Retex installed these triple-paned Provia windows at a North Chesterfield home in August 2023. They are low-E glass and filled with argon gas as well, helping to reduce the amount of outside noise and heat transfer between the home and the great outdoors.
Without further ado, here are our window installation steps:
- Materials delivered, usually the day before the project is scheduled to start.
- Remove old windows and install new ones (no brainer, right?)
- Install spray foam along the windows’ exteriors.
- Clad the windows, further protecting them from Mother Nature.
- Caulk the windows, both inside and outside, to seal the deal.
Finally, we clean up the yard of debris and nails. It may seem like we were never there, except for the new awesome windows in your home.
Interested in replacing your home’s windows? Give Richmond’s top home exterior contractor (hi!) a call at 804-258-6300 for a complimentary estimate today.

While some of these contractors might be reputable, others — known as “storm chasers” — follow severe weather events, hoping to cash in on vulnerable homeowners.
We will be closed on Friday, July 4, and Saturday, July 5, in observance of the holiday.
Online pricing calculators and AI tools are great for ballpark numbers, but they don’t know the local labor market and specific window options for your home.
