Installation Process for Replacement Windows & Doors in New Orleans

[ Our Process ]

What to Expect on Window Installation Day

The thought of having your windows replaced can be a bit overwhelming! Many of our homeowners don’t fully understand how simple window and door installations can be, so we want to answer some common questions.

Common questions that you might have:

We want our customers to be fully informed on what to expect from the installation process. These are a few of the most common questions we get from customers before they pull the trigger on replacement windows.

  • Will my interior window trim be damaged or need to be replaced?
  • Are my window blinds still going to fit with new windows?
  • Will the installation process take days or even weeks to complete?
  • How much is the installation going to cost me?
  • How long will it take to get my windows installed after placing my order?

What to Expect When Having New Windows Installed

1.   Installation Gets Underway

Your order will be ready in about 3 weeks. Someone from our team will always call ahead of time to inform you they are in route. You will be greeted by our courteous and professional crew members, who will give you an overview of how the day will go. Depending on the job, your installation could take as little as a few hours or up to 2 days. You will be informed ahead of time if window blinds will need to be removed. And YES! Your current window blinds will fit the replacement windows. No need to spend extra money on replacing your blinds after purchasing new windows.

2.   Removing the Old Windows

First off, the window installation is FREE. Our crew will cover your floors for protection. Next, they will remove the window stop, which is the small piece of wood that runs vertically between the window sashes and the trim around the windows.

Now, the old wooden sashes and sash rails will be removed without damaging any of the interior trim around your existing opening. The interior trim will not need to be replaced after the window installation.

3. New Windows Are Ready to Be Put in Place

The installation crew will make sure the window opening is clean and clear of any debris. Next, your new vinyl double-hung windows will be installed in the existing opening and checked for proper alignment. The window will be plumb, level, and square when fastening the window to the frame. The window will be tested to make sure it is operating correctly. The installation crew will make sure the window has been insulated on the exterior of the home as well. Finally, the window stop will be reinstalled to its original position and caulked for an airtight seal.

4. That’s it!

Our installation crew will do a walk through with you to make sure you are 100% satisfied with the job that has been completed.

Bernita J.
I had 10 windows replaced. The team was outstanding! They were professional and respectful of my property. Thoroughly cleaned the worksite. Myles took a lot of time helping me to understand which type of windows I needed. Did triple pane across the front for sturdiness and noise reduction. Tommy came by to assess entry doors. Very pleased...

I must give my highest praises to the contractor, Tommy Weigle, for doing an excellent job!  He had his crew working on my schedule and did a conscious job replacing my old windows.  I highly recommend using Windows Source.  I live out of town and was worried about not having eyes on the window replacement project....

Tommy was great to work with.  Stayed in touch with us during unforeseen delays, which is big in our book.  Said he and his crew would be at our house for a certain time and they were.  His crew was courteous and respectful.  Highly recommend
