Choosing an ill-fitting window replacement could risk the comfort of your home. Furthermore, this could jeopardize the sealing and weatherstripping of the window, resulting in leaks or water damage. Here are three more things to avoid according to your Connecticut replacement windows expert, Renewal by Andersen®:

1. Purchasing off-the-shelf windows. When getting a window replacement, refrain from buying off-the-shelf windows. What you can do instead is turn to a custom window manufacturer, such as Renewal by Andersen. Here, we take care of your window needs from start to finish. We’ll make sure to get the accurate measurements of your window and then manufacture them according to the precise needs of your home. For a perfect fit, have your windows custom-made by a reliable company.

2. Failing to check the features and benefits. Don’t just pick any type of window replacement. Make it a habit to research on the brand and the material. Quality replacement windows in CT are durable, long-lasting, and versatile. After all, they come in a variety of color selections and finishes that can match your exterior design.

3. Installing the windows on your own. Lastly, keep away from DIY. You might think you’re adept at DIY jobs, but a window replacement is a different matter. First, if you fail to install the windows properly, you could lose the warranty that comes with the product. Secondly, you most likely don’t have the tools and equipment to make the installation possible. The advantage of hiring a professional installer is they work efficiently. They are also skilled and trained for this kind of work.
