The Most Common Mistake Homeowners Make When Buying Replacement Windows

Too many people choose their favorite brand and style of windows, but they NEVER get the benefits they hoped for because they didn’t get any details about the window installation.

2 Things You Need To Know About Window Installation

The “bad Installation” problem is rampant.

It is extremely common for even well-known “professionals” to do a poor, incomplete job on window installations.

Bad installations are a big problem.

Not only will your windows underperform, but a poor installation can allow water and moisture to leak into the wall, leading to mildew and mold problems.

What Other Window Contractors Get Wrong

Getting the right size seems so obvious and basic, but we continue to be amazed by the number of replacement windows we see that are not the correct size. Other contractors usually install windows that come from a “closet fit” pre-made inventory.
Most contractors don’t inspect all their parts until they show up at the jobsite. When things are missing or don’t include the correct number of parts, they may try to make do with what they have, or they may have to come back and reopen your wall.
Other contractors will tell you that if you want to paint your windows, you’ve got to do it yourself. But that’s not true with us.
Choosing other contractors can be risky, and the window installation may not be certified by manufacturers. This can lead to the voiding of the manufacturer's warranty.
Some contractors use expanding foam for insulation. Over time, the foam will push and stress the window frame, which causes it to bow and break the seal.

Our Window Installation Process

Chicago Area Homeowners Trust NEXT Door & Window for the Finest Replacement Window Installations Available

Even the best replacement windows on earth will fail unless they are installed properly. That’s why each NEXT Door & Window installation includes the following steps:

1. Get the Size Exactly Right

We measure the windows to determine the exact size of the replacement windows down to 1/8 of an inch.

2. Inspect All Parts BEFORE We Arrive

We are committed to getting the job right on the first trip. We perform a total of eight checks to ensure your windows are exactly the right size and that all parts are accounted for.

3. Pre-Finish With the Paint or Stain of Your Choice

One of the things we are most famous for is our exclusive pre-finishing service. We disassemble and then paint or stain your windows the color of your choice in our facility before your installation.

4. Our Installers Are Manufacturer-Certified

Manufacturers are cautious and precise about how they want their products installed to maintain their warranty. Each member of our team is manufacturer-certified. They also complete additional training and certification from Installation Masters, a nationwide training and certification program that sets the standard for window and glass door installation.

5. Remove and Inspect the Old Window Area

We remove the old windows, tear out any old, rotting material, and get down to the studs.

6. Inspect for Mold, Mildew, and Water Damage

Any mold and mildew must be effectively treated or removed.

7. Repair Interior Walls as Necessary

Once the underlying walls and studs are properly inspected, treated, and repaired, we will build or refurbish the interior walls as necessary.

8. Insert the New Windows

With our precise measurements and attention to detail, our windows slide right into place for an exact fit.

9. Water-Tight Seal

We add a rubber membrane and specialized sealants to ensure an airtight and water-tight seal with each installation.

10. Non-Expanding Insulation Foam

Each new wall is prepared with plenty of our specially formulated NEXT Door & Window polyurethane non-expansive insulation foam.

11. Add Interior Trim and Make It Look Sharp

We offer completely new framing and interior prefinished trim. In some cases, if it’s in good shape, we can use your old trim to maintain your existing look if that’s what you prefer.

12. Seal Off and Protect the Inner Wall

We add a protective cap to the exterior window frame. We seal the frame and add exterior capping material to the exposed exterior trim. This protects your investment and helps prevent water damage and exposure.

Work Backed with an Outstanding Warranty

Warranties should be straightforward and come from a stable company with a proven track record. NEXT Door & Window has served Chicago-area residents since the 1940s, and many of our products come with a lifetime warranty. We go above and beyond by adding our own 2-year NEXT Door & Window labor warranty to our window installation services.

Let’s See What Our Customers Have To Say

Gave us great suggestions on window replacements. We love the picture windows and other suggestions he made. He is very knowledgeable and came to our house during the installation to make sure all was going well and we were happy with the windows and installation.

The installers were very skilled and knowledgeable. In my Family Room, the installer even took it upon himself to level the wood shelf under the window he was installing so the wood framing the window would be even and “look nice“ as he said. He didn’t have to put in that extra effort, but he did…he took great pride in his work.

Next Door & Window worked within my schedule and timelines. They are very professional. And Scott the salesperson inspected the installers work to make sure they were doing what they were supposed to. I have nothing bad to say about them.

Very professional, I enjoyed visiting the showroom and being showed around the shop to see how they prepare the windows for installation, and of course meeting those who run the show!
