Key Questions to Ask Window Replacement Contractors

Whether you’re getting double-hung, picture, or casement windows, you must hire a reputable contractor for the job. The look, longevity and efficiency of your new windows depend on the quality of their installation. Aside from research, asking the right questions can help you determine if you’ve found a qualified installer for your project.

Here are essential questions to ask your prospective window replacement contractor. 

 

Can You Show Proof of Your Insurance and License?

You should hire a licensed and insured residential window contractor for your project. It will give you peace of mind that the job is done correctly and up to code. Working with insured professionals will also protect you from liabilities if problems occur during construction. 

 

How Long Will It Take to Replace My Windows?

Ask your prospective contractor about their window replacement process. How long will it take them to do the job? The duration of your project highly depends on the size, style and number of windows you are getting. Having an idea about your project’s timeline will help you track its progress once construction has started. 

 

What Type of Warranty Do You Offer?

Window replacement can involve significant costs. You want comprehensive warranties to protect your investment. At Renewal by Andersen® of Sacramento, we offer a 20-year limited warranty for glass, a 10-year limited warranty for other components and a two-year limited warranty on installation. 

 

Can You Provide a Detailed Estimate? 

Dependable professionals will have no issue providing you with detailed estimates. The quote should state the price of materials and labor. Is cleanup included in the contractor’s service? If so, they should indicate its cost on the estimate.
