What to tell the company about your window or glass
Five details help a company understand the job before it sends a quote, plus the home's age if it was built before 1978. You do not need the exact words for each part. Plain descriptions are enough, in the form's details or on the call.
The type of window or glass
Say whether it is a double-hung, casement, sliding or fixed window, a screen, a storm window or a glass door. If you know it, say whether the window is wood, vinyl or metal and whether it has one pane or two. If you see moisture between two panes, or a single cracked pane, say which.
What broke
Describe the damage in a sentence: a cracked pane, shattered glass, fog between the panes, a sash that will not open or stay up, a broken lock or crank, or a damaged frame or sill. Send a photo if the company asks for one. For broken glass, see window glass repair and replacement. For a break that cannot wait, see emergency window repair.
Which part of town
Give your town or ZIP code, such as Madison, Middleton or Sun Prairie. The company uses it to see whether the job is within the area it serves.
A home or a business
Say whether the window is in a house, an apartment or a business. This helps the company judge which kind of job it is. If the glass is at a shop, office or other business, mention a door or a large front window.
Whether the opening is secure
Tell the company whether the opening is closed up or open to the weather and to people. Say if the glass is still in the frame, if loose pieces remain, and if you have covered it. Ask the company what it advises for the time before the work.
Home age and permits
- Built before 1978? Say so. The Wisconsin DHS says its lead-safe renovation rule covers homes built before 1978.
- Replacing the window? The City of Madison permit chart lists "Windows & Frames - replace" as needing a permit. Ask whether one applies to your job.
- A small repair? Madison says a permit is not required for small repairs under $500 in estimated value.
Questions about getting a quote
How do I request a quote?
Send the quote form on this page with your name, phone number, ZIP code, the service you need and details of the problem, or call. Madison Window Repair passes your request to an independent local window repair company, which gives you its own quote.
Does the referral cost me anything?
No. Our service to you is free, and the company may pay us for the referral. What you pay is the company's own quote for the job. Ask whether a visit before the quote carries a charge.
How fast will I hear back?
The timing of the work is between you and the company, so say clearly in the form or on the call if the opening is not secure, and ask the company when it can come.
We call you back within one business day of your form or message.
What should I have ready before I send the form or call?
Five things: the type of window or glass, what broke, your town or ZIP code, whether it is a home or a business, and whether the opening is secure. If the house was built before 1978, say so too.
Can I ask about a business window or door?
Yes. Say it is a business in the form or when you call, and mention whether it is a storefront door or a large pane. Ask the company whether it takes that kind of job.
Do you do the repair?
No. Madison Window Repair is a referral service. You settle price and dates with the independent company you are connected with, not with Madison Window Repair.
Does my Madison window repair need a permit?
It depends on the job. The City of Madison permit chart marks "Windows & Frames - replace" as needing a permit. The chart says nothing about repair or glass-only work. Madison also says a permit is not required for small repairs under $500 in estimated value. Owners of one- and two-family homes can apply online for window work that does not need plan review, such as replacing windows in an existing opening. Ask the City of Madison Building Inspection or the company about your job.
My house was built before 1978. What do I tell the company?
Say the year in the form or when you call. The Wisconsin DHS says its lead-safe renovation rule covers homes built before 1978. DHS says lead companies must give owners the EPA Renovate Right pamphlet before work starts. Ask the company whether it is on the DHS certified lead company list and whether it gave you that pamphlet.
Is my window repair covered by the home improvement contract rules?
Ask the company. The state Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) lists what a written home improvement contract should contain, including a full description of the job, the total price, and start and completion dates. DATCP also says a contract over $25 signed at home after the contractor approached you gives three business days to cancel, and that a written contract is required when payment is due before the work is done.
How do I check a contractor's license?
The City of Madison says contractors must be licensed with the State of Wisconsin to work on one- and two-family homes. It suggests checking the license through the state's online lookup. Ask the company which license it holds.
