This includes cleaning the glass, inspecting the frame and well for debris, and making sure the cover or well drains properly.

In addition, skipping window extras, like customized frames or window film, can help save money on the price tag without sacrificing the window itself. You should also shop around to multiple window installers to find the best installation deal without sacrificing the quality of the window.
