How long does window installation take?
The window installation process should take about 1 hour per window if it is custom made. Vinyl windows are custom fitted windows that provide easy installation. They are screwed into the jambs of the openings and should be level. If the opening is out of square the homeowner should not be alarmed if there needs to be some shimming to ensure proper operation.
If there is a metal opening the installation is more timely and expensive. This type of procedure can more than double the cost of installation and materials needed to complete the job.
It is not the time that is important but the quality of the workmanship, the finishing process of caulking and trimming is the most notable and can be detected if done improperly. Caulking should be neat with thin beads and trim should be equally detailed properly.
