Planning tips for this checklist
Separate repair from replacement
Drafts, condensation, rot, water stains, broken locks, and noise problems do not always require the same solution. Mark which openings need repair, insert replacement, or full-frame work.
Normalize installer bids
Window quotes should be compared by opening count, product line, glass package, trim work, rot allowances, disposal, lead paint precautions, rebates, and warranty terms.
Inspect before final payment
Operation, locks, screens, caulk lines, trim, cleanup, labels, and warranty documents are easiest to check while the installer is still on site.
