When To Replace Windows
Replacing your old windows with new energy-efficient ones can greatly boost your home's value, comfort, insulation, noise reduction, and appearance. Clear indicators it's time to invest in new windows include:
- Windows that are hard to open, close, or lock properly due to age and wear.
- High energy bills and a chilly house from poor window insulation.
- Inefficient and outdated window styles that reduce your house's curb appeal.
- Drafts and cold air leaking in from old, loose-fitting windows.
- Condensation issues, fogging between window panes, or rotting window frames letting in moisture.
How To Choose a Window Company
Selecting a window installer with the right qualifications helps ensure a smooth installation. We explain the most important considerations for choosing a qualified provider below.
Experience
Look for highly-regarded 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 Mission's climate and local homeowner needs. Ask for references from recent clients to confirm the quality of a company's work.
Certifications
Choose an installer that’s certified like leading window companies, and that has Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance (formerly AAMA) certification. Suitable credentials indicate they've received suitable education in installation best practices. Make sure installers are staff, not subcontracted laborers, and confirm that the technicians assigned to your job have certification.
Reputation
Read through online feedback from past clients, check the Better Business Bureau (BBB), and ask for local references. Review customer feedback to confirm that the company consistently provides quality work and good customer service. Avoid contractors that have complaints of shoddy work or unfinished jobs.
Process
The right company will take time to provide you with a detailed project plan, timeline, expectations, and reviews of all material and installation options. Beware of vague quotes or timelines that lack clear and specific information. Look for consistent communication throughout the process to avoid surprises down the road.
Warranties
Seek out window installers that offer assurances on their installations, and that offer warranties on materials and labor. This indicates faith in their work. Also look for unlimited lifetime warranties that can be transferred to new homeowners.
Materials
Ensure that a company installs durable, energy-efficient window brands that fit your budget. Look for good energy ratings, enhanced UV protection, and design flexibility. Confirm the window materials have their own manufacturer warranties as well.
