It all starts with a call (or text or message)
When you reach out to Burkhard Direct Windows and Doors to schedule an estimate, you’ll be greeted by someone friendly who is more than happy to help! We will schedule your free estimate around your schedule. This can be early mornings, evenings, and even weekends if that works best for you.
What to expect at your estimate
No speed cleaning or nervousness needed on our behalf. We are kid, pet, and clutter friendly. We get it. Really. Owner of Burkhard Direct Windows and Doors, Rob, will arrive at your home at the scheduled day and time. He will have some samples with him to help educate you on the different features and benefits of various windows.
He will spend some time looking at your windows, measuring them, assessing for any signs of water damage, possibility of lead-based paint or mold, and then chat with you further. High pressure sales techniques or scare tactics or down right lying is not things we do. We simply offer you professional advice and honest opinions on what is going to be best for your budget, not our pockets.
A typical Burkhard Direct Windows Estimate Appointment
- Rob knocks on your door and greet you in a friendly way. He will have samples and a binder with him, quite possible coffee also (sorry).
- Rob will chat with you to learn your needs, any special concerns or problem solving needed, budgeting, and so forth.
- Rob will show you some of the features on newer windows that older ones do not have and which features are important to have versus features that you could go without if not in the budget.
- Rob will then take a look at your windows and measure
- Before leaving, Rob can generally give you a pretty good estimate on average sized windows, with no hidden fees or confusing fine print. But special windows will take a few days to get back to you with a final price on.
- Rob will give you a copy of the estimate and thank you for your time. If he has any special windows to price for you, he will reach out within a few days
What’s Next- Let’s get the ball rolling
When you decide to invest in new windows for your home with Burkhard Direct Windows you can expect the following:
1. Making it official
Let’s get the paperwork out of the way first! Our contract is clear and easy to read and protects both of us. We will go over it together.
2. Getting your windows ordered
Next up we collect your payment for the cost of your windows and materials then place the order. Generally, custom window orders are ready in about 4-6 weeks.
We will reach out a few times while we’re waiting just to check in and see if you have any questions.
Once we receive notification that your custom windows are ready, we will reach back out and schedule installation to start on a day that works for you. You should never give anyone working on your home payment for labor they have not completed yet.
3. Installing your new windows
The big day! Our crew of 2-4 skilled installers will arrive with Rob in the morning at a time you chose. Each person will be clean, friendly, professional, and work under the instruction of Rob.
Firstly, drop cloths will be placed to protect your home during the process. If your project exceeds one day, cleanup will be done at the end of each day before the crew leaves. Rob will update you and see if there’s questions before leaving as well.
Upon completion, Rob will do a final walk through your home with you and ensure you are happy with the windows and our service overall.
At this point, a final payment will be given for the labor portion of the project. Rob will leave you with a little thank you gift from us, as we truly appreciate each and every one of our customers.
The ONLY Caulk we use
The caulking we prefer to use is made by OSI Quad Max unless supply chain issues prevent it. It has very low VOC’s with little odor. It is a class 50 caulk which means that it will handle expansion and contraction at twice the rate of normal caulking. It is very expensive, but it ensures the best quality seal that can be done. This is one area that other companies try to save money on – but not us. It is very easy to use $3 – $4 for tube caulking because the homeowner is looking at the windows not usually the caulking. It is a place for other contractors to hide savings.

Affordable Prices
We might not be the least expensive option you have upfront, but we are the option that will save you more money in the long run due to our superior products. We think BOGO window deals are a joke and so should you. We give honest, upfront pricing with NO hidden costs or fees. We work WITH not AGAINST our customers to find the best fit for your home and budget.
Quality Craftsmanship
Your windows are made custom for you, with the features you choose. We do NOT offer the cheapest windows. We stay away from the basic standard window and door products because they are a lesser product that will not serve our customers well. We also only use the BEST caulk available. It costs a little more, but has a lifetime guarantee. Windows are only as good as the installer and caulk used also!
Honest Service
We believe in being honest. Period.
Burkhard Direct Windows and Doors takes pride in doing what is best for YOUR needs – not what is best for our wallet. During your free consultation, we will guide you through all your options for windows and door replacement solutions. We do NOT use subcontractors like the bigger companies. Our owner, Rob, is on every job.
Burkhard Windows did an amazing job replacing all of the windows in our home as well as two new sliding doors and windows for our three-season room. We had collected estimates from 4 companies. Rob was friendly, explained the different features of new windows and which ones were worth are money and which ones we could forgo to stay in budget without sacrificing quality.
