Vinyl Window Installers and Contractors

October 18, 2010

When choosing the best vinyl windows for your home, one of the most important considerations should be the skills of the person installing them. A reputable contractor who has a long history of experience with vinyl windows should be at the top of the pack when it's time to hire.

Vinyl Windows Installers and Contractors Checklist

When you're ready to find the perfect installer for your vinyl windows, remember these points:

  • Get at least three estimates. Look over the estimates and compare them, but don't make the mistake of thinking that a higher estimate means higher quality. Many larger companies might charge more than the "little guys" because they have more salaries to pay. The windows themselves could be of the same quality across all the estimates.
  • Ask about the manufacturer. A lifetime warranty means nothing if a window company goes out of business in five years. When you receive your estimate ask which manufacturer will be providing the windows. Stick with names you know and trust. Pella, Marvin, and Anderson are a few examples of window companies with longevity to their credit.
  • Check out the license and insurance. Most reputable vinyl window installers and contractors are licensed. Look at their insurance as well. The last thing you want is a worker injured while working on your job and then filing a claim against you.

Vinyl window installers and contractors should have a long history of dealing with the vinyl windows you want to see in your home. Many companies promise quality work, but look into their past to make certain they deliver on the guarantees they make.
