Do you install replacement windows year-round? If so, will I lose a lot of heat/cooling at the time of installation?

Yes, Window World installs replacement windows 365 days a year. Typically installation takes one day. Each window is installed one at a time by our trained installers who do whatever is necessary to minimize heating/cooling loss. The energy savings from the new windows will recover any additional costs incurred within a few days.

What does “Any Size, Installed” mean?

The term “Any Size” refers to any size replacement double hung window our manufacturer will construct. Currently, this is a minimum width and height of 15″ X 26″ and a maximum of 48″ X 78″. “Installed” refers to the removal of a basic double-hung wooden window and installing your new Window World Double-Hung replacement window, using the existing wooden stops.

Will the replacement windows be installed from the inside or outside?

Most often our replacement windows are installed from the inside. Depending on the situation, it may be necessary to install from the outside.

How long will it take to get my replacement windows? How much time should I allow for the installation?

Window World of Fort Wayne installs your replacement windows within 4-8 weeks from the date that the final measurements are taken. The amount of time needed to install your replacement windows depends on the type of replacement window being installed and type being removed. On average, each window takes about 30 minutes. Expect additional time for trim work and cleanup. An average job will take a single day.

How can I prepare my house for my replacement windows?

It would be helpful for you to take down curtains, blinds or any other window treatments. In addition, have your security company remove and turn off your security sensors. Please move anything that may be in the way to clear a path to the window(s) being replaced for our installation experts. We also suggest you remove all wall decorations from the walls close to the windows to prevent them from falling during removal or installation.
