DIY Porch Window Installation — Are You Kidding Me?

A lot of porch-window companies say their windows need to be professionally installed.

With Xtend Porch Windows, that is not necessary for many projects.

Xtend was designed by people who spent years installing porch windows, with the goal of making installation simpler for homeowners, handymen, and contractors.

Built With DIY Installation in Mind

Xtend windows arrive:

• Pre-drilled
• With color-matched installation screws
• With Lexel sealant
• With screens finished and installed

Porch Windows Direct also provides the other tools you need to be successful: installation instructions and step-by-step videos, plus one-on-one technical support if you need help along the way.

If you are comfortable with a tape measure, level, caulk gun, and cordless drill, the basic installation is very approachable.

Factory Direct Means You Have a Choice

Xtend windows are sold factory direct, not through a dealer network.

You are not required to purchase installation or use a special installer. You can install the windows yourself or hire a local handyman, carpenter, or contractor.

That choice does not affect the product warranty.

Some manufacturers tie warranty coverage to approved or certified installers. We do not.

Xtend is backed by a lifetime warranty without requiring a certified installer.

The Porch May Be the Bigger Project

For many DIY projects, installing the window is the straightforward part.

Framing repairs, structural changes, fall-protection requirements, or major trim work may require more carpentry experience. In those cases, bringing in a contractor can make sense.

Our measuring resources, FAQs, and installation videos can help you understand what your project involves before getting started.

DIY Does Not Mean Doing It Alone

If you run into a question, we can help by phone, pictures, or FaceTime.

Xtend was designed to have more of the work completed at the factory and less left to figure out at the jobsite.

For many homeowners, installing their own Xtend Porch Windows is a very realistic project.
