The window installation process is a little different from dealer to dealer, but here's what to expect:
Schedule a Free On-Site Estimate In most cases, your window supplier needs to understand what he's doing in order to give you an accurate quote. The type and number of windows you need, what floor they are on, and the current condition of your windows will affect the cost of window replacement. Some vendors may ask you to fill out a quote form on their website with just key information about your project to see an estimate.
Schedule: Once you've decided on the windows you want and are happy with the quote you've received, it's time to schedule the job. Some vendors, such as Anderson Renovation, offer in-home window installation. Some prefer to use local contractors, while others offer both options.
Window installation : When your windows are prepped and ready for professional installation, your supplier or contractor will come to your home to complete the job.
Before starting the above process, research the suppliers and contractors you are considering. You should have a good idea of the quality of your work, years of experience, and the average cost of projects like yours. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your search.
- Read Online Reviews: When evaluating window contractors for your home, look at their reputation. Use customer reviews to form your own opinion about each provider. When looking for potential contractors, start with trusted review aggregators like Trustpilot and the Better Business Bureau. You can also chat with friends, family or neighbors who have used them in the past.
- Check insurance and license. To reduce the risk of improper installation, damage or damage to your property, make sure any contractor you hire has current and adequate licensing, insurance and coverage. You can probably find unauthorized installers for cheaper, but the savings aren't worth the consequences if something goes wrong.
- Ask about payment methods: How and when does the contractor expect payment? Do they ask for a down payment or full payment before the job is done, or are they happy to receive the full amount after the job is done? If they are waiting for the full amount before they act, this can be a red flag. You can also learn about financing options available to homeowners.
- Ask for multiple quotes: Because your home and needs are unique, you'll need multiple quotes to determine how much a contractor should spend on your case. When looking at rankings, don't just pick the lowest bid. If there is a large difference between the estimates, ask each contractor to submit their estimate and confirm the total.
