4 Practical Questions to Ask a Window Replacement Contractor

Learning more about your window replacement project is always ideal. Any questions you might have, no matter how seemingly trivial, should be posed without hesitation to your choice of window replacement contractor in the Birmingham, AL area. Start things off with these four practical questions: 

1. “Do you have the necessary credentials?” First things first: make sure your choice of window replacement contractor has the applicable licensing and insurance, plus workers’ compensation and liability coverage. Working with a contractor with these qualifications, such as Reliable Design-Build-Remodel, goes a long way towards ensuring your greater protection. 

2. “Can you give me an itemized window estimate?” Window estimates should be as precise and detailed as possible. It should cover every aspect of your window replacement, from project timeline and labor and product costs to post-installation cleanup and warranty coverage. A dependable window company should have no problem providing you the breakdown of expenses. If you see any charges that seem vague or out of place, have them clarified immediately.

3. “How long does window replacement take?” This will usually depend on the number of windows that will be removed and installed. If you’ve ordered custom windows, you may have to wait a fair bit. Barring unforeseen circumstances, the replacement process itself will usually take a day or two. Reliable Design-Build-Remodel will provide you with a more accurate projection should you turn to us for this home upgrade.

4. “Is disposal included in the service?” The old windows that used to grace your home have to go somewhere. Make sure to ask your contractors whether they offer window disposal (and cleanup) as part of their service. You may expect to pay an additional charge if the task isn’t normally included.
