This report details windows contractor views on residential windows and emerging windows technologies, including high-efficiency products like triple-pane windows. This report represents two research efforts: a survey of 39 residential windows contractors in MN and 10 semi-structured interviews with previous survey respondents. This effort largely represents the views of contractors at smaller companies who primarily worked on retrofit or replacement projects.

The data-driven insights provided in this report serve to benchmark current perceptions of high-efficiency window technologies, identify barriers and opportunities to expanding their market presence, and track key market progress indicators for the Wise Window Hub. This report provides strategic insight and information on contractor awareness and perceptions, sales insights, thoughts on customer perceptions, business challenges, and resource and training needs.
