Permit Application
Window replacement usually requires a building permit to have third-party inspectors check the work,and ensure it complies with the fire egress code. Check with your local building department for more information.
Installation Scheduling
The installation won’t happen until weeks after the placement of the order. If the initial date isn’t good for you, notify us right away to move it to a more convenient time.
Home Preparation
On installation day, our Certified Master Installers will do all of the heavy lifting. But then again, we would appreciate if you could provide us parking space for our truck, so we can remove and install your windows more efficiently.
