During Window Installation, How Long Will You Be Without Windows?

At the time of this writing, Sacramento is experiencing extremely high temperatures, reaching up to 100 degrees. The thought of being without windows during such extreme heat can be concerning, especially for families, all while we’re in the middle of one of the worst pest seasons we’d had in a long time.

If you’re considering replacing your windows, you might be wondering how long the installation process will take and if you’ll be left without windows for an extended period, forced to struggle with the heat and the bugs.

Does Window Installation Take a Long Time?

Window installation can be fast or slow depending on installation method, but you do not have to worry about being without your windows for long. Our installers at Cal Energy ensure that each window is fully installed before moving on to the next. They work diligently on one window at a time, completing it even if it requires working a bit longer. Emergencies that delay window completion are very rare, and you can generally expect never to be without a window overnight.

Still, installation speed can differ considerably depending on your window installation method:

• Retrofit Windows – Also known as replacement windows, these are installed into the existing window frame. This method requires less labor and can result in 10 to 15 windows being installed in a single day, depending on their size and location.
• New Construction Windows – Also referred to as full-frame windows, these involve removing the entire existing window and frame, then installing a new window with new framing, drywall, and siding. This process is more labor-intensive and typically results in 2 to 3 windows being installed per day, depending on the team’s size and the window’s specifications. That means installation can take as long as 5 days or more for a whole house.

Regardless of the type of window, our goal at Cal Energy is to minimize the time your home is exposed to the elements. Typically, you won’t be without a window blocking the entrance for more than 15 to 30 minutes during the installation process.

During the actual installation, there will be a brief period when the old window is removed and the new one is not yet installed. This process is quick, ensuring minimal exposure to the elements. Our installers work room by room or window by window, so you are never without multiple windows at once. This method helps maintain your home’s security and comfort throughout the day.
