Large Slider and Window Installation Underway in Johnston

We're in the middle of a big window installation job in Johnston, and the progress has been something to see. Six new sliders and windows are going in - these aren't small units either. We're talking large-format glass panels that take a full crew to handle and set properly.

Installing units this size requires more than just showing up with a caulk gun. The openings are prepped with ZIP System sheathing around the rough frames, which is the right way to do it. That weatherproof barrier behind the windows is what keeps moisture from working its way into the wall assembly over time. Skipping that step is how you end up with rot and callbacks years down the road.

The Pella sliders going in on both levels are a clean, dark-framed design. That combination of large glass area and a minimal frame profile does two things at once - it pulls significantly more natural light into the space, and it gives the exterior a sharp, modern look that holds up over time. These aren't details you want to rush.

Big glass panels like these are a team lift every single time. Getting them plumb, level, and square in the opening - especially on an upper floor - takes coordination and the right crew. We protect the floors, we protect the glass, and we take our time seating each unit correctly. That's just how it gets done right.

This one's coming together well. When the exterior cladding goes on around these windows, the finished product is going to look exactly like what the design called for - clean lines, tons of light, and a build quality that lasts.
