In Progress: Window Reframing and Replacement
J&R Construction | In-Between Photo Series | 16
In this weeks In-Between Photo series, the focus is on windows.
Windows seem like an easy fix right? Wrong. Windows replacements can involve the long process of demolition, removal, replacement, drywall, trim, and painting. This process takes even longer if you want a different style of window than your existing ones.
Take these photos for example. This home originally had four more narrow windows in place of these new large windows. This required the removal of the brick exterior and (because the windows came so close to the roof) the gutters. Once removed, we removed the existing windows, reframed the framework for larger windows, replaced the windows, and replaced the exterior wall. Next we’ll have to replace the brick and put the gutters back on.
So remember, if you believe any aspect of a remodel is going to be done quickly or easily you may be underestimating how intricate homes are. Generally speaking, most parts of your home directly impact another part.
