Common Questions About Window Replacement
How can I tell if my Madison home needs window replacement?
Look for these signs that indicate it's time to replace your windows: visible condensation between glass panes; drafts you can feel near closed windows; windows that are difficult to open or close; increasing energy bills; exterior paint peeling or wood rot around frames; and excessive outside noise penetration. In Madison's older neighborhoods like Vilas or Marquette, windows over 25-30 years old typically lack the energy-efficient features found in modern windows and may be prime candidates for replacement.
What window styles work best for different Madison home styles?
Madison's diverse architectural landscape calls for thoughtful window selection. For craftsman bungalows common in neighborhoods like Schenk-Atwood, double-hung windows with divided lites maintain period authenticity. Mid-century modern homes in areas like Maple Bluff often benefit from casement and awning styles that provide clean lines and maximum ventilation. Victorian homes in historic districts may require custom wood windows to maintain architectural integrity. Ranch-style homes throughout Madison subur
How long does window installation take for a typical Madison home?
For most Madison residences, professional window replacement takes 1-2 days depending on the number of windows and access considerations. Factors that may extend timing include: historic home considerations in neighborhoods like University Heights where special care is needed; extensive rot repair which is more common in homes near Lake Mendota or Monona due to increased moisture exposure; custom window requirements; and challenging weather conditions common during Wisconsin's transitional seasons. Our installation teams work efficiently while never compromising on quality or attention to detail.
What should I expect during the window installation process?
Our process begins with covering furniture and flooring in work areas to protect your home. Typically, we remove and replace windows one at a time to minimize exposure to outdoor elements—particularly important during Madison's winter months. Each window opening is carefully prepared with proper insulation and flashing before the new window is installed, sealed, and trimmed. Our crews conduct thorough cleanup at the end of each workday and perform a complete walkthrough with you after installation to demonstrate operation and ensure your complete satisfaction.
