What it Looks Like

Installation Steps

• Window and frame are removed down to their rough opening
• Opening is sealed to block air and moisture from seeping inside
• Insulation is inserted to boost energy efficiency
• Water system is installed at the sill to reduce water damage and prevent mold

• Property is surveyed and prepared
• Old windows are taken out without removing the trim
• Any deteriorated materials that are discovered are fixed before the new window is added
• Window is positioned and technicians check for an accurate fit to reduce gaps
• Window is caulked and sealed, and insulation is added to the interior and exterior
• After installation, debris are removed
