How hard is it to find a window installer?

[artemis]

I'm in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne and have been trying to find someone to install new windows but no builder or installer wants the work! I have literally rang a dozen companies - too small a job or they will only take it if they can replace all the windows and doors at the same time..
I want 8 windows - the entire front - completed before moving on to the back of the house.
Surely it shouldn't be so hard to find someone to do this but unfortunately it has been..
Anyone know of a reliable builder that doesn't mind taking on a 2 day job??

Thanks

Try the window companies direct. We are in Qld, but these are the Victorian equivalents to who we use here.

Most will have there own fitters, or will be able to direct you to builders who work with them
