Checklist — Hiring a Contractor

There is a few things to consider when hiring a good contractor. First you should write a description of the work you want done, with as much detail as possible.Check with your municipal building department to ensure that the work can be done and if any special permits are required, such as zoning approval. Now it is time to find a contractor to perform the work you require.

Start by asking friends and neighbours for recommendations. Get names from your family members, friends, local home builder and renovator associations, building supply outlets and, in some municipalities, your local building department. No matter how you find this contractor here is a few things you MUST ask before they start. This will protect you as a home-owner and can save you money and headache if things do not turn out the way you planned.

If they are full frame replacements then they may but sometimes they will not because your frame size has changed. Consider this before you start your project.

Materials

Good quality doors can be made from various materials:

Poor Installation can cause problems

A knowledgeable professional should install window and doors according to the manufacturer's instructions. A poorly installed product may not operate properly and could cause drafts even though the product itself is energy efficient. Poor installation may also allow water to leak into the home, leading to costly damage.

Can windows be installed in the winter?

Answer:

Yes they can, however once we reach -15 degrees Celsius, the install may be cancelled. The caulking will not adhere or cure properly. Also we must consider the safety of the installers.

Will new windows and doors save us money?

Answer:

The weakest link in your home's thermal efficiency is often the windows and doors. Replacing them reduces your heating bills quite dramatically.
