    While cheap and fast DIY projects can be tempting, if you don't know enough about windows, you may end up exacerbating existing problems. Incorrect installation can lead to expensive issues such as broken seals, poor energy efficiency, and more. Additionally, installing windows on upper stories, or in other hard-to-reach places can be dangerous.

    Window contractors can make installing new or replacement windows significantly easier. This article will provide you with information to help you find the perfect contractor.

    Research Window Options Ahead of Time

    Many window contractors tend to specialize in only installing one style of window. As a result, having a good idea of what you're looking for ahead of time can significantly improve your overall experience during a window renovation project. To decide which windows are best for you home, check out HomeAdvancement's easy guides to the different types of styles, materials, glass, and more.

    What to Look for in Windows Contractors

    1. Shop Around

    After an initial meeting with window contractors for an evaluation of your installation and what it might entail, window contractors should offer you a bid on their price for project. A good bid will also include the different products and materials needed for the project, as well as labor costs and time estimates. Try to gather at least three bids on any venture before making a final decision. The more detailed window contractors' bids are, the better–detailed bids leads to less project issues resulting from miscommunications between you and your contractor.

    Additionally, consider asking your potential contractor a few simple interview questions:

    • Do they take on projects of your size?

    • Are they willing to provide financial references, from suppliers or banks?
    • Can they give you a list of previous clients?
    • How many other projects would they have going at the same time?

    2. Discuss Payment

    Besides discussing the work itself, it is also important that window contractors include their payment terms when offering you a bid for your project. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for potentially subpar window contractors to offer discounted bids and ask for full payment before beginning work. No matter how good a deal is offered, homeowners should never pay the full amount before starting the project.

    3. Secure Your Warranty

    Finally, homeowners should pay close attention to the warranty terms that their window contractors offer. While a typical warranty will cover your investment for approximately ten years with two years workmanship warranty, warranty coverages do tend to vary slightly depending on your window contractors.

    4. Check Their License

    Always be sure to verify your home contractor's license. You can do this by referring to your state's construction contractor website, or calling your state's contractor board office.

    Finding Window Contractors: As Important as the Windows Themselves

    Windows are a big investment, and this investment includes your initial payments as well the cost of your future energy bills. No matter what kind of window you may be installing, a clean and thorough installation is important to guaranteeing that you receive your money's worth.
