- A chilly house and high energy bills from poor insulation.
- Outdated and inefficient window styles that take away from your house's curb appeal.
- Fogging between window panes, condensation issues, or rotting window frames that let in moisture.
- Drafts and cold air leaking in through old, loose-fitting windows.
How To Choose a Window Company
For a successful window replacement, you want to locate an installer with proven expertise. Below, we cover the most important criteria for picking a window installer.
Experience
Look for well-established local companies with many years, ideally decades, of experience successfully installing all types of windows. These providers are more likely to have a deep knowledge of Eugene's climate and local homeowner needs. Ask for references from recent clients to verify quality and experience.
Certifications
Choose an installer that’s certified like major window manufacturers, and that has Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance (formerly AAMA) certification. Appropriate accreditation means they've received proper training in installation best practices. Make sure installers are staff, not subcontracted laborers, and confirm that the technicians assigned to your job have certification.
Reputation
Take time to read online reviews, check the Better Business Bureau (BBB), and ask for local references. Review customer feedback to confirm that the company consistently delivers good workmanship and service. Steer clear of companies with complaints of shoddy or unfinished work.
Process
The most experienced window installers will supply a comprehensive project plan and schedule, clear expectations, and an overview of all material and installation options. Avoid companies that offer ill-defined quotes or timelines that don't provide specifics upfront. Look for ongoing contact throughout the process to avoid surprises later on.
Warranties
Research window firms that provide guarantees on their work, and that offer warranties on materials 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 provider works with trusted, long-lasting brands, offers power-saving window options, and fits your budget. Look for window options with enhanced UV protection, good energy ratings, and design flexibility, and check whether the materials come with their own manufacturer warranties.
