Our crew here at SiDEX just finished a sliding window conversion in Waukesha, WI for the Samson family. We converted a picture window into a 3 section sliding window at the request of the Samson family. They initially reached out to us because their old picture window was hard to open and close, also it was letting in drafts of cold air. The Samson family knew they had to replace this window before it became a problem. They took to the internet to find a local company that could help them replace the picture window with something that would be easier to open and close while also maintaining the same view they got with their picture window. After a short search they came across SiDEX, once they saw our glowing reviews and previous jobs, they knew our team was the right group for the job. They reached out and got a quote for the project. Once everything was agreed upon, our team got to work. We removed the old picture window and converted the space making enough room to install a 3 section slider window. This new 3 section slider window not only provided the Samson family with the same kind of views, but it also made this area a breeze to open and close. In the end this sliding window conversion in Waukesha, WI was a great success. The client was very happy with the work done, they even went as far as to leave a 5 star review for our company.
Sliding Window Conversion in Waukesha, WI Project Description
- Evaluate the current window: Make sure the window frame is in good condition for the new window
- Prepare for the Installation: Remove the old picture window, sash, and frame. Clean the opening and remove any debris. Make sure that the opening is level.
- Install the new slider window: Place the 3-section slider into the rough opening. Ensure it is level, square, and plumb using shims if necessary. Screw the window frame into place and seal any gaps with spray foam or insulation for a tight fit. Fit the outer sliding sections into their track and test the sliding function for smooth operation.
- Final touches: Use exterior-grade caulk around the frame’s perimeter to seal gaps. Install flashing tape if required for added protection against water infiltration. Reinstall or replace the interior and exterior trim to finish the look.

“I couldn’t be happier with the work done by Sidex. I had a large, outdated picture window that needed replacing, and I decided to upgrade to a 3-section slider window. From start to finish, the team was professional, efficient, and highly skilled. The company walked me through the entire process, from selecting the right style and materials to the installation timeline. They were transparent about costs and answered all my questions with patience. The crew arrived on time and worked diligently to remove the old window without damaging the surrounding area. They ensured the new window was perfectly level and sealed to prevent drafts. They also cleaned up thoroughly after the job was done—no stray nails or debris left behind! The new vinyl slider looks amazing and operates smoothly. The central stationary panel lets in plenty of natural light, while the sliding sections provide excellent ventilation. The window also feels much more energy-efficient than the old one. Overall, I’m thrilled with the results and highly recommend Sidex to anyone considering a window replacement. Their attention to detail and customer service are top-notch!”
