Window Replacement in the Fall

Window installation is generally considered to be done best during the warmer seasons. However, in cases wherein your window got broken or cracked in fall, waiting around for spring would mean leaving your home exposed to cold temperatures and the risk of moisture damage throughout winter.

Renewal by Andersen® of Rapid City, a trusted expert in window and door replacement services, says that replacing your window in the fall isn’t so bad at all. Just take note of these things when planning for window replacement so that you can ensure the success of your project.

Factors to Consider When Replacing Windows in the Fall

  1. Weather – Check the weather forecast and schedule your project on a warm, sunny day. Make sure that the weather is going to be clear for the next 24-48 hours because some sealants require up to 24 hours to set.
  2. Caulking – Ensure your window installer uses silicone-based caulk around the window and not latex or acrylic. This type of caulk does a better job of adhering to the window in colder temperatures and they provide better waterproofing and weatherization.
  3. Sealant – It’s best to use a sealant with high joint movement capability.

  3. Removal and Installation – We remove the old windows and make sure the openings have no structural damage. If everything is in good condition, we will proceed to the installation of the windows. However, if the damage is present, we may have to take other necessary steps.
