Count the openings by room
List the windows you want to replace and provide approximate sizes if known. Take interior and exterior photos. Explain what is not working and whether you want the new window to use the same opening. Final ordering requires the measurements and review appropriate to the product.
Describe the surrounding condition
Mention visible damage, staining and past repairs around each opening. The replacement scope may need to address more than the window unit itself. Ask how affected trim, siding and interior finishes will be handled rather than assuming they are all included.
Compare installed scope with product cost
A material price does not necessarily cover removal, installation, finishing and disposal. Discuss who supplies the windows and which product is intended. Review applicable product documentation rather than relying on a general promise about savings or maintenance.
Plan phases deliberately
If only some windows will be replaced now, tell the team about later plans. Consistency of appearance and future material availability may affect your decisions. Record the agreed openings and excluded areas so the estimate is easy to check.
