A good installation plan covers measurement, removal, protection of the home, positioning, fastening, flashing, insulation, sealing, and finish work appropriate to the product and wall assembly.
Ask who is responsible for permits, interior and exterior trim, debris removal, and a final operation and water-management check.
Questions To Ask Before Requesting An Estimate
What is included in the proposed work? Which product and installation method are specified? Who handles any necessary permits or repairs? What warranty applies to the product and the labor?
Ask for the details in writing, including the payment schedule and how changes to the scope will be approved.
New Construction Versus Replacement Installation
New-construction windows typically use a fastening flange integrated with the water-resistive barrier. Replacement windows are installed into an existing opening using a method selected for the existing frame and wall assembly. The correct approach depends on what can be safely retained and how water is directed away from the opening.
Measurement And Ordering
The installer should measure each opening individually and check for square, level, and plumb conditions. Nominal window sizes do not replace field measurements. Confirm the exact operating direction, egress requirements where applicable, glass selection, grille pattern, and exterior finish before the order is placed.
Water Management And Air Sealing
Flashing, sill drainage, appropriate sealant, and insulation around the frame are as important as the window itself. Ask how the installation accommodates drainage and movement rather than relying on caulk alone. Installation details should follow the product instructions and the conditions of the wall.
Completion And Inspection
Test each sash and lock, verify screens and hardware, and inspect interior and exterior trim. Request product documentation and the written labor warranty. If permits or inspections are required, clarify who arranges them and how any punch-list items will be resolved.
