What to Look for in a Window Replacement Contractor

As a homeowner, you know that replacing the windows in your home eventually becomes a necessary investment. You want to make sure that you choose a window replacement contractor who will do the job right. Here are some things to look for when selecting a window contractor.

What to Look for in a Window Replacement Contractor

Experience and Training

When it comes to replacing the windows in your home, you want to make sure that you choose a contractor with experience and the proper training. Ask contractors how long they have been in business and how many window-replacement projects they have completed.

Licensing

Excellent window replacement contractors have experience and are licensed to do their work. Check your local government or home development association’s list of licensed window replacement contractors. You can also consult your HOA’s list of approved contractors.

Insurance

Another essential item to look for in a window replacement contractor is insurance. The contractor should have liability insurance and workers’ compensation insurance. This will protect you in case of any accidents or injuries during the project.

References

Ask your contractor for customer references from their previous projects. Talk to the references about the conduct, time management and result of working with your prospective contractor. That said, the contractor must provide you with a list of past clients who can attest to the contractor’s quality of work.

Certification

Many window manufacturers only trust contractors who they have certified to install their products. Working with a certified installation team gives you full warranty coverage for both materials and labor.
