Hiring the pros

When hiring a replacement window company, be sure to ask:

• Are the installers certified?
• Is the company insured for injury and property damage?
• Is there a warranty for the installation? Who pays, and what’s included?
• Who is responsible for removing the old windows?
• What is the expected timeline for the installation?
• Will the company handle post-installation cleanup?
• If permits are required, will the company secure them?
• Can the company provide references or examples of past work?
• How will the company keep you informed throughout the process?
