How to choose a window contractor.

What to ask before you hire, from Rocky.

Window and door replacement for cold Alberta winters. Use this checklist when you compare window contractors, then ask Rocky if you want a second opinion.

  • Ask whether the quote covers full-frame or insert installation.
  • Ask how they insulate and seal around the new frame.
  • Get at least two written quotes that list scope, materials, schedule and payment stages.
  • Contractors who take money before the work is finished need an Alberta prepaid contracting licence. Ask for the number before you pay a deposit.
  • Ask for a WCB Alberta clearance letter and proof of liability insurance.
  • Read recent reviews and ask for references from jobs like yours.
