This is usually the second question homeowners ask, right after price. The honest answer is that it depends on the size of the home and how many openings are being replaced, but there is a general shape to how these projects actually go.
What Determines the Timeline More Than Anything Else
The biggest factor is not the installation itself, it is how the windows and doors are ordered. Impact rated products are often custom sized to fit each opening, which means there is a lead time between placing the order and the product actually arriving. Installation on a typical home usually moves faster than most homeowners expect once the materials are on site. Learn more about Do Impact Windows Actually Lower Your Florida Homeowners Insurance?
What a Typical Week by Week Schedule Looks Like
After measurements are taken and the order is placed, most of the wait happens before any work starts in the home. Once materials arrive, a full home replacement is usually completed within a few days, with older or custom openings sometimes taking a bit longer to fit correctly. Homeowners are often surprised at how quick the actual installation is compared to the lead time beforehand.
Timeline is only part of the decision. If insurance savings are part of what is pushing you toward impact windows, the companion page on this pair covers that. For more on our replacement process, visit our window and door replacement page, or check past projects on our Google Business Profile.
