Question 1

What's the ideal time for window replacement?

Accepted Answer

New windows can be installed any time of year across the Salt Lake Valley, though spring and fall often provide more comfortable conditions. Don't wait if you're noticing seal deterioration, condensation between panes, drafts, or frame decay—these problems increase heating bills and can lead to moisture damage in wall assemblies. West Jordan Windows performs installations year-round in West Jordan, South Jordan, Midvale, and nearby areas, including urgent replacement services. Call (385) 503-3508 to schedule your appointment.

Question 2

How long does window replacement take?

Accepted Answer

Project duration hinges on window quantity, manufacturing schedules, and job-specific complexity. Following contract execution, custom window fabrication generally requires 3-6 weeks. Installation work takes approximately 1 day for smaller projects (1-5 windows) or 2-3 days for complete home replacements involving 10-20+ units. Final permit inspection happens shortly after completion. Your written proposal will include a detailed schedule.

Question 3

What should I expect to pay for window replacement?

Accepted Answer

Pricing fluctuates based on window measurements, frame material selection (vinyl, aluminum, fiberglass, wood), glass specifications (double pane, Low-E, argon), total unit count, and installation variables. Standard vinyl windows generally run $400-$800 per unit. West Jordan Windows provides free home consultations with detailed estimates, and we offer financing arrangements for convenient monthly payments.

Question 4

What defines an energy-efficient window?

Accepted Answer

Energy-efficient windows restrict heat exchange between indoor and outdoor environments, reducing climate control costs while enhancing comfort through Utah's temperature swings. Key components include multiple glazing layers (double or triple panes), Low-E coatings deflecting infrared radiation and UV light, inert gas fills (argon or krypton) between glass layers, warm-edge spacer technology minimizing thermal bridging, and favorable U-Factor and SHGC measurements. ENERGY STAR® certified products deliver optimal performance and may qualify for federal tax benefits.

Question 5

Which window styles do you install?

Accepted Answer

We install all standard window configurations: single hung, double hung, horizontal sliders, casement (crank-operated), awning (top-hinged), hopper (bottom-hinged), picture (stationary), bay (angled three-section), and bow (curved multi-section). Each design comes in vinyl, aluminum, fiberglass, or wood frames, with customization options including Low-E glass, gas insulation, tints, obscured glazing, and non-standard dimensions.

Question 6

What warranty coverage do you provide?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every installation includes comprehensive warranty protection: manufacturer warranties covering material defects in frames, glass, hardware, and seals—ranging from 10 years to lifetime based on product line—plus our workmanship warranty protecting installation quality including flashing, sealing, and moisture management. Complete warranty documentation is provided upon project completion.

Question 7

How do I prepare my home for installation?

Accepted Answer

Relocate furniture, window treatments, and wall decorations at least 3-4 feet from each window opening to provide an adequate installer workspace. Clear fragile items from sills and adjacent surfaces. Outside, cut back vegetation near windows and confirm unobstructed access to all building sides. We protect floors and furnishings with drop cloths, but removing valuables beforehand helps prevent accidental breakage.

Question 8

What's the distinction between insert and full-frame replacement?

Accepted Answer

Insert (retrofit) installation extracts only window operating components while preserving existing frames—quicker, more economical, and avoids disturbing interior trim or exterior finishes. Full-frame replacement strips all components to the rough opening and installs entirely new framing—required when dealing with wood decay, structural defects, or improper sizing. We evaluate your current windows and recommend the optimal approach for your situation.

Question 9

Is cleanup included with installation?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Complete cleanup and hauling of old windows, glass, framing, and installation debris comes standard with every project. Our installers remove all packaging materials, properly dispose of removed materials, vacuum and sweep work areas, and leave your property clean. We don't leave dumpsters, debris stacks, or discarded windows behind.

Question 10

Are permits required for window replacement?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Window replacement in West Jordan and Salt Lake County requires building permits confirming installations comply with code standards for structural attachment, weather resistance, and energy performance. West Jordan Windows obtains permits before starting work and arranges mandatory inspections after completion—you don't handle building department interactions yourself. Proper permit records are valuable for insurance compliance and property transfers.
