Question 1

Can you handle tricky or custom window shapes?

Accepted Answer

Not all contractors are comfortable with non-standard window designs. If your home has bay, bow, arched, or large picture windows, confirm that your installer has experience with these types and can provide a structural and aesthetic solution that fits your home.

Question 2

Do you handle disposal of old windows?

Accepted Answer

Removing and disposing of old windows can be messy and time-consuming. Confirm whether the contractor includes safe removal, recycling, or disposal of old windows in their service.

Question 3

What happens if something is damaged during window installation?

Accepted Answer

Accidents are rare, but it’s important to know your contractor’s policy. Ask whether they have insurance coverage for accidental damage and how they handle repair or replacement if something goes wrong. Clear expectations upfront can prevent frustration later.

Question 4

Will installing new windows require changes to interior trim or walls?

Accepted Answer

Older homes may have window openings that aren’t standard sizes. Ask whether the contractor can modify the trim or adjust drywall as part of the installation. Some quotes include finish work, while others do not.
