does the quoted price include all the interior trim or is that extra?
Most professional window installation quotes include basic interior trim and finishing, but the extent varies by contractor and project scope. You'll want to clarify exactly what's included when getting estimates.
Standard inclusions typically cover basic trim replacement around the window opening, caulking, and paint-ready finishing. This means installing new trim pieces that match your existing style and ensuring clean, sealed edges. Most reputable installers understand that leaving raw openings isn't acceptable, so basic interior finishing is part of a complete installation.
However, premium trim work often costs extra. If you want custom millwork, wider decorative casings, or specialty trim profiles that don't match your existing style, expect additional charges. The same applies if your walls need significant drywall repair around the opening or if you're upgrading from basic trim to more elaborate designs.
Ottawa contractors typically handle this differently depending on the project scope. Full-service window companies usually include standard trim matching in their base price, while some may itemize it separately. The key is getting detailed written estimates that specify exactly what interior finishing work is included versus what's considered an upgrade.
For your Ottawa window project, ask potential installers to walk through your home and provide detailed quotes that clearly break down materials, installation, and finishing work. This prevents surprise costs and ensures you're comparing apples to apples between different contractors.
