Door Replacement: Smart Tips to Hire a Qualified Contractor

Even if the task of replacing your patio doors doesn’t intimidate you, you should still leave the job to experts. In any home improvement, skipping professional service has costly consequences. You risk causing damage to your property, injuring yourself, and voiding the product’s warranty. Plus, workmanship errors are a huge possibility if you lack the expertise and experience to carry out the job.

To hire the most qualified contractor to replace your doors, Renewal by Andersen® of Atlanta shares the practical tips you must follow:

Find the Right Specialist

First, understand not all home improvement contractors are the same. Some are jacks-of-all-trades, while others are masters of one. Between an all-around professional and a specialist remodeler, choose the one who lives and breathes patio door replacement.

Know How Far Your Contractor Would Go

After singling out the right contractor for your project, know the responsibilities your prospect is willing to do. Some companies limit themselves to installation, relying the manufacturing on a third party. If you hire such a contractor, it could put you in a bind in case of product failure. Involving two companies in your project would make it hard for you to get your warranty honored. It’s not uncommon for manufacturers and installers to point fingers when something goes wrong. In the end, the homeowner is left holding the bag.

To avoid finding yourself in a tricky position, hire a company that does the manufacturing and installation of your replacement French doors.

Don’t Let Price Be the Deciding Factor

Keeping your project on budget is a mark of a smart consumer, but never decide based only on price. If you skimp on product quality or labor, you might just get what you pay for. Instead of saving money, you might spend more dollars on repairs, or worse, a premature replacement.

Trust Reputation

Do your due diligence to scrutinize the credentials of your prospects. See the brand your contractor represents, check if the installers are certified, and read reviews. It matters to work with a company that communicates with you well, but don’t be sold on personality alone.
