Window Quotes
Window quotes can look similar on the surface but include very different products and scopes. HSRC helps homeowners ask the right questions.
A useful window quote should describe the product line, glass package, install method, warranties, trim work, timing, and exclusions. Comparing quotes fairly means comparing the same variables.
Key Takeaways
- Compare product line and glass package, not just totals.
- Ask what is included in labor.
- Ask about exclusions and change-order policies.
- Warranties matter — read them.
- Check who performs the installation.
Overview: Window Quotes
The clearer the quote, the easier it is to compare. Ask for a written scope and product line.
