Terms of use

SashPoint is a **free service that helps homeowners learn about replacement windows and get matched with licensed, insured installers**. We are not a window company or contractor, and using this site means you understand that difference.

What this site is for

SashPoint gives general information about replacement windows and helps you request contact from participating window installers in your area through get matched. We do not install windows, manufacture windows, sell glass, pull permits, supervise jobs, or act as your contractor.

Our articles and guides are meant to help you ask better questions. For example, you may see information about typical costs, frame materials, or energy terms like U-factor and SHGC. That information is educational only. It is not a quote, bid, inspection, code determination, engineering opinion, tax advice, financial advice, or guaranteed savings statement.

If you use this site, you agree to use it for lawful, personal, homeowner purposes and to provide accurate project and contact details so installers can respond.

How matching works

Matching is free to the homeowner. Participating installers pay SashPoint a flat fee to receive homeowner inquiries.

Here is the basic process:

  1. You share project details like your ZIP code, window count, style interests, timeline, and contact information.
  2. We try to match you with licensed, insured installers who serve your area.
  3. Those installers may contact you by phone, text, or email about your project.
  4. You compare quotes, you choose who to hire, and you hold the final payment.

We do not promise that every request will result in a match, that any installer will contact you, or that you will receive a certain number of quotes. Availability depends on your area, your project, and installer participation.

We also do not guarantee project price, timing, workmanship, product availability, rebate eligibility, or energy savings. Window pricing and savings are only typical estimates and depend on the number and size of windows, window style and glass package, the home's age and condition, the climate and local energy rates, and the area.

What you should verify before you hire anyone

Please do your own checking before signing a contract or paying a deposit. A good starting point is our guide on how to vet a window installer.

At a minimum, you should:

  • Hire licensed and insured installers where required, and verify the license and insurance yourself
  • Get the full scope in writing before any deposit, including frame material, glass package, brand or product line if offered, whether it is insert or full-frame replacement, and key ratings like U-factor and SHGC when relevant
  • Confirm who handles permits, inspections, disposal, lead-safe practices for older homes, cleanup, and warranty service
  • Read the cancellation, change-order, and payment terms carefully
  • Follow local permits and building code

If you want help understanding window terms before comparing proposals, our window energy ratings guide can help you read the fine print.

No professional, legal, financial, or code advice

The content on SashPoint is written in plain language to help you understand common window topics. It is not professional advice. We are not your lawyer, contractor, architect, engineer, home inspector, tax adviser, lender, or utility company.

That matters because the right choice for one home may be wrong for another. Double-pane vs. triple-pane, Low-E coatings, argon gas, frame material, and full-frame vs. insert replacement all depend on the house, the climate, the opening condition, and local code. Any savings from more efficient windows are usually modest and vary widely. They are never guaranteed.

For product details, ratings, and written scope, get them directly from the installer and review them carefully before you sign.

Your information and acceptable use

To use the matching service, you may be asked for normal project and contact details, such as your name, phone number, email address, ZIP code, and information about your windows. Do not send sensitive information like Social Security numbers, bank account numbers, credit card numbers, or other financial records through this site.

You agree not to:

  • Submit false, misleading, or someone else's contact information without permission
  • Use the site to spam, scrape, attack, or interfere with the service
  • Pretend SashPoint is an installer, manufacturer, or contractor
  • Copy or reuse site content in a deceptive way

We may update these terms from time to time as the site changes. By continuing to use the site, you accept the current version posted here.

In plain English

Use SashPoint to learn and get matched for free, but remember this: we are not the installer. Check licenses and insurance yourself, get the full window scope and price in writing before any deposit, compare quotes, and choose the company you trust.

Common questions

Does SashPoint give me a quote for my windows?
No. SashPoint does not provide quotes, bids, or contracts for window work. We share general educational information and help match you with participating installers. Any actual price must come from the installer in writing after they review your project.
Does SashPoint guarantee an installer's work or energy savings?
No. We do not guarantee workmanship, product performance, permit approval, schedule, or dollar savings on utility bills. Energy-efficient windows can reduce drafts and heat loss, but real results depend on the glass package, frame, installation quality, your home's condition, the climate, and local energy rates.
What should I get in writing before paying a deposit?
Get the total price and the full scope in writing: number of windows, sizes if known, style, frame material, glass package, whether the job is insert or full-frame replacement, key ratings like U-factor and SHGC when relevant, permit responsibility, cleanup, warranty terms, and payment schedule. Verify the installer's license and insurance yourself and follow local permit and code requirements.
