We Take The Mystery Out Of Tracking Your
Tri-State Replacement Window Order!
See How Window Shopping’s System Keeps
You Up To Date On Your Project’s Status
If you’ve ever ordered replacement windows in the Tri-State area, you know the process takes time to complete. That’s true because your project must go through multiple steps prior to your scheduled installation day.
This would be fine if you knew what was happening while you’re waiting for your new windows. But that’s often not the case.
Why? The average contractor doesn’t do a great job keeping you informed on your order’s status. This typically happens for either of two reasons.
Some contractors have a tracking process in place, but keep that process hidden from you. However, you’ll also find companies that barely know what’s going on themselves. Either way, you can end up feeling clueless and left in the lurch.
At Window Shopping, we know there’s a better way. While the details of various projects differ, the general outline of our approach remains the same.
That includes getting the windows you’ve ordered ready to install as soon as possible. It also includes letting you know what to expect as your order makes its way through our clear, well-established tracking system.
The Steps Required To Order Replacement Windows
What happens when you choose Window Shopping as your replacement window provider? The first step is getting an installer out to your home shortly after you place your order. This installer’s job is to precisely measure the size of the openings your new windows will fill.
Next the installer relays those measurements to Dawn, one of our most valuable players here in the office. It’s her job to take that information and prepare your order’s initial quote.
This quote then goes to Glenn, our owner. He double-checks it to ensure its accuracy.
When Glenn signs off, Dawn sends the order to the window manufacturer. During this next phase of the process, we’re waiting just like you.
Generally speaking, we know what turnaround times to expect for different types of windows. That’s especially true for non-custom orders.
But there’s no hard and fast formula. So we all practice a bit of patience as we anticipate the arrival of the completed windows.
Once your windows are in, we can schedule your installation date. The last step in the process is the installation itself.
Providing A Timeline For Your Tri-State Area Order
Every customer who orders replacement windows from Window Shopping receives an estimate of the time remaining until their install day. However, we don’t make ironclad claims that fit every situation.
Why not? A range of factors can alter your expected timeline. As a rule, these are factors out of our direct control.
For example, delays in the factory can slow down our process.
The same holds true for a long run of bad weather in our sometimes unpredictable regional climate. We’re also busier certain times of the year than others.
While we don’t call and bug you with every little update, if you call us, we’ll provide as much information as we can on what to expect. And on the typical project, our estimates are highly reliable.
But significant delays occasionally occur. It doesn’t matter if those delays aren’t up to us. We owe it to you to let you know what’s happening and why.
What Happens If Your Window Order Is Delayed?
Glenn jokingly likes to claim that he informs customers of order delays because no one else will! But the truth is, he’s not your only potential contact. You may also receive a call from another member of our team.
These conversations can be difficult.
It’s hard to tell someone it’s going to take longer than expected to complete their project. Besides which, we hate disappointing even one of our valuable customers.
But we’d rather be straight with you than leave you in the dark. So we make the call and provide as complete an update as possible.
In this way, we stay true to our mission of providing superior customer service even in trying circumstances.
