Here’s what typically happens:
🔹 Protecting Your Home
We begin by laying down drop cloths and protecting floors, furniture, and nearby surfaces to keep your home clean and safe.
🔹 Removing the Old Windows
Your existing windows are carefully removed without damaging surrounding trim or siding. We inspect the opening to make sure the framing is solid and ready for the new window.

Each new ProVia window is:
-
Set square and level
-
Properly insulated around the frame
-
Airtight sealed to prevent drafts and leaks
-
Securely fastened for long-term performance
This step is critical — proper installation is what makes your windows energy-efficient and draft-free.
🔹 Interior & Exterior Finishing
We install new interior trim as needed and finish the exterior for a clean, professional appearance that blends beautifully with your home.
⏱️ How Long Does Window Installation Take?
Most replacement window installations take:
-
30–60 minutes per window

Many homes are completed in one day
