Window installation typically refers to new construction or adding windows where none existed before, requiring structural modification and precise framing work. Replacement involves removing existing windows and installing new ones within the current opening, focusing on preserving interior and exterior finishes while upgrading performance. We excel at both services, but most Terry homeowners choose replacement to upgrade older, inefficient windows without major structural changes. During our assessment, we’ll recommend the best approach based on your home’s specific conditions, your goals, and whether you’re maintaining existing opening sizes or seeking layout changes.

Most whole-house window replacements can be completed within 2-4 days for an average Terry home, while new window installations might require 3-5 days depending on structural modifications needed. Door replacements typically take 4-6 hours per unit, while new door installations might require 1-2 days depending on framing work. Combined window and door projects generally take 3-7 days depending on the scope of work. We provide detailed timelines during your consultation and work efficiently to minimize disruption while maintaining our high standards of quality craftsmanship.

For Terry’s climate, we recommend vinyl or fiberglass windows for their excellent resistance to humidity and temperature fluctuations. Vinyl offers superior insulation and requires no maintenance, while fiberglass provides exceptional strength and durability. For doors, fiberglass and steel outperform wood in our climate, offering better resistance to moisture warping and insect damage. Both materials provide excellent energy efficiency and security when properly installed. During your consultation, we’ll explain the specific benefits of each material for your home’s orientation, style, and performance requirements.

Absolutely. We frequently help Terry homeowners with phased projects that address needs as budget and timing allow. Many homeowners start with the most problematic windows or the front door for immediate curb appeal improvement, then address remaining units in subsequent phases. We can develop a phased plan that ensures consistency in product selection and installation quality across all stages. This approach allows you to spread investment over time while still enjoying the benefits of upgrades as you complete each phase of your home improvement project.
