Window and door projects involve more than the unit itself. Discuss the existing openings, how you want them to work, and the interior and exterior finishing needed to bring the installation together.
Start with what is not working.
Describe difficult operation, visible wear, concerns around an opening, or a style you want to change. A like-for-like replacement and a different opening or configuration can involve different amounts of work.
Compare an appearance and an arrangement.
Explore double-hung, casement, French casement and bay window examples. Try frame colors, divided-light looks, trim and shutters, or compare entry and French-door styles. The sample house changes all windows together so you can see a coordinated look.
Include the finishing work.
Ask what happens to the surrounding casing, trim, siding and interior surfaces. Confirm sizes, product specifications, installation details and any work to the opening before a proposal becomes a final decision.
