Installation Process
Your existing windows are cracking and peeling. You can’t get bedroom windows all the way open for fresh air on long summer nights. In cold weather months, a draft coming through your front window chills you to the bone. You know you need replacement windows, but you wonder what to expect in the installation process. Once you select a Milgard Certified Dealer, replacing your existing windows and patio doors is an easy and hassle-free four-step process.
1. Measure Opening Before any window or door is removed, your dealer measures each opening to ensure every unit is built to your required size. | 2. Remove Old & Install New Your Milgard dealer is experienced in knowing which method of installation is best for each type of home siding. |
3. Insulate and Trim Interior Perimeter insulation is added to seal drafts. Interior trim, which varies by dealer, is hung to create a finished look. | 4. Seal and Finish Exterior Your dealer seals the exterior to make it watertight and does final touchup. That’s it. |
