If you’re thinking about replacing your windows, you’ve probably asked yourself (or your spouse) something like:
“Will this be a huge mess? Or Will my house feel like a construction zone for days?”
We get it, window replacement sounds like a big deal. After all, it’s cutting into walls, removing old glass, and putting in brand new windows. So yeah, it’s going to shake things up a bit, but the good news is: it doesn’t have to be a nightmare.
Here’s what you can expect when you work with us at Glacier Glass.
Preparation: Setting the Stage for a Smooth Job
Before we ever start, we make sure the workspace is protected.
We cover your floors and furniture near the windows with drop cloths and plastic sheeting, kind of like giving your home a mini raincoat.
We also take time to carefully remove window treatments and anything fragile nearby, so nothing gets damaged.
The Replacement Process (What Actually Happens)
- Old Window Removal: We carefully remove the old window and frame. This part can be a little dusty, but we use tarps and plastic barriers to keep dust from spreading through your home.
- Cleanup & Prep: Once the old window is out, we clean the opening, remove any old caulk or debris, and make sure everything is ready for the new window.
- New Window Installation: The new window is fitted in place, sealed tightly with high-quality insulation and caulking to keep your home airtight and energy-efficient.
Finishing Touches: We reinstall trim or add new finishing details if needed and make sure everything looks sharp.
How Messy Is It Really?
There will be some dust, especially during removal, but with proper preparation and containment, it’s never out-of-control. We vacuum and wipe down the area daily, and when we’re done, we leave your home clean and tidy.
Many of our customers say it’s less messy than they expected!
How Long Does It Take?
Most window replacements take a few hours per window. So depending on how many windows you’re replacing, the whole project could be done in a day or two.
We work efficiently and clean as we go to keep disruption to a minimum.
What Should You Do to Prepare?
- Clear the area around the windows so we have easy access
- Remove fragile or valuable items near windows
- Prepare for some noise and light dust (we promise it won’t be crazy)
- Plan for your windows to be open during installation, so ventilation is good
