4 Questions to Ask Your Window Contractor

Many home improvement projects are best left to the professionals, and window replacement is definitely one of them. Your contractor will not only replace or install your windows, but also make sure that your window openings, window seals and window frames are in good condition. This is why it’s important to hire a contractor who knows what they’re doing. Here are some questions to ask before hiring one.

4 Questions to Ask Your Window Contractor

1. “Are you licensed and insured?” Many states require window contractors to have a license before operating. This license assures you that they are qualified enough to do a good job installing your windows. Another need is insurance. Their insurance should include workers’ compensation and property damage insurance. Through these insurance, you will not be held liable in case of accidents on your property during the installation.

2. “How much time will my project take?” This generally depends on the number of windows that you want to replace. A window contractor will usually provide you with a clear timeline from ordering the windows that you have chosen to completed installation. However, it’s good to have a few days of adjustment in case accidents occur or the weather is inclement.

3. “Do you offer a warranty?” Make sure to get written details of your contractor’s warranty policy. This can help you later on in case problems arise due to a manufacturer’s defect or poor workmanship. Read through the warranty to know of the coverages and exclusions.

4. “What do I do if issues arise after installation?” At Renewal by Andersen® of San Francisco, we always make sure that you are satisfied with the window installation before we leave your home.
