In the last few years, the trend of do-it-yourself (DIY) home improvement projects has gained more momentum, as people found themselves spending more time at home with lingering projects demanding their attention. While some projects can be the right fit with no experience and a little practice by watching YouTube videos, not all projects should take the DIY approach.

Window replacement specifically is one project that should be left to the professionals. Here’s several reasons why:

Pre-Planning: Window replacement projects involve following various local codes and regulations, which can vary depending on your city or state. It is important to make sure the correct permits are pulled for a successful project.
Preparing: Whether it’s clearing items from the inside of the home, covering the floor, or disabling an alarm system, there are many vital steps to take leading up to the installation. Each job has different installation requirements, and a professional company has experience when it comes to preparing for a window installation.
Installing: While you may have dabbled in simple home improvement projects, a window replacement is a big undertaking. It involves many steps, including measuring, shimming, trimming, and more. Avoid the potential hassle of a mismeasurement or faulty installation and choose a professional company to give you peace of mind.
Protecting: When purchasing windows from large retail and big box stores, they do not provide labor warranties for the work you perform. Unlike when you work with a reputable window replacement company, a warranty will cover both the product and the labor for a specific span of time.

Don’t set yourself up for a home full of windows that could be at risk of failing and rotting. While the initial cost of professional installation may be higher, it can ultimately save you money in the long run by preventing the need for costly repairs or another round of replacements.

Client Reviews

The entire experience was non-stressful and handled with unquestionable professionalism. I never had unanswered questions or felt ill-at-ease with anything during the whole process. When the entire process was finished I was impressed with the overall craftsmanship of the work. I will be contacting them again next year to replace the rest of my windows and siding.

M.P. – Oak Creek

Excellent job on the windows. Great service from the time I met with Brad, to discuss the replacement, through the installation & painting. Everyone involved was a pro. I will be calling you and your group back for more work, but I’m afraid not until next year. I have to regroup my house improvement fund.

Mike R. – Muskego

We will likely be remodeling our kitchen in a couple years, and will definitely call in Callen to propose a design. They’re a little expensive, but I believe you get what you pay for.

J&M K. – Lisbon

Thank you for a job well done. Your designer was a jewel to work with, giving us great ideas but always listening as well. You met our deadline, getting it done before our daughter’s wedding. We get so many compliments on our house, we love it.

D&C T.-Franklin

This is our second renovation with Callen I have recommended you several times. Your employees are very helpful and have a wonderful sense of design. We are very happy.

S&A K.-Milwaukee

We were very happy with all the Callen employees we dealt with on our bathroom remodel.

C&B B-Hartland

We are very pleased with the workmanship on our kitchen and will definitely recommend Callen to our friends. We like supporting our local businesses.

D&D M.-Muskego

Our bedroom remodel project proved to be a challenge. The workmanship displayed by your demolition, electrical, construction and drywall crews was excellent. They did everything required to limit the dust and dirt from affecting the rest of the house while providing quality work.

S&M A.-Muskego

In June 2008 we were one of many hit by the major rains and flooding in the basement. Now everyone is amazed at the difference from its previous look. It is a pleasure to sit down there in a family room once more.

P. K-D -Milwaukee

We not only have a kitchen that is beautiful to behold and a joy to work in, we also have had a wonderful experience making it all happen. Everyone who entered my home was a delight to be around.

R&S R.-Whitefish Bay

Exceptional. All of the installers were knowledgeable, prompt, and friendly. Project manager and sales rep were outstanding.

Linda – Milwaukee

The installers were exceptionally polite and professional. They took the time to cut different lengths of exterior trim and held it up so I was 100% happy with my choice. They went above and beyond!

Pam– Oak Creek

Very positive experience starting with the designer to project manager and all of the installers. The craftsmanship was total quality.
