Window Replacement In Raleigh: When Is The
Best Time Of Year To Complete This Project?

Learn When To Plan Your Home Window Replacement
For The Best Results For YOU


A window replacement in Raleigh is a relatively large project to undertake in your home. Thus, many worries may hold you back from replacing your windows.

For example, some homeowners worry about affording their replacement windows. Luckily, most professional installers offer financing plans to help you pay monthly for the windows your home may need.

Another major worry for homeowners is determining when they should replace their windows. Are some times of the year better for replacing your windows than others?

This is a question that many homeowners ask. And most people are surprised by the answer!


Window Replacement Can Happen Any Time Of The Year

The good news is that you aren’t limited when you can replace your windows. Yes, window replacement can happen even during the dead of winter. Window replacements can happen during the intense summer heat and, of course, happen quite frequently during the spring and summer.

With that being said, the key to determining when the best time of the year is to replace your windows is to find what works best for you.


How To Determine When To Schedule Your
Window Replacement

Here at the Window Depot of Raleigh, we have replaced windows at various times of the year, even a few weeks before the holidays, if that works best for the customer. Along with carrying the best windows on the market, we strive to ensure we work with our customers to arrange their installation for a time that works best for their schedule.

But how does a customer decide when is the best time for them to have their windows replaced?

Here are some of the things we ask that you keep in mind when narrowing down when you want to replace your windows.


1. Someone Needs To Be Present For Your
Raleigh Window Installation

When replacing windows in any home, we require that someone be present during installation. Does that mean the entire family has to be present? Absolutely not.

Having someone at home while we work is meant to ensure the process runs smoothly. Remember, when we remove old windows, there is always the risk of hidden damage being uncovered. Thus, having one of the homeowners present ensures we can speak with them about what we need to do to keep the installation process flowing smoothly.

The question to ask yourself is, when can you afford to be home? Do you have vacation days to take that you can arrange to use when the windows are replaced?

Perhaps you work in a field that often results in fewer days worked during the winter. In this case, scheduling your installation during the winter days you aren’t working is a great idea.

We work with you to find the best time if there are scheduling conflicts to take into consideration.


2. It’s Best To Install Windows When Kids & Pets
Aren’t At Your Raleigh Home

We love kids and pets, but we know that the window installation process can be something that they can easily interfere with. And while we have no issues with giving Fiddo a pet on the head or answering questions that your kids may have about a window, we want to ensure they are safe as well.

Too many times, small accidents can happen when kids and pets are allowed around the window installation process – which is why we often suggest they be away from the project.

That is why many homeowners opt to have their windows replaced on school days during the fall or spring, and they board their pets for the day or let a family or friend pet sit for the day.

Of course, if pets and kids are not part of your household, this is one less thing you have to worry about.


3. Severe Weather Can Affect A Timeline – Which Is
Something We Can’t Control

Remember, severe weather can affect the installation dates for your window project. Unfortunately, we can’t control the weather.

We will not install windows if we are experiencing hurricane-force winds. We want our installers to be safe and ensure a perfect installation. If the wind is hitting at 60+ miles per hour, it is not safe for our installers and will affect our ability to install your window without issues.

So, when do you want your windows replaced? If you are seeing signs that you definitely need them replaced, there is no time like the present to discuss your options!
