How Long Does Window Replacement Take? What to Expect on Install Day

Timeline

Most crews install 8-15 windows in a single day. A whole-home project of 15-20 windows typically takes 1-3 days. Custom or full-frame jobs with repairs take longer, and lead times for ordered windows can run several weeks.

Preparing your home

Clear furniture and window treatments, unlock and clear access to each opening, and plan for some indoor/outdoor traffic. Pets and small children should be kept away from work areas.

After install

Inspect each window for smooth operation, even reveals, and a clean caulk line. Keep your paperwork - proper professional installation per manufacturer instructions is required to keep the warranty valid.
