Step by Step Process: How to properly install a window

Bringing your home to the next level can be quite a task. With proper maintenance and care your home can look as good today as it did 40 years ago. Unfortunately the problem is not that simple. Things happen that are out of our control quite often. Bad weather, accidents, animals, and just bad luck. We know that after many years some parts of a home can get a little dingy. This is the expectation most homeowners have. We all know that there will be a time in the future of our home that we will have to make the decision to finally fix all the things that we decided were "good enough". Whether it is due to just standard wear and tear on your home, or you just want to make a design change to spruce up the look of your property, it is going to be a long process and some people do not know how to properly install a window.
