Replacing your windows is a big move. It’s an investment that requires mindful effort, and of course, money. Other than enhancing your home’s curb appeal, new windows also protect you and your home’s interior from the elements. 

Your windows are one of the most important features of your home. Therefore, hiring professional windows and doors companies to handle the replacement saves you a lot of headaches, and guarantees the durability of your windows in the long run. 

Thinking about how to choose a competent one out of the long list of windows and doors companies available out there? Here are tips to guide you.

Ask Around for Recommendations

If any of your friends, family, neighbors had installed replacement windows in their home recently, you may ask them for recommendations and reviews. The aim of this interview and inquiry should be to get relevant information about the window replacement contractor that a family member, friend, or neighbor had previously used. You should ask questions like:

“Were you satisfied with the window products your contractor used for your project?”

“Were their prices affordable?”

“Would you say they were competent and punctual for the installation?”

“Were you impressed with the final look of your windows when they were finished?”

“Is there anything you didn’t like about how the contractor handled your project?”

At the end of the inquiries, you should be convinced about which of those windows and doors companies to call to install windows for you. 

Check Online Reviews

If you don’t know anyone around who recently had new windows installed in their home, another great option is through online reviews. The easiest way to go is to Google keywords such as “windows and doors companies” or “windows and doors companies near me”, and carefully go through the search results. There are also websites like LinkedIn, Facebook and Angie’s List where you can get access to a long list of window contractors in your location and reviews. 

Check Out Windows Companies’ Websites

After you’ve gone through online reviews for windows and doors companies near you, don’t forget to also check out their websites. A professional window contractor should have a user-friendly website in a place where you can learn more about the types of window installation services they offer, the portfolio of past projects and the experience they have with windows, the areas they serve, and their business contact.

Windows and doors companies without up-to-date business websites are a huge red flag and that’s a telltale sign that they don’t take their business as seriously as they should.
