I gave my distributor a rough opening of 36" x 60", and I don't see it on the quote! Is this correct or do I have to call them and sort this out?" It's your turn. Answer Paul's question by selecting one of the following responses:
- A.
"Paul, I'm so glad you called. It sounds as though these will be new construction windows, but we actually deduct 1/4" from the rough opening to achieve Tip To Tip measurements on all of our windows. Please tell me your quote number and I'll change it and email it back to you right away with special pricing."
