One of the first questions every homeowner asks: how long is this going to take? Here's the realistic timeline for each exterior project from first phone call to final walkthrough.

Window Replacement

Consultation to install: 3-6 weeks (custom manufacturing takes 2-4 weeks after ordering)

Installation time: Most homes with 10-15 windows are completed in 1-2 days. Larger projects (20+ windows) may take 2-3 days. Each window opening is exposed for only minutes during the swap — your home is never left open overnight.

Roof Replacement

Consultation to install: 1-3 weeks for retail projects. Insurance claim roofs add 2-4 weeks for the claim process.

Installation time: Small ranch (15-20 squares): 1 day. Average 2-story (20-30 squares): 1-2 days. Large or complex: 2-3 days. Weather delays are possible during spring storm season.

Siding Replacement

Consultation to install: 2-4 weeks depending on material availability.

Installation time: Most homes take 1-2 weeks. Siding is the longest exterior project because every square foot of exterior surface must be stripped, inspected, wrapped, and re-clad. Larger homes or those requiring significant sheathing repairs take longer.

Entry Door Installation

Consultation to install: 2-6 weeks (custom orders take longer than standard sizes).

Installation time: Most entry doors are installed in a single day — typically 4-6 hours. Your home is never left unsecured overnight.
