When To Replace Windows
Installing new energy-efficient windows can substantially boost your home's appearance, comfort, value, noise reduction, and insulation. Some clear indicators it's time for new windows include the following:
- Cold air and drafts leaking in through old, loose-fitting windows.
- High energy bills and a chilly house due to poor window insulation.
- Outdated and inefficient window styles that take away from your house's curb appeal.
- Windows that are difficult to close, open, or lock properly due to age and wear.
- Condensation issues, fogging between window panes, or rotting window frames that allow moisture intrusion into the home.
How To Choose a Window Company
Hiring a qualified window installer is critical to a successful project. Below, we cover the main factors to consider when deciding which company to hire.
Experience
Look for an established local window company with many years or decades of success installing all window types. Seasoned providers are more likely to understand Macedonia's climate and will know how to meet your needs. To verify a provider's reputation, request references from recent customers.
Certifications
Choose companies that have certifications from major window brands, and that have Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance (formerly AAMA) certification. Being certified indicates that they've gotten suitable training in installation best practices. Make sure installers are staff, not subcontractors, and confirm the technicians doing your job are certified.
Reputation
Spend time reading through online reviews, checking the Better Business Bureau (BBB), and requesting local references. Review customer feedback to make sure that the company delivers consistent quality workmanship and great service. Avoid companies with complaints of shoddy work or unfinished jobs.
Process
A quality provider will give you a detailed project plan, reasonable timeline, clear expectations, and an overview of all material and installation options. Avoid providers that offer unclear quotes or timelines. Insist on consistent contact throughout the process, so you aren't caught off guard once the work begins.
Warranties
Research window installers that offer assurances on their installations, and that offer warranties on products and labor. This shows confidence in their work. Also seek out unlimited lifetime warranties that can be transferred to new homeowners.
Materials
Make sure your window installer offers windows that are built to last and top energy-saving window brands within your budget. Look for good energy ratings, enhanced UV protection, and design flexibility. Check that the window materials also come with manufacturer warranties.
