The Window Source Installation Process

Q: Is installation really included, or are there hidden fees I should know about?

Installation is included in the price of every window you buy from Window Source of Kentucky. There's no separate labor charge added at the end, and nothing buried in the fine print.Some companies quote a low window price and add labor on top. That's not how this works. What you're told upfront is what you pay.

What to expect on your window installation day?

Many of the homeowners we work with don't fully understand how simple window installations can be. The thought of having your windows replaced can be a bit overwhelming if you don't understand the process, so we want to hear your concerns and answer any questions you have.

Installation Process

Step 1. Installation Crew Arrives

The installation crew will arrive soon after your windows arrive at our warehouse. They will always call ahead to let you know they are en route. You will be greeted by our courteous and professional crew members, who will provide an overview of the day. Depending on the job, your installation could take as little as a few hours or up to 2 days. You will be informed in advance if window blinds need to be removed. And in case you were wondering: YES! Your current window blinds will fit the replacement windows (in most cases). No need to spend extra money on replacing your blinds after purchasing new windows.

Step 2. Removing the old windows

First off, the window installation is INCLUDED. Our crew will cover your floors for protection. Next, they will remove the window stop, which is the small piece of wood that runs vertically between the window sashes and the trim around the windows.

Below is a video to give you a visual of how a window stop is removed. Not so bad, right?

Now, the old wooden sashes and sash rails will be removed without damaging any of the interior trim around your existing opening. The interior trim will not need to be replaced after the window installation. The old windows have now been removed, with the casing that held the old windows staying in place.

Step 3. New windows are ready to be put in place

The installation crew will ensure the window opening is clean and free of debris. Next, your new vinyl double-hung windows will be installed in the existing opening and checked for proper alignment. The window will be plumb, level, and square while it is fastened to the frame. The window will be tested to ensure it operates correctly. Finally, the window stop will be reinstalled in its original position and caulked to ensure an airtight seal. The installation crew will also make sure the window is insulated on the exterior of the home.

Step 4. That's it!

Our installation crew will do a walk-through with you to make sure you are 100% satisfied with the job that has been completed. The installers will not leave the job site until you sign off that you are completely satisfied with the installation and product.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does The Window Source of Kentucky's window installation process actually look like from start to finish?

Simpler than you'd expect. The crew handles everything: floor protection before they touch a thing, pulling the old window out, fitting and sealing the new one, and cleaning up before they leave. Most homes are done in a single day.

Here's what actually happens:

Drop cloths go down first, before any tools come out
The interior trim piece (the window stop) is removed carefully
The old window comes out without touching the surrounding drywall or trim
Your custom-measured replacement goes in, gets leveled, and is fastened in place
Gaps are filled with insulation and sealed against drafts and water
The trim goes back up
The crew cleans up and you do a final walkthrough together

And installation is INCLUDED with every window purchase. No hidden labor fees tacked onto your quote at the end.

How long does it take to install replacement windows in a Kentucky home?

A single window usually takes under an hour. A full home replacement, say 10 to 15 windows, is typically done in one to two days. You won't be living around a construction crew all week.

A few things that affect the timeline:

How many windows are being replaced
The window style (double-hung installs faster than bay or specialty shapes)
The condition of the existing frame (rotted frames take extra prep before the new unit goes in)

Is installation really included, or are there hidden fees I should know about?

What should I do to prepare my home before the installation crew arrives?

Not much. The crew brings everything they need. A few small things will help the day go smoothly:

Move furniture, blinds, and any decor at least two to three feet back from each window
Take down curtain rods if they're close to the frame
Make sure the crew has clear access to each room (pets secured, hallways clear)
Let other people in the home know what's happening so nobody's caught off guard

That's it. Tools, floor coverings, new windows, caulk, insulation, and cleanup supplies, the crew has it covered.

How does The Window Source of Kentucky make sure my new windows are properly sealed and insulated?

Sealing and insulation aren't optional add-ons here. They're a standard part of every installation. Once the new window is set and secured, the crew fills the gap between the window frame and the rough opening with insulation, then applies a weatherproof exterior seal to block moisture and air.

This step matters more than most people realize. A high-performance window that isn't sealed correctly will still let in drafts around the frame. The seal is what delivers the energy savings you're actually paying for.

The windows are also built for Kentucky's climate, so they hold up through both the summer heat and winter cold without warping, fogging, or failing.

Does The Window Source of Kentucky offer a warranty on its installation work?

Yes. Every Window Source product comes with a Lifetime Limited Warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.

In plain terms:

Fogged glass between panes (a failed seal) is covered
Frame and hardware defects are covered
If something goes wrong because of how the window was installed, the crew is accountable for it

And when you call with a concern, you're reaching a local, family-owned team, not a national call center. These are people who have actually been in your home and know your windows.
