I have ran into a bump in the road on my first rental property. I need 11 windows replaced. The window company is telling me they won’t have them installed until March (12 weeks) long wait time due to covid and holiday season. Does this wait time sound reasonable? Would I be better off getting some replacement windows from Home Depot to cut that wait time down? The longer wait time will add up in extra holding cost I did not expect to have. Any advice and input is greatly appreciated!
