Your Guide to Hiring the Correct Window Contractor

A home window replacement project is a significant, yet worthy investment for homeowners. With that in mind, you’ll want your replacement project to run as smoothly as possible. After all, the slightest mistake can cost you a lot of money just to rectify the problem, and this is something that you’ll want to avoid at all cost. Thankfully, by hiring the right person for the job, you can avoid any costly window installation mistakes.

Here is your guide to hiring the right window contractor for your project.

Vet Your Contractors

When you’re looking for the right contractors to install your new windows, it’s highly recommended that you vet them before signing a contract. To accomplish this, make sure that you request a quote from three to four contractors around your area, and check the internet for any reviews from their previous clients. That way, you can determine if they really are as trustworthy and reliable as they claim to be.

Meet Them, and Look for Red Flags

Once you’ve vetted your potential window replacement service providers, meet them one by one, and look for any red flags that indicate that you should part ways with their company. These red flags often include lack of proof of insurance, refusal to give a fixed price, requesting the entire project cost upfront or pressure to sign the contract immediately.

Prepare for Your Final Contractor Meeting

Finally, before the project commences, set a date and time to meet with your chosen contractor. At this stage, you should reconfirm your initial quote, agree upon your payment plan and obtain a paper trail of your contract, project plans, order changes, bills and invoices, proof of insurance and contractor correspondence. Once you have these, you can now start having your windows replaced.

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."
