What to Ask Before Replacing Windows and Doors

Replacing windows and doors is easier to plan when you ask the same questions of every installer. A Tampa home may have different needs at each opening, so a useful proposal should identify the products, the installation work and the responsibilities on both sides.

Which products are proposed?

Ask for manufacturer, model, size, frame, glass, operating style and hardware by opening. If impact protection matters, request the applicable Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance for each exact configuration. A broad claim that products are “hurricane ready” is not a substitute for the documents.

What does the price include?

Confirm whether the proposal includes removal, disposal, opening preparation, fastening, sealing, trim, hardware, cleanup, permits and inspections. Ask how damaged framing or sills discovered during work will be documented and priced. Review deposits and payment milestones before signing.

Who handles problems later?

Read product and workmanship warranties separately. Ask who to contact for service, what records you will receive and whether any registration or maintenance is required. Avoid relying on testimonials or project results that cannot be documented. STH Windows & Doors can discuss options for your home and explain a written scope.
