How Long Does It Take To Replace One Window?

Let’s say that you’re walking by one of your home’s windows on an especially windy day. In an ideal situation, you shouldn’t be able to feel any significant air coming at you. But, what happens when you feel a draft? This is one of the most surefire signs of needing to replace a window. There are plenty of questions to ask about the window replacement process – especially at times of year when weather elements hit their extremes! With this in mind, you should have a good idea of the length of time the window replacement process takes. We’ll give you the information you need below!

Factors That Affect Installation Time

The question of the length of time it takes to replace one window isn’t one that has just one answer! In most scenarios, installation time can be as short as two hours and as long as six hours. The reason for such a variance in the waiting period is due to a variety of factors both inside and outside of your control. The most important ones are listed here!

• Window Type & Size: Our team can install a wide variety of windows from top brands in the country. It should go without saying that some windows are bigger than others! The bigger your windows are, the more time it will take to perfectly install them. For example, bay windows and bow windows are significantly bigger than most windows, so they’ll have a longer installation time. Casement windows are the opposite – since they’re shorter, it’s a relatively painless process!

• Ease Of Access: One thing that you’ll need to consider before you purchase a replacement window is where you want it to go. Smaller windows placed in bathrooms or hallways are much easier, since they can be accessed without a ladder or other equipment. If you’re trying to install a skylight or a window at a higher elevation, it’s going to take a lot longer!

• Extensive Rot or Damage: Most of the time, installing replacement windows first means that you’ll need to take the old one out. How old and damaged it is will play a role in installation time! If there’s a lot of damage or rot to the window structure, repairs will need to be made before the new one can be placed in.
