1. Arrival
The process begins with our team arriving at your place on time, fully equipped with tools and supplies, and ready to get going on your window installation. We will keep the lines of communication open, so you know what day we will be there and how long the project should take. We will be accessible for any questions before, during, or after your installation process.
2. Removal
To create a clean slate for your new windows, we will take care of removing your old windows as efficiently as possible. Our team is expertly trained to be mindful of the floors and exterior elements of your space throughout this process. Removal is done carefully and diligently while thoroughly removing all components of your old windows.
3. Installation
Once the openings are clean and clear, our experienced team will begin to put your new windows into place. We position each window with precision to ensure that they are level and flush within the space before they are fastened securely. Next, we will test all components of the window for proper operation. Finally, finishing parts will be installed, and insulation and caulk will be added to finalize the installation.
4. Cleanup
The removal and installation process can sometimes get messy, but you will never know it once the project is complete. We will perform a thorough cleanup in the area around your new windows before we wrap up your job. We take our time with this part of the process as well and always treat your home and yard with respect.
5. Inspection
Now, it’s time to hear from you! Our crew will show you the completed work and how the new windows function. We allow you to take your time in inspecting the finished product because it’s important to us that you are satisfied with the job. At this point, we will be happy to address any issues or answer any questions.
6. Enjoy
After you’ve approved the work and our crew is gone, there’s nothing left to do but enjoy the upgrade to your home or business. If your old windows were cracked, damaged, or stained, you probably weren’t able to truly appreciate a sunny and clear day or starry evening. With brand-new windows installed, you can now sit back, relax and enjoy your new view.

FAQs About the Illinois Window Installation Process
Do I Need to Be Home for the Window Installation?
We recommend that you be present at least at the beginning and end of the project to grant access and review the work. We prioritize open communication and want to confirm the installation details with you upon our arrival. Once we finish the job, we encourage a final inspection to confirm that you are satisfied.
How Should I Get My Home Ready for Window Installation?
You can make your window installation more efficient by creating a clear path to every window scheduled for replacement. You can do this by:
- Taking down curtains, blinds, and other window treatments.
- Moving furniture and breakables away from the work area.
- Turning off any window alarms or security sensors.
Although our team treats your home with the utmost care and is mindful of your flooring, moving obstacles keeps your personal belongings safe.
How Much Does a Typical Window Installation Cost?
The price depends heavily on the window style, materials, and whether you choose a full-frame or pocket installation. Because every project is unique, we provide a detailed estimate after evaluating your specific needs.
How Can I Tell If My Window Installation Was Done Well?
Quality workmanship is visible when your windows sit level and operate without any resistance. Our crew installs insulation and caulk to seal the unit effectively against drafts, which is a key indicator of a job well done. You can also:
- Check that the sashes open and close smoothly without sticking.
- Look for a tight seal that blocks outside noise and air leaks.
- Inspect the aluminum capping and finishing for a polished look.
Is It Safe to Install Windows in Rain or Snow?
We generally avoid installing windows during heavy precipitation to protect your home’s interior from moisture damage. While our products are built to withstand the unpredictable weather of Illinois, installing them requires a dry environment to achieve the best seal.
