Potential Problems Installing Windows On Brick Homes
Inaccurate Measurements – When we measure to replace a windows sash on a brick home, we take several width measurements and several height measurements. Why? Well, not only could the framing for your house be out-of-square but, also bricks are probably not perfectly aligned. If your brand new windows arrive and don’t fit, installation will be delayed.
Haphazard Removal of Old Windows – Careful removal of old window sashes and frames is critical. There is a nail fin attached to the studs underneath the brick and flashings. Not having the expertise could mean tearing the flashing and/or breaking the brick.
Unprofessional Installation – Flashing to prevent water intrusion is critical to preventing leaks, rot, and insect infestation. Using inferior (wrong length, wrong material) screws results in reduced protection against gale force winds. Using lesser quality caulking will dry up and crack in our harsh Texas summers.
Crooked, non-Plumb and un-Square Installs – Remember, even is your framing is not square, the window must be installed square and plumb in order to operate and seal properly. That’s why we take several measurements so that we can install your custom made-to-order windows precisely. Watch our videos on our YouTube channel for more info.
If your home is stucco rather than brick, our processes and selections and virtually identical. We install replacement windows in all types of siding.
