Window Installation
New Windows won't work right if they're not installed right.
Because the new vinyl replacement windows you buy should be measured to fit, built and installed to your desires and needs, big retailers cannot carry these items in stock, and special orders are not what they're best at. Find a window installer in your area
Today's technologically superior performance enhancing innovation and testing of window products, leaves little doubt of the quality and value of the majority of residential window and door.
Of equal importance, the installation of the product in a new or existing opening completes the window transaction. Proper installation is at least equal in importance to any other facet in the ultimate satisfaction of the homeowner.
Replacement Windows are only half the system; Installation is the other half.
Window and door products have become more sophisticated, and have become, in effect, precision appliances - able to separate and control the interior environment independent from the outside environment; while being able to operate reliably for long periods of time. And, most Vinyl Replacement Window companies make a quality product that will perform consistently.
Over 90% of Replacement Window problems are the result of poor, or incomplete installation
National statistics prove year after year that, when properly installed, windows will perform up to specifications for longer than the warranted life of the window itself. Excessive condensation, air leaks, heat loss, warped or out-of-square windows are the result of faulty installation - not faulty manufacture. Unfortunately, these problems won't usually show up until months after the installation. And worse, they are not covered by the manufacturer's window warranty.
