Finding Single Pane Windows Installers and Contractors for your Home

Many window contractors with single pane experience specialize in working on older homes. In many cases they may restore the window frame and install new glass on site, or they may have a new frame made if the old frame is beyond salvation. A few tips for finding single pane windows installers and contractors for the windows in your home:

  1. Old Home Enthusiasts. Talk to friends with old homes to find out if they've used any single pane window installers successfully. Inquire with local preservation organizations.
  2. Reputation. Check online and with your local Better Business Bureau to see if any complaints have been lodged against the contractors you're considering.
  3. Licensing. You should always ensure contractors working on your home have proper licenses and insurance.
  4. References. When you've narrowed your search down, check the installers' references. Talk to previous customers to find out if they're satisfied with the work done on their single pane windows
  5. Contract. Always insist on a contract when having work done on your home spelling out costs, payment terms, and completion date

Following these tips should help you find a reputable contractor who's able to install or restore the single pane windows in your old home.
