Window Replacement FAQs in Houston, TX

Do you want new windows, doors, or siding for your home but want to learn more about how the process works? Wallaby Windows of Houston is here to help. We've collected a list of essential window replacement FAQs. We serve homes in Houston, TX, and surrounding areas with home improvement installations. Our company will educate you on our process and important project details so you are informed from the beginning to the end of your project.

Our installations begin with a consultation, during which we'll provide you with a free estimate. Measurements will be taken to establish sizes and specs. You'll then choose your window, door, or siding materials and products. On the installation day, we'll remove the current window, door, or siding and clean the area to prepare for the new installation. After the installation is complete, we'll provide a final inspection to ensure the job was done right.

The time your installation process takes will depend on the scope of your project and the number of products being installed. A simple window job shouldn’t take too long to complete, while significant installations like replacing siding on entire walls may take longer. Weather and outdoor factors may also contribute to your project timeline. We'll assess your project and property to determine an estimated time of completion.

Routine and scheduled windows, doors, and siding maintenance often includes cleaning the product and inspecting its parts and components. Professionals may assess seals and caulking work and refresh it to prevent air, water, and moisture from entering your home. They may also check glazing and insulation to ensure your home's internal temperature is regulated correctly. Repair work may also be needed for any broken or damaged components.

There are some tell-tale signs that your windows, doors, or siding may need to be replaced. You should consider getting new ones if:

You notice obvious signs of damage, such as cracks, chips, and breaks.

The paint is faded or peeling, or it looks worn or old.

Mold or mildew is growing. This suggests water or moisture damage.

You’re unable to open or close your windows properly.

Drafts or cold spots are in your home, even on a hot day.

It is possible to install it yourself, but only if you have the proper training, skills, and experience. If you are new to installation or have no prior background, you could make mistakes that set back your budget and timeline. Safety is also a concern. Window installations often require heavy-duty tools, machinery, and glass. If your equipment malfunctions or is misused, it could cause injury. We recommend hiring professionals to fulfill your project safely and correctly.
