Start with the condition.
Understand the scope.
Confirm the panel arrangement, opening direction and installation scope for the replacement slider. Ask which frame and trim components will remain and how the provider will check panel movement, meeting points, locks and the proposed drainage arrangement. Identify any separate sill or surrounding-opening repair before the work is agreed.
What may be involved
- horizontal slider frame
- fixed panel
- rolling sash
- rollers
- interlock seals
- weep covers
- latch
Ask the provider to distinguish existing parts to inspect, proposed replacements, and tools, materials or reports included in the service. Confirm the work and exclusions after assessment; this list does not mean that every item will be supplied or replaced.
LOCAL RESEARCH / Morgan Hill
Local context
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission’s window-fall guidance says never to depend on screens to keep children from falling out of windows, and suggests window guards, or window stops so that a window opens no more than 4 inches. It matters when you change how a window opens or replace hardware or screens. Raise it with the provider if young children use the room, and ask how any guard or stop interacts with escape and rescue openings. This is national safety guidance, not a compliance finding for your property.
