Getting your window secured and installed correctly is extremely important when choosing a company to do it for you.
Any mistakes when installing can lead to weather elements like moisture, air, or insects getting inside, which can cause many issues, including raising your heating/cooling bills.
With so many window companies out there, it can be hard to track down the right one that gives you the best installation for a reasonable price and makes you feel secure about the windows you choose.
Read on to learn about a few tips you should look at when selecting your window installation company.
Price
It might be easy to select the first good price you see, but knowing what comes included in that installation price is key to understanding what kind of service you will get.
You get what you pay for, and that isn’t only about the style of the windows you choose. Having highly trained and skilled installers with years of experience is something you expect when you get your windows installed, so no mistakes happen.
Alongside the installers, the windows you choose should have the latest and up-to-date standards in glass technology.
Look for the following when you are getting ready to select your windows:
- Energy Star Rated Symbol
- Lo-E 190 Double Strength Glass with Argon Gas
- Triple Weather-Stripping To Reduce the Risk of Air or Water Infiltration
- Intercept® ULTRA Warm-Edge Spacers
All of these combine to be the peak of window glass technology. However, while selecting a window without these features might net you a lower price, in the long run, you can run into many problems that can cost you more money down the line to fix issues with the window.
Warranty
Like anything installed onto a building, the outdoors are unpredictable, and issues can pop up down the road after the install.
You need an installation company that puts the customer first by offering a high-end warranty for replacement windows. The minimum a window that is being freshly installed should be covered for is 5-10 years, but the best window companies back their windows with a lifetime guarantee.
The added benefit of a lifetime guarantee is that if you are installing windows into a property you own, you can increase the property’s value if the lifetime warranty is transferable. That means when you are ready to sell; your potential buyers won’t have to worry about replacing windows in case of seal or hardware failure.
Selection & Style
Everyone will have a different idea of what windows look good on the outside and inside during an installation.
A good installation company offers a wide selection of styles and designs. Not only does the esthetics of the window matter, but many different homes and buildings were designed with older-style windows.
Your installation company can help you select an updated style that will work with your pre-existing window space.
With many different types of windows out there, look for companies that offer the most popular designs, including:
- BAY & BOW WINDOWS — An excellent choice to increase space and natural sunlight
- CASEMENT WINDOWS — Popular with vertically-shaped window openings; make a perfect choice for hard-to-reach areas
- AWNING WINDOWS — Like casement windows these open with a crank but pivot upwards from the bottom instead.
- DOUBLE HUNG WINDOWS — Ideal for homeowners who have AC units in their windows; these windows are the perfect shape for a safe, secure, and reliable fit
- SINGLE HUNG WINDOWS — With a single lock, these windows have a lower risk of damage or failure, making them energy-efficient
- SINGLE SLIDER WINDOWS — Without the use of springs, cranks, or pulleys, they have less risk for hardware failure, making them easier to maintain
These tips are what you need to look for when searching for the best window installation company.
