outside, trim any bushes or trees that might be in the way. Clear a path from your driveway to the windows for our team to bring in materials. If you have pets, it’s best to keep them in a quiet room away from the work area. Don’t worry about covering floors or walls – we’ll take care of that when we arrive.

You can definitely install just one window if that’s what you need. Maybe you have a broken window or want to upgrade a particularly drafty one. We’re happy to do that. But there are some benefits to doing multiple windows at once. It’s more cost-effective because we can buy materials in bulk and we only need to set up our equipment once. Your energy savings will also be more noticeable if you do multiple windows. But we understand budget constraints and home improvement often happens in stages. We’ll work with you to create a plan that fits your needs and budget, whether that’s one window or a whole house.

Window installation does involve some noise. There will be sounds of removing old windows, which might include some banging or scraping. We use power tools to ensure precise installation, which can be loud. However, we try to minimize noise as much as possible. We use drop cloths to dampen sound and we’re careful about when we use louder tools. The noisiest part usually only lasts a short time for each window. If you work from home or have small children, let us know. We can plan the noisier work around nap times or important calls. Most of our customers find the process less disruptive than they expected.

Sometimes when we remove old windows, we find issues like water damage, mold, or rotted wood. Don’t worry – this is not uncommon, especially in older homes. If we find any problems, we’ll stop and show you what we’ve found. We’ll explain the issue, why it needs to be fixed, and how we can fix it. We always give you a clear estimate for any extra work before we proceed. Our team is skilled in handling these repairs, so we can usually take care of it right away without delaying your project. Fixing these issues is important not just for your new windows, but for your home’s overall health and energy efficiency.

Yes, we can install windows in rooms with textured walls or wallpaper. We take extra care in these situations to protect the surrounding area. For textured walls, we use special techniques to match the texture around the new window. With wallpaper, we carefully cut around the window opening to minimize damage. If any touch-ups are needed, we can often do minor repairs. For more extensive work, we might recommend a painter or wallpaper expert to ensure a perfect finish. If you’re planning to redecorate soon, installing windows before you put up new wallpaper or texture can give the cleanest result.

If you’re getting pre-finished windows, you can start using them right away. But if you want to paint or stain your new windows, it’s best to wait a bit. For vinyl or fiberglass windows, wait about 30 days before painting. This gives any caulk or sealants time to fully cure. For wood windows, you can usually stain them right away, but it’s best to wait about a week before painting. This allows any moisture from the installation process to dry out. Always check the manufacturer’s instructions, as some windows need special paints or stains. If you’re not sure, just ask us. We’re happy to give you specific advice for your new windows to ensure they look great and last a long time.
