Replacing your windows is a significant investment, and understanding the process upfront can help you make the best decision for your home. A window replacement consultation provides the information you need about options, pricing, and installation timelines.

At Fairway Exteriors, we focus on making the process clear and straightforward. This guide will outline what to expect during a consultation, from scheduling the appointment to reviewing design choices and receiving a detailed quote.

Initial Contact: Scheduling the Consultation

Your window replacement consultation begins when you first reach out to us. Whether you call or contact us online, we’ll ask for a few quick details, such as:

• Your availability for scheduling the appointment.
• The number of windows you’re thinking of replacing.
• Any specific concerns or goals you have for your new windows.

We typically schedule consultations within 24 to 48 hours, but we’re always flexible to accommodate your schedule. Our goal is to make sure the entire process is convenient and works for you.

What Happens During the On-Site Visit

Once we arrive at your home, we begin by measuring every single window you’re planning to replace. Accurate measurements are crucial for ensuring a perfect fit and smooth installation later on.

Code Compliance & Safety Considerations

During the measurement phase, we’ll also check for any code compliance requirements. For example, certain windows may need to be tempered or meet specific egress standards, particularly for basement or bedroom windows. If you have a basement window or a bedroom that requires an egress opening, we’ll discuss whether a casement or double-hung window is the best option.

Design & Style Discussion

We understand that window replacement isn’t just about function—it’s also about enhancing your home’s aesthetic. That’s why we take the time to talk through:

1. Your design preferences: Do you prefer a modern or traditional look?
2. Material options: Vinyl or fiberglass?
3. Budget considerations: We’ll work with your budget and suggest only two or three window options that best meet your needs.

Energy Efficiency Upgrades

If energy efficiency is a priority for you—especially in areas of your home that are harder to heat or cool—we’ll discuss glass upgrades. Many homeowners opt for higher energy-efficient glass in second or third-story bedrooms where temperature control can be challenging. We’ll explain the available options and help you choose the right upgrade for your home.

Receiving Your Quote

After the on-site visit, we aim to provide you with a detailed quote within 48 hours or less. The quote will include all the information about the window options, materials, and any upgrades discussed during the consultation.

From here, the decision is entirely in your hands. We won’t pressure you—we’re happy to answer any follow-up questions, come back for a second visit, or even connect you with previous homeowners who can share their experiences.

Next Steps After the Consultation

If you decide to move forward with Fairway Exteriors, here’s what happens next:

1. Final Measurements: Within 24 to 48 hours, we’ll return to take final measurements to ensure absolute precision.
2. Window Confirmation: We’ll send you a detailed confirmation, including handle sizes, colors, and every window’s specifications.
3. Ordering the Windows: Once everything is confirmed, we’ll place the order.

Estimated Delivery Times

• Vinyl windows: Typically take 4 to 6 weeks to arrive.
• Fiberglass windows: Usually take 8 to 10 weeks.

Once the windows arrive, our goal is to schedule your installation within one week. We understand that timely installation is key, and we strive to make it happen as quickly as possible.
