Accurate inventory of your windows

To obtain a realistic quote, start by carrying out a detailed inventory of your current openings. Count your windows by size (small, standard, French doors, bays) for a fairer price. Note the dimensions, opening types, and number of sashes.

A well-documented inventory greatly facilitates communication with companies and ensures that your estimate on the RenoIndex accurately reflects the technical reality of your renovation project.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a permit to replace my windows?

Generally, replacing windows with identical ones does not require a permit. However, if you change the size, colour, or material, or if your building is protected, a permit application is often mandatory. Always check the requirements with your local municipality.

What is the best material for windows?

The choice depends on your priorities: wood offers excellent insulation, PVC is economical and requires little maintenance, while aluminum is very durable and modern. Wood-metal combinations are also a robust and high-performance option for Swiss renovations.

How long does the work take?

Window replacement is relatively quick. On average, an experienced team can install several windows per day. For a standard single-family home, the work usually takes between two and four days, depending on the number of openings and the complexity of the installation.

Where can I get a reliable price estimate?
