Any time you’re working in a field you don’t normally stick your toe into, you have reason to feel intimidated in some way or another. But when you work with Southgate Glass, that’s the last feeling you will get. We do everything we can to make you comfortable every step of the way.

We all understand you might be apprehensive so we have tailored the installation process so we are efficient and courteous. We spend the least amount of time possible in your home and leave little to no trace that we have been there…other than the new windows we leave behind, of course.

Typical Installations

No two installations are alike, but all replacement windows installation start well before the installation day. First, you have an in-home consultation where your consultant will walk through the home, take measurements, and listen to concerns and style needs. This part of the process is very important to the installation itself. Installation starts before you even order the windows! If you decide to proceed with installation windows after that, our consultant will detail the process for you.

Homeowner Tips

There are a number of things you can do to make the installation process go smoothly and most of it is very easy! You will want to do things like remove the pictures from your walls and move the furniture away from the windows. You will want to clear a path from your entry door to the windows that will be replaced and secure things that might get loose and break, like glass and breakable items. If you have pets, make sure they are confined somewhere safe and out of the way for the day as well.
