Window replacement can take some time. From the time to order new window replacement parts and windows to installation can be up to six weeks. Most contractors can install over a dozen windows per day, especially in better weather. Several key factors will influence the timeline for installation.
Weather
One of the biggest factors that can affect your window installation will be the weather. Needless to say, the summer can be booked for weeks ahead of time. Humidity and heat may affect the contractors. The good weather and sunshine make it ideal for installation. In colder climates, installing during the fall or spring can be ideal.
Installing your windows and doors during the cold winter months may lead to some discounts. Usually, the temperature needs to be above freezing levels for contractors to install windows. However, you might find that you can enjoy some discounts during the winter weather. Contractors may offer lower discounts during these slower times. Additionally, you won’t have to wait as long for installation.
Type of Windows
If you select vinyl windows or doors from a local manufacturer, the timeline shortens. Quick availability ensures you will have your windows in a timely fashion. More customized windows or special orders may take a little longer. Speak with your contractor about the best options for your needs and budget.
How Many Windows?
Consider that the average contractor can install about a dozen windows in a day. If you replace an entire house of windows you may have a longer installation time. Take into consideration the weather, timing of delivery, and preparing your home. You want to make sure that your house is ready for the installation. Keep pets and small children away from the area. Protect artwork and valuables. Drop cloths will protect your flooring and furniture.
