What Does Window Installation Involve Beyond the Glass?

Window installation involves the whole opening, not just setting a new unit in the frame. How well a window performs depends as much on how it's sealed into the wall as on the window itself. A typical installation includes:

• Removing the old window carefully to limit damage to the surrounding wall and trim
• Inspecting the opening for rot, moisture damage, or framing problems
• Repairing the opening if needed, before the new window goes in
• Setting and leveling the new window so it opens, closes, and locks smoothly
• Flashing and sealing to keep water out of the wall
• Insulating gaps around the frame to stop drafts
• Finishing the interior and exterior trim

When any of these steps are skipped, even a well-built window can leak air or water.

How Do Hail, Sun, and Temperature Swings Affect Windows Here?

Colorado Springs windows take hail, strong UV, wind, and big daily temperature changes, and each one wears on a different part of the window.

Hail

Hail can crack glass, tear screens, and dent or chip frames and exterior trim.

Sun

Intense high-altitude sunlight fades frames, breaks down seals and caulk, and can heat rooms that face south and west.

Temperature Swings

Frames and glass expand and contract as temperatures change between day and night and from season to season. Over time, that movement can loosen seals and open gaps.

Wind

Strong winds push air through any gap around the frame and drive rain against the glass and sill.

Which Features Matter Most in a New Window Installation?

The features that matter most in a new window installation are how well the window resists heat flow, how much solar heat it lets in, and how tightly it seals against air. The National Fenestration Rating Council labels windows with ratings that make these comparisons easier:

• U-factor: how well the window keeps heat from escaping (lower is better)
• Solar heat gain coefficient: how much heat from sunlight passes through
• Air leakage: how much air gets through the window itself

We'll walk you through these ratings, along with frame materials, styles, and how each option fits your home's design and the direction each window faces.

When Is It Time for Home Window Installation?

It's time for home window installation when your windows are damaged, hard to operate, or no longer keeping out drafts and moisture. 

Watch out for:

• Cracked or broken glass
• Drafts around the frame
• Windows that stick, won't stay open, or won't lock
• Fog or condensation between the panes
• Warped, cracked, or deteriorating frames
• Gaps around the window opening
• Water stains or moisture near the window
• Faded or peeling exterior trim
• Windows that no longer fit the look of your home

If the problem is limited to a single window or component, a repair or glass replacement may be enough. We'll tell you which option makes more sense.

Should You Replace Windows During a Siding or Roof Project?

House window installation is often easier and more effective when it's timed with a siding project. With the siding off, we can flash and seal each window to the wall more thoroughly, and the new trim and siding fit around the new windows cleanly.

If the same storm damaged your roof, siding, and windows, planning them together can also simplify the insurance process and give your home a consistent, finished look.

What Happens on Installation Day?

Residential window installation follows a steady routine, so your home stays as livable as possible during the work:

1. Preparation: We protect floors, furniture, and landscaping near the work areas.
2. Removal and inspection: Old windows come out, and we check each opening for damage.
3. Installation: New windows are set, leveled, flashed, sealed, and insulated.
4. Trim and finish: We complete the interior and exterior trim.
5. Walkthrough: We check that each window opens, closes, and locks properly, then review the work with you.
6. Cleanup: We clean the work areas and run a magnetic nail sweep under our Dollar Back Nail Guarantee®.

Will Insurance Cover Hail-Damaged Windows?

It may. When hail or wind damage is covered under your policy, cracked glass, torn screens, and damaged frames may be part of your claim. After a qualifying storm, our insurance restoration professionals inspect your windows along with the roof, siding, and gutters, document the damage, and walk you through the claim process.
