One of the most common questions we hear from Jonesboro homeowners is: "How long will this take?" It's a fair question — you want to know how much disruption to expect and when your home will be back to normal. The short answer is that most window replacement projects are completed in a single day. Here's the full breakdown.
Replacing a single standard-size window typically takes a professional installer 30 to 60 minutes from start to finish. This includes removing the old window, preparing the opening, installing the new window, insulating, sealing, and cleaning up. Larger or more complex windows — such as bay windows or picture windows — may take 2–3 hours each.
A full-home window replacement project — typically 10 to 15 windows — can usually be completed in a single day by a professional crew. Larger homes with 20 or more windows may take two days. Our team at Jonesboro Window Pros is experienced in completing efficient, high-quality installations with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Estimated Installation Times
| Project Scope | Estimated Time |
|---|---|
| 1 standard window | 30–60 minutes |
| 1 large/bay window | 2–3 hours |
| 5–7 windows | Half day (4–5 hours) |
| 10–15 windows | Full day (6–8 hours) |
| 20+ windows | 1–2 days |
The installation day itself is fast — but there's typically a lead time between when you order your windows and when they're installed. Custom-ordered windows are manufactured to your exact measurements and specifications, which takes time. Here's what to expect:
- In-home estimate and measurement: 1 hour
- Window manufacturing lead time: 2–6 weeks (varies by manufacturer and style)
- Scheduling the installation appointment: 1–5 business days after windows arrive
- Installation day: 1–2 days depending on project size
From the time you sign a contract to the day your new windows are installed, plan for approximately 3–7 weeks total. If you need windows replaced quickly due to damage or an emergency, ask about our expedited options.
Here's a step-by-step overview of what to expect when our crew arrives at your Jonesboro home:
1. Crew arrival and setup
Our team arrives at the scheduled time, introduces themselves, and reviews the scope of work with you. They protect your floors and furniture near each window.
2. Old window removal
The existing window is carefully removed. We inspect the rough opening for any rot, damage, or moisture issues that need to be addressed before the new window goes in.
3. New window installation
The new window is set, leveled, shimmed, and secured. We apply foam insulation around the frame to prevent air infiltration.
4. Sealing and finishing
Interior and exterior caulking is applied for a weathertight seal. Trim is reinstalled or replaced as needed.
5. Cleanup and walkthrough
We clean up all debris and do a final walkthrough with you to ensure you're satisfied with the installation before we leave.
- Clear the area around each window before the crew arrives (move furniture, blinds, curtains)
- Ensure the installation team has clear access to all windows, including exterior access
- Have someone home for the entire installation to answer questions and do the final walkthrough
- Decide on window styles and colors early to avoid delays in the manufacturing process
