Do you replace handles, hinges and locks?

How long does window replacement take?
Timing depends on the number of windows, access and the type of units. a window-specialist can give a realistic schedule once the scope and materials are confirmed. If relevant, confirm how services will be isolated and when they will be restored.
Can I keep the same window style?
Yes, like for like replacements are common. Let the Window Specialist know the style, colour and frame material so they can match it closely. Share the age of the property, access, and what you want to change so the Window Specialist can plan the right approach.
