FAQ
ask us
anything
How long does window and door installation typically take?
The duration of window and door installation varies depending on several factors, including the type and size of the windows or doors, any necessary modifications to your home’s structure, and the expertise of the installation team. In general, a standard installation for a single window or door can take a few hours to a full day, while more complex projects may require additional time.
Do I need to be present during the installation process?
As professionals, we can perform the installation efficiently even if you’re not present, as long as we have access to the work areas and any necessary keys or codes. However, it is advisable to be present during the installation, especially for the initial stages, to address any questions or concerns that may arise.
What should I do to prepare my home for window and door installation?
Before our installation team arrives, clear the work areas of any obstructions and fragile items. It’s also a good idea to remove window treatments, curtains, or blinds. Depending on the extent of the installation, you may need to move furniture away from the windows or doors being replaced. During our estimate, we will provide specific instructions to prepare your home based on the project’s requirements.
Can I choose custom designs or sizes for my windows and doors?
Yes! We use Home Guard windows and doors which offer customization options to suit your preferences and home’s unique needs. You can choose from various materials, styles, colors, and sizes to achieve the desired look and functionality. Discuss your customization options with us to ensure your new windows and doors align with your vision.
The Process
Inspect
First, we come out to visually inspect the space and take measurements to provide an accurate estimate and see is expanding the existing opening may be necessary.
Estimate
We'll meet with you to discuss your vision and budget as well as our estimated cost, timeline, necessary repairs, and product recommendations.
Prep
We start by planning the new desired layout, selecting the appropriate window and door styles and materials, ordering the products, obtaining any necessary permits, and ensuring the work areas are clear.
Demolish
Next, we begin removing the existing windows or doors that need to be replaced, and expanding the existing opening if needed. For the safety of you and your family, we'll clean up the demolition area throughout the process.
Install
Finally, we begin working on installing new windows or doors. Once the new windows or doors are securely in place, they are sealed, insulated, and trimmed to ensure proper functionality, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal.

Casement Windows
These windows swing open to the side, similar to a door, providing excellent ventilation and a tight seal when closed. They are great for modern and contemporary homes.
Awning Windows
Awning windows hinge at the top and open outward, creating an awning-like effect. They’re excellent for ventilation, even during light rain, and are often placed above or below other windows.
Bay & Bow Windows
Bay windows typically consist of three panels, while bow windows usually feature four or more window units – a large center window and angled side windows. They create a rounded space with a nook, allowing more natural light, a panoramic view, and an elegant look.
