Installation technique types: 

1- REPLACEMENT

2- RENEWAL / extraction

3- All NEW CONSTRUCTION full window installation

Here on this page you can learn of the three types of window installations, The replacement which is typically vinyl- The “renewal” or extraction installation that is inserted from the out side saving existing trims, and other structural components- The full frame install or new window install, which replaces all the components including trims and some times siding. Each type is increasingly most costly then the other.

The Advantage vinyl replacement installation, just means we’ve cost averaged the basic window install to keep it simple, and replicable, and low cost to you. starting at just 275.00 per opening. three or more plus any addons


1 Replacement install: (replacement windows install, from the inside , fits into the old jamb and sits in the "pocket")

  • Installer fits the replacement window into the existing opening incorporates the reuse of interior jambs and trims  Also saves exterior trims or brick molds and J-channels  This would not include new interior or exterior trims however they could be added. Replacement windows are typically *priced by the total united inches. so a price range cost average can be set by the installer. Also called a Tip to Tip Box frame. Replacement unit have no nail fins.

2 The Renewal or extraction type installation  (Installs From the outside & fits into outer Ro-frame and flanges to home with nails and sealant tape)

  • Fits the new window into the out side rough opening unto the inside finish jamb and trims. Completely replacing all exterior trims and jamb portions. Some exterior trims will need custom sized trims. This type of install, completely saves the interior of the window, mating the new window to the portion of the existing interior jamb and trims. This works well with certain applications and allows for a cost savings to you over a full new construction installation. The money you save is  from the interior salvage of the interior trims and jambs. But the interior must be in adequate condition to allow us to do this type of install. It is a better install and I like the complete new out side look to the windows and home that this type of install provides. A smart use of interior stops may be required.

3 The complete new construction installation or Custom Installation.

  • Custom: If your windows or doors fall outside the "typical" install and Fall under our "custom install" category then they may have special attributes or custom  exterior and interior trims. They may need some customization during the installation process such as repairs replacing a rotting sill, or re sizing an opening. They just may not fit right in the existing rough opening like they should.

  • Complete New : This type of installation is just what it says, an all new window installation that is fit into the  existing "rough opening"  inside and out of the home. It provides new interior jambs and trim and new exterior trims or brick-mold, wall board re-work framing alterations and such.  This may also call for additional work to siding.  You get the whole new look inside and out. This is the most complete type of install.

Other installation factors:

Note: Older roped & weighted. Steel framed, stucco or bricked in, existing windows , or lead remediation charges may apply. to any or all types of installations, as these types of removal process are much more work. Additional work to exterior if needed or interior trim replacement, wall board repairs or flooring damage do to water issues.*

Minimum charges:

Three units per project,  for the small size ui charge applies or a $250 minimum project fee will be charged.

__________________________________________________________________________________

*Priced as determinate upon by the amount of overall work that  the existing opening needs, The more the existing damage, the more a probable a charge may be added accordingly, but over all the smaller units are costing in these price ranges as above. Also if you have more windows we also take that into consideration for your overall budget
