Step-by-Step Process of New Window Installation from Boise Custom Windows

Boise, Idaho, with its stunning landscapes and dynamic seasons, offers a unique challenge and opportunity for homeowners when it comes to energy efficiency and home improvement. One of the most impactful upgrades you can make is installing new windows. New windows can enhance your home’s aesthetic appeal, improve energy efficiency, and increase property value. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how our professional installation team ensures a seamless window installation process for your Boise home. 

Step 1: Initial Consultation and Assessment 

Our process begins with a comprehensive consultation where we assess your current windows and discuss your goals. We look for signs of damage, drafts, condensation between panes, and difficulty in opening or closing. We also discuss your preferences regarding insulation, noise reduction, security, and aesthetics. 

Step 2: Custom Window Selection 

Given Boise’s climate, it’s essential to choose windows that offer excellent insulation. We help you select from a range of high-quality windows featuring double or triple-pane glass, low-E coatings, and argon gas fills. Our selection includes various styles (casement, double-hung, picture, etc.) and materials (vinyl, wood, fiberglass) to match your home’s architecture and your budget. 

Step 3: Accurate Measurements 

Accurate measurements are crucial for a perfect fit. Our professionals take precise measurements of each window opening from the inside, ensuring the new windows will fit perfectly. For non-standard sizes, we provide custom window solutions to meet your specific needs. 

Step 4: Permits and Compliance 

We handle all necessary permits and ensure that the project complies with Boise’s local building codes and regulations. This step includes coordinating with the City of Boise’s Planning and Development Services to streamline the approval process. 

Step 5: Workspace Preparation

To protect your home during installation, we carefully prepare the workspace. Our team removes window treatments, furniture, and any obstacles, covering floors and furniture with drop cloths or plastic sheets to prevent damage and maintain cleanliness. 

Step 6: Removal of Old Windows 

Our experienced team safely removes the old windows, starting with the sash and frame. Using specialized tools, we cut through any paint or caulk sealing the window, then gently lift the window out of the frame, taking care to avoid sharp edges and glass fragments.

Step 7: Inspection and Preparation of Openings 

After removing the old windows, we inspect the window openings for any damage or rot. Any issues are repaired using high-quality materials. We ensure the opening is clean, level, and debris-free to guarantee a snug fit for the new windows. 

Step 8: Installation of New Windows 

Our professionals expertly place the new window into the opening, starting from the bottom and tilting it into place. We ensure the window is level and square, securing it with screws or nails as per the manufacturer’s guidelines. Shims are used around the window to maintain its position during installation. 

Step 9: Insulation and Sealing 

We insulate around the window frame with low-expanding foam insulation to prevent drafts and enhance energy efficiency. Once the insulation is dry, we trim any excess and apply caulk around the exterior and interior edges to create a weather-tight seal. 

Step 10: Finishing Touches 

Our team installs interior trim or casing to give your new windows a polished look, matching your interior décor. On the exterior, we install flashing and trim to protect the window from the elements and enhance curb appeal, ensuring all components are securely in place and properly sealed. 

Step 11: Final Inspection and Cleanup 

A final inspection ensures your new windows operate smoothly and are properly sealed. We check for any gaps or drafts and make necessary adjustments. The windows are cleaned, protective films removed, and the workspace tidied, leaving your home looking immaculate. 

Step 12: Enjoy the Benefits 

With your new windows professionally installed, you can enjoy improved comfort, reduced energy bills, and enhanced aesthetic appeal. Your home will be better equipped to handle Boise’s seasonal changes, providing you with a more enjoyable living environment year-round.
