How to Vet a Local Installer
Use these checkpoints before signing anything:

- Local project history: Ask for addresses nearby. Nearby work proves familiarity with regional building conditions.
- Written scope documents: Detailed proposals list product lines, colors, hardware, and timelines. Vague one-page quotes tend to hide change orders.
- Service commitment: After-sales service ranks second in contractor priorities, cited by 92% of professionals. Confirm who answers your call next winter.
