Tips to Help You Avoid Window Replacement Scams

A window replacement project is an important investment. As such, you’d want only the best high-quality windows, a reasonably priced installation and a partnership with a trustworthy windows installer. At Renewal by Andersen® of Southwest Missouri, we have years of industry experience and the commitment to providing top-notch customer service.

Not every company, however, has what it takes to ensure customer satisfaction. Preying on homeowners who don’t know any better, they either have manipulative sales tactics or take on the aggressive approach of asking for payment in advance, but then do shoddy work. In today’s post, we provide tips on how you can avoid window replacement scams.

Obtain Recommendations

Beware of contractors who contact you unsolicited. Even if you are offered a big discount or an incentive, don’t be swayed into hiring their services. The best way to select the right company for your project is to obtain recommendations from friends, neighbors or relatives.

Read Customer Reviews

Before you hire a contractor that offers energy-efficient windows, check its Better Business Bureau (BBB) profile. You’d be provided with the business details as well as reviews and customer reviews it has incurred.

Review Credentials

Check with your state if the contractor is licensed or registered. It should give you peace of mind knowing that you are dealing with a legitimate window replacement company. Again, steer clear of those that don’t have any licenses to operate.

Get Everything in Writing

Home improvement scammers often ask you to pay a substantial amount before work commences. Don’t agree to it; instead, ask them to put everything into writing, including the estimate and the work agreement. Begin your search anew if the contractor doesn’t provide you with anything.

As a BBB-accredited business, you can be sure Renewal by Andersen of Southwest Missouri will provide you excellent services. Call (417) 351-2801, or fill out our contact form to request a free in-home consultation.

Reviews

"Quality product, quality workmanship. Everyone I interacted with at Renewal by Andersen of SW Missouri had pride in their work from sales to financing to project oversight to installation. It must be a great company to work for because that shows in the professionalism of the staff. Best of all, they want happy customers and go out of their way to make sure that happens. Yes, I love my windows (but I knew I would--it's a great product). Friendly, helpful, easy financing, and yes--they pass costs on to the customer for this, but it meant that I was able to get the windows I wanted and needed for my creaky, lopsided old house. Couldn't be more pleased."

"The company representative who met with me initially was very direct, told me how the process would go, explained about why Anderson windows are of such good quality and how they stand by their products and their workmanship. My 3 windows arrived when they said they would, & the men who installed them were very professional, polite, & efficient. They showed me how the windows work and left the room as tidy as it was before they did the installation."

"We just had our windows done by Renewal. They kept us informed about the progress of manafucture & installed at the approximate date. Good qualtity & if you didn't know that there were screens on the windows you would think they were missing. Very clear view. Great in this hot weather, the house stays cool."
