Contents of a Good Window Replacement Contract

A window contractor’s word isn’t just as good as the language of the contract. If your installer says something that doesn’t appear on the agreement, then the statement isn’t legally binding.

To protect yourself from false claims, empty promises and scams, look for these elements when reading a window replacement contract.

Contact Details

A reputable installer of windows provides a real address and reachable communication channels. A fax number is optional, but you should be able to find mailing and email addresses as well as phone numbers.

Overview of the Project

This part ensures that both parties are on the same page regarding the scope and goals of the project.

Proof of Credentials

This section makes sure that your contractor is qualified to install your new windows and sliding patio doors.

The Equality State may not require window installers to obtain a professional license, but your prospective contractor should still be able to prove that it’s legitimate to operate in your area.

Moreover, you should receive verifiable proof of insurance to financially protect you in case something happens during construction.

Material and Cost Outline

This itemized list of products and their corresponding costs matters to give you a clear idea about where your money goes.

Warranty Information

Which parts of your replacement windows and doors are warranty protected? This section should talk about the coverage.

Payment Terms

This section makes it clear how much you have to pay and when you have to pay it. There shouldn’t be any ambiguity in the conditions to avoid disputes.

Change Order Process

This part provides some guidance in case some modification to the original agreement is in order.

Termination Clause

A good contract doesn’t trap either party in a bad situation. This section provides both parties a way out without incurring a penalty. Likewise, this part can talk about a reasonable dispute resolution procedure for fixing any misunderstanding.
