Picture Window Installation

What this involves.

Picture window installation looks simple because the unit is fixed, but a clean result depends on accurate measuring, a square set, and a full seal. We measure the opening, remove the old window, and check the frame before we set the new unit level, plumb, and square. Since the window does not open, the focus is on a tight, lasting seal, so we insulate, flash, and caulk the unit against air and water. Picture windows bring in light and keep the view clear with no sash or grille in the way. Whether it stands alone or pairs with operable windows, we make sure it fits the opening and seals clean inside and out.

• Measuring the opening and confirming picture window sizing before ordering
• Removing the old window and checking the opening for rot or damage
• Setting the fixed unit level, plumb, and square in the opening
• Insulating and flashing the unit to block air and water
• Sealing the exterior with backer rod and caulk for a weather-tight fit
• Finishing interior trim and casing for a clean, even look
• Final cleanup and a walkthrough to confirm a solid, leak-free fit
