What Time Of Year Is Best For Whole House Window Replacement?
The best time to start for replacements is now! Because all of the windows that McCloud Windows provides are custom made we encourage our clients to plan in advance. This allows us the appropriate time to measure your windows, help you decide on the design and window type, and place your custom order. We also can schedule the installation with plenty of time to plan for the window replacements. Waiting will only slow down the process and make scheduling your window installation more difficult. Continue reading to learn about the best seasons to schedule your window replacement.
Warmer Weather for Replacing Windows
Many homeowners prefer the warmer months for replacing windows. While it may be hot, the temperatures in the warmer months are much more comfortable than the extreme cold of winter. Warmer periods of the year are more forgiving, and a house will cool off at night. When replacing windows in the Summer you also have the advantage of longer sunlight hours. Depending on how many windows you are replacing the installation may be done in just a single day during the Summer. For many the benefit of having the replacement fully completed in one day may greatly outweigh dealing with the hotter outdoor weather. The summer season may be the best time of the year to schedule your replacement.
Summer: Peak Window Installation Season
One of the downsides to scheduling a Summer installation is that it’s the peak season to replace windows. The busy season can be harder to schedule, especially if you’re not scheduling far in advance. Before the installation can take place we order your windows to be custom-made. All of the windows we install are manufactured locally to fit your exact specifications!
If you plan ahead and can schedule the replacement there is less of a concern. Scheduling an appointment early will help to lock in a date during your ideal timeframe. Planning a summer installation can be an excellent experience for homeowners.
Year-Round Window Replacement
Some homeowners may prefer to have their home’s windows replaced in the winter. Off-season installation can be easier to schedule because many window replacement businesses are less busy. In areas like Ohio where winter temperatures frequently drop below freezing Spring and Fall are also great times to schedule the installation. McCloud Windows provides window replacement throughout the entire year and works with homeowners to schedule the installations during the time that works best! When scheduling your window replacement it’s important to take into account different factors like the weather, outdoor temperatures, if you’re vacating during the installation process, and more. During extreme cold periods, the chilly air may enter your home making living there temporarily uncomfortable. Speaking with a window professional will provide clarity on your options and what best suits your lifestyle.
Is It Time to Replace Your Windows?
The decision to replace the windows of your home is a big one and is often something homeowners consider for a long time. Some signs are more obvious, like condensation between the window panes, or windows that have warped frames and aren’t even able to slide open. Some signs that may not be as obvious are slight drafts, which can allow a lot of cold air into your home and cause your energy bill to increase. Old windows that aren’t well sealed also allow noise pollution into your home. Windows that are in good condition should block out a significant amount of outdoor sound.
Home Window Inspections
If you’re not sure whether it’s time to replace your windows you can schedule an inspection with McCloud Windows. We will send one of our window experts to your property to inspect the condition of the windows. We can determine whether a replacement is necessary, or if your windows are still in good enough condition to be repaired and maintained for several more years. Reach out to McCloud Windows to speak with someone if you’re looking for a professional opinion.
Planning for Your New Windows
Planning gets you the best results, so we always encourage our clients to contact us as early as possible. This will give us time to discuss your needs, and window solutions, narrow down designs, and discuss additional features. Once you’re ready we can send your order off and schedule your installation!
Our Process: From Design to Installation
With the guidance of a professional making difficult decisions about your windows becomes straightforward. We will provide details on different design options, types of windows, and information on additional options like insulation gas. During this point, we will also create an estimate for the work being done!
After finalizing the decisions on your windows we take measurements. Every window that we are replacing will be measured so every window will fit perfectly. We work with a local window manufacturer to have custom windows made for each of our clients.
With windows made to the specifications of your home, we reduce the chance of errors and simplify the installation process. Our local partner will be manufacturing the windows for your specific home.
Once the windows are manufactured and the scheduled installation date arrives our team will begin replacing your windows! With standard windows, we are able to replace up to 10 in a single day. For larger homes or unique window designs this process can require more labor, but we pride ourselves on balancing attention to detail and efficiency. After placing every window we thoroughly seal them with high-grade caulk. This creates higher energy efficiency and reduces any serious seal breaking.
