How to choose the best window & door professionals for your project

When it comes to choosing the best professionals in New Zealand, it’s important to do some research. Take a look at the professional past projects, company profile and testimonials from previous clients. It’s also a good idea to make sure the candidates on your shortlist have worked on similar projects in the past. Once you’ve narrowed down your options, you can proceed to arrange meetings with the companies to discuss your project and see if you’re a good fit. During the initial meeting, you can ask your potential door and window professional the following questions:

  • What experience and certifications do you have in New Zealand?
  • Who will be present during the installation or will it be another team member?
  • Would you be able to provide an estimate for this project?
  • Do you also handle trim work and sealing?
  • What would the payment terms be for this project?

How long does it take professionals to install a window?

Once the windows and doors have been manufactured and delivered, the installation process goes pretty quickly. On average, it would take about 45 minutes to install a window in New Zealand.

How long do custom windows take?

Custom windows take longer to manufacture as they have specific requirements, materials and functions that set them apart from the standard produced items. Generally, it can take between four to 15 weeks to complete the project from the moment you hire a window specialist.

What time of year is best to replace windows?

Window and door installations are best planned for a time of year when there is little wind and rain. As such, late spring or early summer is usually the best time of year in New Zealand for these installations.

How long does door installation take?

When installing an exterior door, it can take anywhere from four to six hours, depending on if you have to remove the old one. Interior doors do not require the same steps, so the installation typically goes much faster.

Do interior doors need a header?

Door headers aren’t required on interior doors unless the door is located on a load-bearing wall. Headers offer structural support to doorways and should be at least two times the width of the door frame.
