How To Choose a Window Company
For a successful window replacement, you need to find an installer with proven expertise. Below, we outline the most important considerations when picking a window installer.
Experience
Look for an established local window company with a proven track record of success installing all window types. Seasoned providers are more likely to understand Cuba's climate and will know how to meet your needs. To confirm a company deliver quality work, request references from recent customers.
Certifications
Choose an installer that’s accredited like leading window companies, and that has Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance (formerly AAMA) certification. Appropriate accreditation means they've received suitable education in installation best practices. Make sure installers are staff, not subcontracted laborers, and confirm that any technicians working on your home have certification.
Reputation
Spend time reviewing online feedback, checking the Better Business Bureau, and requesting local references. Review customer feedback to confirm that a company regularly provides good workmanship and customer service. Avoid companies with complaints of poor work or unfinished jobs.
Process
The best company will take time to provide you with a comprehensive project plan, timeline, expectations, and reviews of all material and installation options. Beware of unclear quotes or timelines that don't provide enough specifics upfront. Look for consistent communication throughout the process to avoid surprises later on.
Warranties
Look for window installers that back their installations with guarantees, and that provide warranties on products and labor. This demonstrates faith in their work. Also look for unlimited lifetime warranties that can be transferred to new homeowners.
Materials
Verify that your window installer works with trusted, long-lasting brands, offers power-saving window options, and fits your budget. Look for window options with enhanced UV protection, design flexibility, and good energy ratings, and check whether the materials include their own manufacturer warranties.
