Window Installation Services

Professional Window Installation for Greater Indianapolis Homes

Whether you’re building new construction, adding a window to an existing wall, or upgrading to a premium window system, Simple Roofing LLC delivers professional window installation throughout the Greater Indianapolis area. Proper installation is just as important as the quality of the window itself. Even the best window will underperform if it isn’t installed correctly.

Our experienced team installs all window types, including wood, vinyl, and clad windows, in both new-opening and retrofit applications. We follow manufacturer installation specifications, use proper flashing and air-sealing techniques, and finish every project with the care your home deserves.

Full-Frame Installation

Full-frame installation involves removing the existing window down to the rough framing and installing a completely new window unit, frame and all. This approach is the right call when:

• The existing frame is damaged, rotted, or structurally compromised
• You’re changing the window size or style
• You want to update the exterior trim and improve the overall waterproofing system
• The existing window is very old with an outdated design

Full-frame installation allows us to address any underlying issues in the wall assembly, upgrade the insulation, and ensure the new window is properly flashed and integrated with the home’s weather barrier.

Insert (Pocket) Installation

An insert installation places a new window unit inside the existing frame, preserving the original interior and exterior trim. This is a good option when:

• The existing frame is structurally sound, square, and in good condition
• You want to minimize disruption to interior finishes and exterior trim
• You’re replacing like-for-like on a budget
• Speed of completion is a priority. Insert installations are typically faster.

Wood, Vinyl & Clad Window Installation

Wood windows require careful attention to moisture management. We install appropriate housewrap, pan flashing, and sill pan flashing to protect the framing from water intrusion, especially important given Indiana’s wet spring seasons and freeze-thaw cycles that can work moisture into any gap.

Vinyl windows are dimensionally stable and straightforward to install, but still require precise shimming, leveling, and perimeter air sealing to achieve rated performance. We verify every window opens, closes, and locks correctly before wrapping up the job.

Clad windows often carry manufacturer-specific flashing requirements for the exterior cladding-to-wall interface. Our team follows these specifications carefully to protect the cladding connection and maintain full manufacturer warranty coverage.

Installation Details That Matter

The quality of window installation depends on details that aren’t visible once the trim goes on:

• Rough opening sizing: properly sized with adequate clearance for shimming and leveling
• Sill pan flashing: directs any water that enters back to the exterior, never into the wall
• Shimming and leveling: ensures the window operates smoothly and seals evenly all around
• Perimeter air sealing: low-expansion foam and caulk at the interior frame eliminates drafts
• Exterior flashing integration: properly lapped with the existing housewrap or weather barrier
• Trim and finishing: interior and exterior trim installed neatly for a clean, lasting result
