What do customers ask about Window Replacement?
Common questions and tips from our work with Lansing customers.
What signs mean it is time to replace a window?
Condensation or fog between the glass panes means the sealed unit has failed and can no longer insulate. Soft or peeling sash frames, windows that stick or refuse to lock, and rooms that stay cold in winter or hot in summer are also clear signals. Many Lansing homes from the mid-century era have original wood units that are past the point where repairs make sense.
How long does a window replacement job take?
Most single-home jobs of this kind take one to two days, depending on the number of units and the condition of the rough openings. A dozen similar-sized windows in sound framing moves fast. Older homes where the sill or the surrounding wood has rotted take longer, because that framing gets repaired before a new unit is set.
What do I need to do to prepare for the crew?
Clear a working path to each window, inside and out, and move curtains, blinds, and valuables off the sills. Note any unit that binds or leaks and mention it at the start, so it gets extra attention. Plan for a day of intermittent noise and open access through the work areas.
Can I replace a window myself or should I hire a pro?
A same-size insert unit in good framing is within reach of a careful DIYer. Full-frame replacement is different: the opening gets measured, the old frame comes out, and the rough opening may need shimming, insulation, and sill repair. A unit set out of level or sealed poorly leaks air and water for years, so precision work is where a contractor earns the call.
Tip
Sealed glass units and what fails first
Modern replacement windows use double-pane insulated glass units, typically filled with argon gas and rated by U-factor, where a lower number means better insulation. The seal between the panes is the part that fails with age, which is why fogging appears between the glass rather than on it. Exterior sealant around a new unit needs about 24 hours to fully cure, so heavy rain on install day is worth planning around.
