We plan to redo our sunroom and our contractor said the wait for windows could be up to four months. They are a standard size, 3’x6’, I think. Anyway, he won’t start the project till the windows come in.

Have any of y’all waited longer than four months?

windows and doors are hard to come by.
on the commercial side the wait can be much longer

sooner they get ordered the sooner you’ll get them

He may be underselling the wait, from what I hear. But that is the standard answer right now, 16 weeks.

Have two friends building at the moment. One has been waiting more than 6mo for a garage door albeit it’s insulated and 16x14. Another has been waiting on windows 12 weeks. My contractor was on the ball when we built last year, only holdup was cabinets and brick subs and plumbers screwing things up.

We waited for 3 months for windows for our renovation.

When they came in, we discovered the contractor ordered the wrong ones.

We get to enjoy these for 3 more months until the correct ones come in. :)

New construction. Ordered in November. Supposed to ship April 11. We are lucky in that our contractor has done a great job at working around the delay and keeping the project moving, but we’re running out of things to do. We could have gotten different windows more quickly, but the brand/styles we wanted took longer.

Garage doors (Clopay) are 22-26 weeks but per the distributor those wait times are decreasing. We hope to have ours in 17-18.

I ordered my windows back at the beginning of August, 2021. The sizes aren't custom, but the colors are. Brown frame on the outside, white inside. I know, I know, but that's what the wife wanted. No wife pics if there's any OTers lurking. We were originally told 16 weeks delivery, so we started inquiring this January when we heard nothing. They then said it would be March. Well here it is March, and still no windows. We have siding that needs to be installed, and it is here, but they won't do the siding until the windows are installed. It's mind numbing and frustrating.

Ordered a non-standard window to replace the one above our front door. It was ordered the 1st of Aug.

They put it in last week.

Our windows and doors were ordered on March 22, and as of yesterday, they are in! Nine and a half weeks.

The contractor should begin work in the third week of June, as he is working on two other renos.

I was quoted 5 months for my front picture window this week. Don’t even ask price.

Ordered our windows first week in January. We’re supposed to be in on April 25th. We just got them in this week. Pushed our new home build back a whole month.
