Every Successful Window Replacement Project Starts With a Plan. Yours Should Too

In Florida — and in many other states where the permitting process continues to grow more demanding — window replacement companies face a quiet but persistent challenge from the very start of every project:

They need maps.
They need elevations.
They need to document each opening.
They need to clearly note what’s being installed, where, and under what conditions.

And yet, today, many companies are still solving this in the most improvised ways.

Some download images from Property Appraiser websites and draw over them with arrows.
Others open tools like Paint or PowerPoint to mark which windows are being replaced.
Some even pay third parties to generate basic elevations when they need to submit documentation for permits.

The result is not just wasted time — it also creates an unprofessional impression in front of the client… and in front of the permitting department.

Are you still downloading property appraiser images and writing notes on top of them?
Or drawing your project maps in tools that were never designed for installation planning?

Because that doesn’t just slow down your workflow.
It makes your company look unprofessional.

Windsketch is changing that.

Take a look at this project map created directly inside Windsketch:

Companies using Windsketch can create project maps visually, clearly, and structurally from the very beginning. Each opening is identified, each note is tied to the correct element, and all the information needed for installation or permitting stays centralized.

This doesn’t just reduce field errors.

It also accelerates the permitting process by presenting clearer, more organized documentation.

But it doesn’t stop there.

Windsketch also allows companies to create visual elevations that can be used both for permitting and for communication with clients.

Take a look at this elevation created inside Windsketch:

These elevations help illustrate, for example, the difference between two grid patterns — or how the façade will look after installation. They become a powerful visual tool not only for the technical team, but also for the end customer.

And when the customer understands visually what will be installed, approvals come faster.

In an industry where permitting can define the pace of your revenue, having clear maps and professional elevations is no longer a luxury.

It’s a competitive advantage.

Windsketch allows window, door, and shutter companies to begin every project with clarity — starting from the very first drawing.

If your team is still relying on screenshots, sketches, or tools that weren’t built for window installation projects, it may be time to rethink how your projects begin.
