Window Installation
Get Detailed, High-Quality Windows Installed
Without The Hassles Or Amateur-Hour Treatment
If your Northern VA–Suburban Maryland home needs new windows, why not just work with your nearest home improvement store? Why bother with Shiner’s turn-key professional window installation services?
We ensure you avoid nonsense and enjoy the long-term value you’re paying for!
When you put your project into the hands of others, you risk these kinds of headaches:
- Your initial appointment might get pushed out and rescheduled (repeatedly).
- Salespeople with little construction experience might fail to explain X, Y, and Z.
- You might deal with poor scheduling between measurement and installation.
- You might get the wrong window or the right window with the wrong features.
- Mismeasurements could cause you to go through this process more than once!
Delays, delays, delays.
Is it worth it to risk all that for contractor-grade windows? We sure don’t think so. And we haven’t even touched on what you’ll deal with if your windows are improperly installed.
When you choose Shiner Exteriors, the entire experience is night and day different. See what we mean below. If you have questions, call us at (703) 560-7663 or contact our team via the following link.
The Shiner Window Installation Process
At Shiner’s, we’ve perfected our window installation process to ensure absolute quality and maximum efficiency. Here’s a look at our four-step process.
1) Initial Consultation
During your initial replacement window consultation, you’ll find our consultants friendly, informative, and caring. They’re not pushy and are not trained to ‘make the sale today.’ Their focus is on you, your needs, and the needs of your home.
- Our consultations are based on matching you with solutions, not pushing products.
- You’ll learn about Mi’s Sunrise Series windows and their outstanding features.
- Sunrise windows are premium quality, beautiful, weather-ready, and energy-efficient.
You’ll have questions, and they’ll have insightful answers. Their goal isn’t to make a sale but to give you a great consultation. That’s it. If you decide to go with our estimate, great! If not, we still want you to get value from meeting with our team.
2) Precise Measurements For A Custom Fit
Standard windows come in standard sizes. But the chances of your window openings being standard-sized are slim to none.
The windows you get through Shiner will be CUSTOM-made to fit exactly to the 8th inch. No delayed projects. No ill-fitting windows. No air gaps.
- After contracts are signed, our team goes out and remeasures every single opening.
- New windows are checked and remeasured AGAIN once they arrive at our warehouse.
- We have eyes on the project at each step to ensure you get the right windows.
This way, you won’t end up with the wrong products and see your project take longer than expected. Your windows will be perfectly sized and well-made down to the last feature.
3) Expert, By-The-Book Installation
Our window installation teams ONLY do window replacement and entry door replacement. Nothing else. That’s their sole focus.
They’re dedicated to this particular skill set. Thanks to their hard work, training, and certifications, they know best practices down to the letter. Our techniques aren’t unusual—they’re just finely tuned through experience and executed with professional finesse.
- Thorough inspections are performed before, during, and after each installation.
- All rot and damage are repaired to restore your window openings to full integrity.
- We fill voids between new windows and framing with quality spray foam insulation.
Why spray foam insulation? Compared to cheap fiberglass insulation, it packs into every crevice for a tight seal. We apply this same high standard to every step, detail, and component of your window installation.
4) Final Walkthrough
Our window installations aren’t done until they’ve been triple-checked by our team, and then we’ve conducted a final walkthrough with you and examined each window. Every detail counts, and your Shiner project consultant or field supervisor will happily explain them.
- We check window operation, tracks, hinges, cranks, framing, sashes…everything!
- Every component must be installed to the highest industry standards.
- No gaps, cracks, drafts, or sloppy mistakes are tolerated.
If we spot something or you spot even a tiny detail that you’re not happy with, we take care of it quickly—no waiting around. Once you’re happy with each window, our clean-up efforts and your experience, only then do we consider the project complete.
3 Primary Benefits Of Our Window Installations
These are the three most common reasons Northern VA–Suburban Maryland homeowners call Shiner to replace and upgrade their windows.
Efficiency, Efficiency, Efficiency!
When we install high-quality Mi windows, your home becomes more efficient. Their models are engineered with polyurethane insulated frames and warm-edge spacer systems, so the heat stays outside during the summer and inside during the colder months. They also come with low-e coatings and argon gas-fill options to increase energy efficiency ratings.
Bring Your Aesthetic Together
Our installers ensure the aesthetic value of your new windows is as good as the functional value to bring your home’s aesthetic together—not just outside but also inside. The Sunrise Series is designed to be a premium, cost-effective blend of performance and beauty. We’ll bring your vision to life using anything from single- and double-hung windows to various geometric shapes.
Making Your Home More Valuable
Professional window installation is a practical home improvement that yields a high return on investment. How much value will Mi Windows add? It depends on the level of improvement we’re talking about, but it scales up fast! More windows, efficiency, and beauty = better and better ROI.The Beauty Of Professional Window Installation

The resulting deck is well built and more beautiful than…
We are repeat customers of Shiner and recently had our deck replaced. The Shiner experience was exemplary. The Shiner President set high expectations with us regarding the deck crew and the Trex decking material. The crew exceeded our expectations with their workmanship and attention to detail. Communication with Shiner was well coordinated on all levels. The resulting deck is well built and more beautiful than we anticipated.
Based on our experience, we recommend considering Shiner for exterior…
We went with Shiner to replace all 26 windows in our house. From the sales call to the actual installation, Shiner was professional, courteous, and responsive. We had easy contact with the project coordinator, who kept us informed with progress of our install. The only delay was the window manufacturer running a week late producing our large order (not Shiner's fault). Shiner provided a large crew that installed the windows in a single day (including frame repairs) and finished the exterior trim the next day. Based on our experience, we recommend considering Shiner for exterior projects.
Would thoroughly recommend….
Excellent service. From the initial consultation to the install to the follow up. Everyone we interacted with at Shiner was professional, helpful and very good at their job. We had new gutters and downpipes installed on our sunroom. They are a perfect match for the rest of the gutters on the house. The install was quick and hassle-free and they left no mess for us to clean up. The following day we received a follow up call to ensure that we were satisfied with the work. Would thoroughly recommend.
They are very easy to work with, easy to communicate…
Shiner Exteriors were fantastic to work with! They were able to come out the next business day, first thing in the morning to address our concern and give us a quote/plan. They fixed our roof issues quickly and efficiently, and sent us clear photos of the work completed afterward. They are very easy to work with, easy to communicate with, and very attentive!
Friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable
I appreciated the level of customer service
Why You’ll Love Partnering With Shiner
There’s more to Shiner Exteriors than our people-first window replacement process and high-caliber installations. The big-ticket aspects of our service include:
Expertly Selected & Weather-Ready
Shiner doesn’t install exterior remodeling products. We install systems. No matter which part of your home we’re upgrading (or repairing), we offer a wide, versatile selection of systems designed to withstand our extreme weather norms…over the LONG haul.
Our Work Shows We Genuinely CARE
Contractors can get away with a lot. We know that but go the extra mile. Like installing custom bent aluminum capping with contoured bends over the windows’ exterior brick moulding to mimic its wood shape for a more detailed & architectural look rather than the plain boxy look.
Crews That Do Nothing But Windows & Doors
It’s worth repeating that the Shiner crew who handles your window installation will be experts. They’re not GCs who dabble in a bit of everything but specialize in nothing. This focus translates into refined techniques, precision details, and better execution in general.
Core Values Are Our Compass
Shiner Exteriors has used core values as a compass since our founding in 1981. These values are honesty, respect, accountability, reliability, and trust. Expect to see these values in action throughout each phase of your window installation project.
Thousands Of Happy Customers
We’re not the new kids on the block or amateurs by any stretch of the imagination. Since 1981, we’ve worked with thousands of Northern VA–Suburban Maryland home and business owners and completed over 10,000 projects. This community we’ve built IS our reputation.
Important Window Installation FAQs
Am I In Your Service Area?
Do you live in the Northern VA–Suburban Maryland region? If so, you’re likely within reach. We’re based in Sterling, VA, but serve the entire Suburban Maryland (DMV) area. Please visit our Service Areas page for more information. If you’re still unsure whether we can help you, please contact us, and we’ll let you know immediately.
Anything I Should Do To Prepare?
Sure, there are some very basic things you can do to help ensure your project goes smoothly. Please remove blinds, curtains, alarms, and other items around your windows. Also, while we use protective coverings, feel free to use some of your own for important furnishings that can’t be moved.
Can I Expect Your Crews To Be Clean?
Ab-so-LUTELY! Shiner Exteriors takes cleanliness seriously on every project. We use drop cloths, take steps to minimize dust and debris, clean up every day, and aim to leave work areas cleaner than when we arrived. If you see anything less, notify your Shiner foreman or field supervisor.
Can I Finance My Window Installation Project?
Of course. Financing makes perfect financial sense when replacing a larger number of windows or combining window installations with other exterior remodeling projects. Our payment plans help you budget and make these upgrades to your home more affordable. Visit our Financing page, or let your Shiner project consultant know you’re interested.
Do Your Window Installations Come With Warranties?
We provide a five-year workmanship warranty on our installations. If there’s any issue, we’ll fix it within that time. Mi also offers a lifetime non-prorated transferable warranty that covers PVC frames and sashes, insulated glass, screens, hardware, balances, and other moving parts.
How Long Will My Window Installation Project Take?
Most installations can be completed in 1-2 days. As the number of windows increases and the amount of quality control and complexity increases, so does your project timeline. Our crews are seasoned, fast, precise, and efficient. Rest assured, the timeline for your project will be thoroughly planned, scheduled, and explained to you.
Should I Replace All My Windows At Once?
Your Shiner project consultant will thoroughly explain the state of each window and give you their professional opinion on which are ready for replacement. Then, you can decide on how you want to approach the project. There won’t be any pressure. We’re here to help you replace as many as you need.
What If A Window Is Installed Incorrectly?
If, for some reason, we miss a small mistake, simply contact us as soon as you notice. We’ll send a window specialist to fix the issue quickly, thoroughly, and professionally. Simple as that.
