Questions

Do you cover all of Norwalk?

Yes, including ZIP 50211. The installer who calls you back will confirm your address is in their service area.

Is the estimate free?

Many window companies measure and quote at no charge, but practices differ. Ask the pro when you book, and ask for the quote in writing with the product line and U-factor.

Does Norwalk require a permit to replace windows?

Each city runs its own building department. A same-size replacement is often exempt, while a new or bigger opening, such as a basement egress window, usually needs a permit. Ask the installer who pulls it and confirm with the City of Norwalk.
