What is important to you when choosing a window contractor?
Are you interested in:
Low Price?
No two products or installation
methods are alike.
You must compare "apples" to "apples"
when comparison shopping. Low bids
often equate to poor product and/or
short cuts in installation quality. |
 |
Company Reputation?
How do they attract their business? Is
it through telemarketers?
Or junk mail? Or newspaper ad gimmicks? Or is it through customer
referrals? The best form of advertising.
Product Quality?
What brand of windows and doors do they
carry?
How long have they carried those brands?
Do they display them in their showroom?
Do they offer lifetime manufacturers warranties,
not pro-rated? |
 |
Professional Installation?
Do they "collapse" window frames and
"block frame" doors?
Or do they follow strict industry guidelines set forth by "AAMA"
(American Architectural Manufacturers Association).
Do You understand the different installation methods? Will they
respect your home and perform a clean job?
Local Office and Showroom?
Can you visit their place of business? Or
do they operate out
of the back of some pick-up truck with an "800" phone
number?
Do you have to make an appointment just to see their windows?
Service After the Sale?
How long have they been in business?
Under the same window company
name? Will they be there 5, 10, 15
years from now? Do they maintain
an office with open hours 5 days a
week? |
 |

in business under the same name?
