When considering an investment as important as an impact window and door upgrade, it is a smart idea to get quotes from an average of 3 contractors. But how do you choose which contractor is the best fit for you? The cheapest option may not be the best choice and may actually cost you more in the long run. Take the time to review the quotes/contracts and ask yourself and the consultants detailed questions. 

Questions to ask for every quote you receive:  

  • Are all the products identical?  

  • What labor is included in the contract?  

  • Are additional services included (shutter removal, painting, etc)? 

  • Is permitting and engineering included? 

  • Are there HOA or Building requirements this contractor does not meet (license, insurance, bonding, etc.) 

  • What is this contractor’s reputation?  

  • Do they have references I can talk to?  

Due diligence is a vital step in this process, and asking the right questions can be the difference between an impact window upgrade improving your home’s safety and value or working with a less than reliable contractor.
