What Happens During Window Work

Your project begins with a measurement visit to confirm rough opening dimensions, sill condition, and exterior cladding type. For installation, the old unit comes out, the opening is checked for level and square, then the new window is set, shimmed, fastened, and sealed with low-expansion foam and exterior caulking. Vinyl, wood, and composite frames each require slightly different fastening patterns.

After installation or repair, you see tight perimeter contact, smooth operation when you open and close the sash, and no visible daylight around the frame. Interior temperatures stabilize faster, and outside noise becomes noticeably quieter in rooms with new or resealed windows.

Inspection work involves checking each unit for condensation between panes, testing lock engagement, looking for wood rot in sills, and measuring gaps with a flashlight and straightedge. FINAO Construction documents findings and provides a written summary with photos when requested.

Common Questions About Window Work

Homeowners in Kent often ask about timing, materials, and what to do when a window stops working correctly.

What is the difference between window repair and replacement?
Repair addresses isolated issues like broken hardware, cracked glass, or failing weatherstripping while keeping the original frame. Replacement involves removing the entire unit and installing a new frame and sash assembly.
How long does window installation take?
A single window typically takes two to three hours, including removal, prep, installation, insulation, and exterior sealing. Multi-unit projects spread over one or two days depending on access and weather.
When should I schedule a window inspection?
You should schedule an inspection when you notice drafts, condensation between panes, difficulty opening or closing units, or before listing your home. Inspections also help prioritize which windows need work first.
What types of windows does FINAO Construction install?
FINAO Construction installs double-hung, casement, slider, and fixed picture windows in vinyl, wood, and composite frames. Material choice depends on your home's style, your maintenance preference, and budget.
Why do windows fog up between the panes?
Fogging between panes means the insulated glass unit seal has failed, allowing moisture to enter the airspace. This reduces insulation value and requires replacing the glass unit or the entire window depending on frame condition.

If your windows let in cold air, show moisture between the glass, or need inspection before a transaction, contact FINAO Construction to schedule an evaluation in Kent.
