Here’s what an in-home appointment for replacement windows looks like

Published: June 20, 2023

During an in-home sales appointment for replacement windows with DunRite Windows & Doors, homeowners generally fall into two categories: they either prefer to make a decision that trusts their own intuition, or they extensively research information before the appointment. They want to know ALL the details and come into the appointment self-informed, having a good idea what they want.

We do our best to satisfy both, and the spectrum in between, by providing enough information for the homeowner to make an informed decision they are comfortable with.

We’re confident in our pricing and reputation, and avoid any kind of high-pressure sales tactics. We hope that comes across in the appointment, and we’ll treat you like we would want to be treated.

How to Measure for Replacement Windows

Published: Aug. 4, 2022

Are you thinking of installing new windows? Then it might be time to dust off your measuring tape and put your skills to the test! You’ll need to know how to measure for replacement windows if you’re planning to purchase and install them yourself, or if you’re comparing DIY pricing to those from window and door companies.

However, if you plan on outsourcing the job to professionals, measurements are unnecessary. Don’t waste time doing it, unless it’s a virtual appointment and they specifically request measurements. Allowing them to handle measurements ensures they’re responsible for any mistakes, not you, and they’ll take measurements multiple times throughout the estimate and installation process.

DunRite Windows & Doors will happily measure and order the correct windows for a flawless install every time, if you’re interested in a price quote. However, here’s a quick tutorial if it’s something you prefer to do yourself.
