Each provider’s process for setting up window installation will be a little different, but here is generally what to expect:

Schedule a free on-site evaluation: In most cases, your window provider needs to understand what they’re working with to provide an accurate quote. The type and number of windows needed, which stories they’re on and the condition of the existing windows are all factors that play into the cost of window replacement. Some providers may only require that you fill out a quote form on their website with key information about your project in order to see estimated pricing.

Schedule an appointment: Once you have decided on the windows you want and are happy with the quote you received, it’s time to schedule the work to be completed. Some providers, such as Renewal by Anderson, offer the option of installing your windows with their in-house service. Some require you to use local contractors, and others offer both options.

Window installation: When your windows are made and ready for professional installation, your provider or contractor will come to your home to complete the work.

Before embarking on the process above, vet the providers and contractors you’re considering. You should have a good idea of their quality of workmanship, years of experience and average cost for similar projects to yours. Here are several tips to help you get the most out of your research.

• Read online reviews: When you evaluate potential contractors to install windows on your home, look into their reputation. Use customer reviews to inform your opinion about each provider. Start with trusted review aggregators like Trustpilot and the Better Business Bureau when reviewing potential contractors. You may also want to speak to friends, family or neighbors who might have used them in the past.
• Verify insurance and licensure: To mitigate risk in case of poor installation, damage or even an injury on your property, ensure that any contractor you consider has current and proper licensure, insurance and bonding. You can likely find unlicensed installers for a smaller fee, but the amount you save isn’t worth the potential fallout if things go wrong.
• Inquire about payment practices: How and when does the contractor expect to be paid? Do they require a deposit before and full payment after completing the job, or are they happy to receive the full amount after finishing the work? It could be a red flag if they expect the full amount upfront before performing any labor. You may also wish to inquire about financing options made available to homeowners.
• Request multiple quotes: Since your home and needs are unique, you need multiple quotes to get a sense of what a contractor should cost in your case. When reviewing your estimates, don’t simply select the lowest bidder. If there is a large difference between the quotes, ask each contractor to itemize their estimates and provide reasoning for the total amount.
