Common Window Installation Mistakes:

Not Adhering to Installation Standards

Most windows available in the market today share similar installation methods. However, certain manufacturers may provide special requirements that installers must adhere to no matter what. When we install windows, we see to it that we follow the brand’s recommended installation requirements. This way, you can enjoy your new windows’ numerous benefits, from long-term performance to exceptional beauty.

Leaving Stains and Smudges on Windows

Whether it is a standalone project or in conjunction with a home addition or remodel, our window installation process involves handling the replacement window units with care from the time we deliver them to your home. As we install them, we make sure not to leave foam and sealant smears on the glass and frames. Expect them to look good when we perform a final inspection and demonstration in front of you.

Misusing the Spray Foam

Expanding spray foam is often used to fill the gaps and spaces between the windows’ frames and the opening to ensure a weatherproof and airtight seal. Amateur installers, however, can easily make errors while using this important tool. Dispensing the foam too much or too little is a sign of poor window installation, leading to insulation issues that may affect your home’s energy efficiency.
