Why do we charge for our measures?

Because our craftsmen are there to evaluate – not to sell.

We initially charge because these are EXPERT craftsmen whose time and experience have value. They are NOT salespeople. They get paid whether you buy a product from Meade’s or not. You will receive their guaranteed precise measurements and expert recommendations for your home via email soon after your visit.

Often, other companies will send employees only trained in sales or to read a tape measure to do the measurements. Unfortunately, without a trained eye on the existing opening, customers will often receive incorrect measurements, subtle problems will turn into big issues, or they purchase a product that will not fit properly. Most often, they will be given advice only to increase the sale, not what is best for the situation. And the employ of these outside sales staff usually increases the price of the product by 25%.

What to expect if you start with purchasing a Measure Only:

1. Meade’s will contact you within 2 business days of purchase to set up your measure appointment.

2. During the measure appointment, the expert will measure your opening, take pictures, and note any issues that might arise during install. They will make recommendations they deem necessary for Meade’s and the homeowner to consider when purchasing a new door or window.

3. Within 2 business days of your measure, you will be emailed your measurements and contacted by Meade’s to discuss options for your project.

4. Once you purchase an installation from Meade’s, your measure purchase is refunded.

5. Your product is ordered, built, installed, and guaranteed to fit!

What to expect if you purchased a Measure/Install package WITH your new product:

1. Even though you have purchased a new door/window to be ordered or built, Meade’s will pause the order until the measure is completed to guarantee a fit.

2. Meade’s will contact you within 2 business days of purchase to set up your measure appointment.

3. During the measure appointment, the expert will measure your opening, take pictures, specify handing, and note any issues that might arise during install.

4. Within 2 business days of your measure, you will be emailed your measurements and contacted by Meade’s to either confirm that the project is a go, or to offer other solutions found during the measure, i.e., replace with another product or a refund, if the window you purchased will not work with your opening.

5. Then your product is ordered and built, and stained (if this add-on has been purchased).

6. When the door is ready for install, Meade’s will reach out and schedule an installation date

7. The installation will include the following:

8. Delivery
