Step 4: Preparing for Installation Day

A little prep goes a long way toward a smooth install. Before our crew arrives, we suggest clearing the area around each window inside and out.

Move furniture, remove curtains and blinds, and take down wall hangings near the windows. This gives our installers room to work safely and protects your belongings.

If you have pets, plan a quiet space for them away from the activity. Our team will handle the rest with care and respect for your home.

This is where the transformation happens. Our trained, professional installers remove your old windows and set the new ones with precision.
