Will the installers remove and dispose of my old windows?

Yes, professional window installers typically remove and dispose of your old windows as part of their installation service. This is standard practice and usually included in your installation quote.

Window removal and disposal is handled by the installation crew on the same day as your new window installation. The installers will carefully remove your existing windows, taking care to protect your interior finishes and minimize dust and debris. Most reputable contractors include this service in their base pricing, though it's always good to confirm this when getting quotes.

In Ottawa's market, disposal is particularly important because old windows often contain materials that require proper handling. Windows manufactured before the 1980s may contain lead paint, and some older sealed units contain gases that need environmental disposal. Licensed installers know the proper disposal methods and have relationships with recycling facilities that can handle window materials responsibly.

The removal process involves disconnecting the old window from the frame, removing any trim or casing as needed, and cleaning the opening for the new installation. Professional crews bring their own disposal bins or arrange pickup, so you won't have old windows cluttering your property. They'll also sweep up glass fragments and debris as part of their cleanup.

Some contractors charge separately for disposal if you have an unusually large number of windows or specialty windows that require extra handling. When getting quotes, ask specifically: "Does your price include removal and disposal of existing windows?" This ensures no surprise charges on installation day.

For a free estimate that includes removal and disposal of your old windows, request a quote from Ottawa Window Pros or find other licensed installers through the Ottawa Construction Network.
