How To Choose a Window Company
For a successful window replacement, you need to locate an installation contractor with proven expertise. Below, we cover the most important considerations when selecting a window installer.
Experience
Look for reputable local companies with many years, ideally decades, of experience successfully installing all kinds of windows. These providers are more likely to have a deep knowledge of Glenwood Springs' climate and local homeowner needs. Ask for references from recent clients to confirm the quality of a company's work.
Certifications
Choose companies that have certifications from top window brands, and that have Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance (formerly AAMA) certification. Having certification shows they've gotten suitable training in installation best practices. Make sure installers are staff rather than subcontractors, and confirm the technicians doing your job are certified.
Reputation
Spend time reading through online reviews, checking the Better Business Bureau (BBB), and asking for local references. Review customer feedback to make sure that a company delivers consistent quality workmanship and great service. Avoid companies with complaints of shoddy or unfinished work.
Process
The best window installation providers will supply a detailed project plan and schedule, clear expectations, and an overview of material and installation options. Avoid companies that offer vague quotes or timelines that don't provide specifics upfront. Look for consistent contact throughout the process to avoid surprises later in the project.
Warranties
Seek out window firms that provide guarantees on their work, and that provide warranties on materials and labor. This demonstrates confidence in their work. Also look for unlimited lifetime warranties that can be transferred to new homeowners.
Materials
Make sure the window company offers durable, long-lasting window options and top energy-saving window brands that fit your budget. Look for enhanced UV protection, good energy ratings, and design flexibility. Check that the window materials also have manufacturer warranties.
