Use a stage-specific checklist before moving forward.

A better way to compare upgrades

A contractor quote may look simple, but important details can hide in what is not written. Before you compare prices, compare the scope:

  • Which openings are being upgraded?
  • Are existing shutters or impact-rated products already present?
  • Are doors, garage doors, glass blocks, or skylights included?
  • Are product approvals listed?
  • Is permit responsibility clear?
  • Does the scope match the inspection report?
  • What happens after installation?

When to slow down

Slow down if:

  • You are being pushed to sign the same day
  • The contractor has not reviewed your inspection findings
  • The quote does not list specific openings or products
  • The deposit is large and the scope is vague
  • You are not sure whether work can begin yet
  • You do not know what documents you will need after the job
