Start by asking basic questions. It means that you should ask several
contractors for quotes and then ask them the same questions to get a
better idea about how they are going to handle your windows
replacement project. Be sure to ask about what they are going to
charge for the project, what process they follow when selecting
different products, and if they are going to offer some discounts or not.
You should also ask them about their experience in the industry because
this will ensure that you are working with someone who knows how to
complete tricky projects.
Never forget to ask if the contractor you are going to select carries
insurance or not. You will be better off avoiding a contractor who makes
big claims but is not insured. You should look for a contractor who
carries workers' compensation insurance and liability insurance. It means
that if something goes wrong while working on your project, you will not
have to worry about anything. Even when a contractor says that they
are insured, it is still a good idea to ask them to send current certificates
before starting the job. It is even better to check if they have insurance
for window projects or not. A contractor who is not insured may not be a
full-time contractor, may have issues affording insurance premiums, or
may have just started offering services in the industry. Simply avoid such
folks!
