Your project manager will review all warrantydocuments with you, answer questions, and make sure you know how to registerand use your coverage if you ever need it.
What is your price guarantee?
Firm pricing for the agreed scope
Once you approve your contract, the price for that scope does not change unless you decide to add or remove work or we uncover a hidden condition that you choose to address.
Transparent change orders
If you request upgrades or if we discover something unexpected behind old siding or windows, we will walk you through options and pricing in writing before any extra work is done.
Current promotions applied upfront
Any discounts or promotions you qualify for are applied to your contract so you can see exactly how they affect the final price.
Ask your project manager to walk through your proposal line by line so there are no surprises.
How long does it take to have the products installed?
Typical ranges:
Single-feature projects, like a new front door or a small group of windows, are often completed in about a day once materials are on site.
Full window replacement projects usually take a few days, especially if we are replacing 10 or more windows and handling interior trim and exterior finishing.
Whole-house siding or full exterior transformations can run about one to two weeks, depending on home size, complexity, and weather.
How much do the products cost?
Windows
Your investment depends on the style, size, and material you choose, along with how many windows you are replacing.
Some basic window options can start around the low hundreds per window installed.
Premium options, such as fiberglass or higher efficiency packages, are on the higher end and increase the total project cost.
A typical whole-home project with 10 to 15 windows can reach into the tens of thousands, while larger homes with 20 or more windows will be more.

Siding and doors
Siding and door projects vary based on materials (fiber cement vs vinyl, standard vs custom doors), the condition of existing framing, and design details. Your project manager will measure, inspect, and provide a written quote tailored to your home.
Does installing new home upgrades really improve home value?
Independent Cost vs Value data shows that:
Replacing worn siding with new fiber cement or vinyl siding often recoups around 80% or more of the project cost at resale in many markets. Learn more at Realtor.com
Window replacement projects typically return about 60–70% of their cost in added home value, while also improving comfort and lowering energy bills. Check out Money.com to learn more.
Beyond the numbers, appraisers and buyers respond to curb appeal, low-maintenance products, and energy-efficient features. Your project manager can talk through which combination of siding, windows, and doors will do the most for your home’s value in North Alabama and help prioritize if you are working in phases.
