When it comes time for a big home improvement, many people’s first thought is, “Can I do this myself?” While DIY projects can be fulfilling and save money, few people find that to be the case with window installation. It’s a tough job that demands precision.
The cost of window installation is more than justified by greater energy savings in the future, a more attractive appearance, and by saving your stress levels.
Window Installation
Squaring Up
The old advice to “measure twice, cut once,” only begins to scratch the surface when it comes to proper window installation. A shim that’s off by 1/16” could make your new windows difficult to open and doomed to leak air.
Even with custom window replacements, the new unit doesn’t just get slid into place. Wood might need to be cut to fill gaps, and everything needs to be not only plumb and square but also tightly sealed.
Expecting the Unexpected
You never know what you’ll find upon removing a window. Nobody wants to find mold—that dramatic turn of events that seems to happen on every episode of an HGTV show—or discover that your window installation will be impossible because you bought too large a size.
