Installation

The Best Time of Year to Replace Windows

Key takeaways

  • Windows can be installed all year
  • Mild weather is the easiest, but winter jobs are fine with a good crew
  • Order early, since custom windows take weeks

Spring and fall

Mild weather is comfortable for the crew and the house, and a few hours with a window open is no problem. Spring and fall can be busy, so book early.

Fall projects lock in comfort before winter.

Summer and winter

Summer installs are fine, with a little more attention to heat and storms. Winter installs are common too, because an experienced crew works one opening at a time and seals each before moving on.

Sealants and foam work best within their temperature ranges, which a good installer plans for.

Plan ahead

The biggest factor is lead time. Windows are built to order, so ordering a few weeks ahead for the season you want is wise. Our estimate includes an honest timeline.

Quick answers
