If you have an in house appointment with a window installer, it is time to get serious about the project. The in house visit is where you get the chance to fully understand what you are getting as a part of the window replacement package. You will be meeting with the window installation company at your house so you can talk about the project in terms of your exact situation, and not in general terms of a typical window replacement.
The questions below address important aspects of the window replacement process that you will want to know the answers to before beginning the project. It is important to ask as many questions as you need to make you feel that you understand and are comfortable with what the installer is proposing. This is your only chance to discuss it before moving forward in the process.
