Fastest turnarounds for replacement windows in Michigan
Getting your windows replaced can be a little scary, stressful, and overwhelming when you’re first getting started. The more you learn about it though the easier it becomes. Here is some basic knowledge about getting replacement windows with us. Most homeowners only go through the process of replacing their windows once or twice in a lifetime. Knowing what is going to happen next can make you feel more prepared and confident with the work that’s happening within your home.
Here’s the process broken down into 4 simple steps to give you an understanding of what to expect from start to finish:
Step 1: Measurements and Estimate
When you call or email you will be speaking directly with Tim or Ben. At this time we will gather information on what your project needs are, answer any initial questions, and schedule your estimate. At the estimate we will come out, measure, and give you an official quote for your project. This first appointment and any necessary follow up ones are at no cost to you. When you decide to move forward we will order your windows and schedule the installation date.
Step 2: Removing Old Windows
Understandably, this can be the most worrisome step involved in the house window replacement process for homeowners. Typical concerns are that the homes walls or flooring will be damaged during the removal process. We can assure you that we take all the proper precautions needed to protect your home during the window installation process.
Drop cloths and other necessary protective materials will cover the flooring. To remove the old window the installers will first remove any old caulk, and seals, and pop out the glass one by one.
The rest of the removal will vary slightly based on the materials of the existing window and its surroundings.
Step 3: Installing New Window
Step 4: Trimming the New Window
Caulking and trimming the edges of the window frame is the final step of installing your homes new windows. Not only does this complete the barrier between the indoors and outdoors, it creates a smooth transition between window barrier and wall. Professional caulking is done on the inside and outside of the new window.

Replacement Window Installation
Double Hung Windows
Double-hung windows can be raised from the bottom or lowered from the top for two levels of ventilation. The sashes also lean in for convenient cleaning.
Awning Windows
Awning windows are hinged at the top and swing outward from the bottom. They glide open and shut with the turn of one easy-to-reach handle. Awning windows are often placed above or below other windows to add light or architectural interest.
Hopper Windows
A hopper window is similar to an awning window, except that it vents at the top and opens into your room instead of out. It is usually placed above other doors and windows for extra light and ventilation.
Casement Windows
Bay Windows
Bay windows are typically a fixed window in the center joined together with your choice of venting windows on each side.
Tilt-Turn Windows
Tilt-turn windows offer European styling and dual functionality. The sash opens two ways, giving you ventilation flexibility. Simply turn the handle 90 degrees to swing the window sash open into your room for a clear view and a full breeze. Or, if you want just a little fresh air, a 180-degree turn of the handle tilts the sash in to vent from the top.
Specialty Windows
Specialty windows and special shapes such as circles, triangles, and arches are also available.
Replacement Window Frame Material Choices
Vinyl replacement windows are the most popular window choice. They are easy to care for and energy-efficient. Vinyl windows won’t need painting, staining or refinishing. They have fully welded sashes and frames that add strength and durability.
Wood replacement windows offer beauty and comfort. Wood is not only beautiful, it’s a natural insulator from the heat and cold, to help keep you more comfortable all year. Wood also gives you more design options, including interior and exterior colors, shapes, sizes and between-the-glass blinds, shades and grills. Wood windows can be aluminum, vinyl clad, or painted on the exterior.
Fiberglass replacement windows are high performing, low-maintenance windows that have the quality look of painted wood. They are durable, patented fiberglass composite that can withstand extreme heat and subzero cold. And, they are highly energy efficient.
