The timeline for window and door replacement depends on the size of the project, the number of windows and doors that need to be replaced, and any additional customization or preparation required. Basically, the process can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.

The replacement cost really depends on the materials being chosen, number of windows and doors and their size, any additional customization or upgrades and process of installations.

It’s not necessary to get all of your windows and doors replaced at once but doing so can show some benefits, including

• Consistent energy efficiency
• Uniform appearance
• Potential cost savings on labor

However, you can choose to replace windows and doors gradually based on your budget and priorities.

• Single or Double-Hung Windows
• Casement Windows
• Single/Double Sliding Windows
• Awning Windows
• Bay & Bow Windows
• Picture Windows
• Tilt and Turn Windows

• Single or Double Doors (Steel or Fiberglass)
• Sliding Patio Doors
• French Doors
• Bi-Fold Doors
• Fire Rated Doors

• While it’s possible, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper fit, energy efficiency, and security. Poor installation can lead to drafts, water leaks, and security issues.
• If the installation is done improperly, it may void your warranty.

• Window installation typically takes a few hours to a day depending on the type and number of windows. Door installation usually takes a few hours as well but may require additional time for customization or adjustments.

• Remove any furniture or obstacles near the area where installation will occur.
• Clear the exterior or interior of the windows and doors for easy access.
• Make arrangements for pets or young children to stay clear during installation.
• Remove blinds and curtains.

• Regularly clean glass with mild soap and water.
• Inspect weatherstripping and seals for wear and replace if necessary.
• Lubricate moving parts like sliders or casement hinges to ensure smooth operation.
• Check for drafts and air leaks and seal any gaps.

• Clean and inspect doors.
• Ensure that locks and handles are functioning properly and lubricate them as needed.

• Double or Triple-Paned Glass: More layers of glass offer better insulation.
• Low-E Coatings: Reflects heat and UV rays to reduce energy loss.
• Argon or Krypton Gas: Inert gasses between the panes that enhance insulation.
• Proper Seals and Weatherstripping: Keeps air from leaking in or out.

• Use Insulated Doors: Look for doors with core insulation to prevent heat transfer.
• Add Weatherstripping: Seal gaps around the doorframe to minimize heat loss.

• Low-E (low emissivity) glass has a special coating that reflects infrared light and UV rays, improving energy efficiency by keeping heat inside during winter and blocking heat from the sun in summer.

• This is usually a sign of seal failure. When the seal between the panes breaks, moisture can get trapped, causing condensation. You may need to replace the window or the sealed unit.

• Misalignment: The door may have shifted or settled out of alignment.
• Swelling: Wooden doors can swell due to humidity or temperature changes.
• Damaged Hinges: Check if hinges are worn or loose.
