Your home’s windows aren’t simply for seeing out of. They keep it warm in the winter and cool in the summer. In addition, they prevent moisture that can eventually turn into mold from entering.
However, this is only true if they are in proper working order. If part of the original construction, these windows may be cracked to let drafts or rain in. In that case, they need to be replaced. And this might mean speaking to a number of window installation companies to find the right one.
To help, here are four things to consider when selecting the right window company:
- Their customer track record
You should be able to find customer rankings for these window installation companies at their web site, at a place like Yelp, or through the Better Business Bureau. If the company is unwilling to provide this information, that’s a red flag to look elsewhere.
- Estimates are free
Car dealerships and party venues don’t charge for customers to see their products. Neither should window installation companies. They know you’re shopping for the right one, so they need to provide as much material as possible without charge.
- Measurements are accurate
Measure twice, install once. Once approved, installers should come out to your property to get accurate measurements and check for potential issues. The windows should slide right in during installation instead of being pushed or shoved to fit or leaving large gaps behind.
- Top-line warranties and customer service
Both the windows and the installation must be warrantied against potential breaks or leaks. If they are, customer service should quickly respond with repair teams or new installations to ensure no further damage is done to the residence.
Overall, be patient and do your homework when searching for window installers.
