‘Tis the season to make home improvements! As the weather warms up, so does the Nesting Bug! Right now is the time of year everyone is looking to make improvements to their homes!
That said, are you looking for window contractors in Mountain View, CA? For decades, The Screen Shop has provided unmatched window and screen installation and replacement throughout the San Jose area.
If and when you do decide to replace your home windows, you are likely to find yourself focusing on style and brand. Though, the company you choose to install the windows (of the style and brand you want most) is just as important. After all, great windows can only be great if they are installed properly.
To ensure that your window replacement project goes as planned, be sure to ask prospective companies the following 4 questions:
- Are you licensed AND insured?
Hiring an unlicensed window installer may save you money, but it can not guarantee your windows are installed correctly and with the latest safety measures. Professional installers are required to receive licensure from the state to remain up-to-date on best practices. Further, licensed and insured professionals (like ours here at The Screen Shop) provide you with services that can’t negatively affect you. In the event one of the professional crews members is injured on your property, the company’s insurance handles the claim—not yours. - How long have you been in the window installation business?
Brand new companies may very well be trustworthy, but do you want your home to be their maiden project? Probably not. You will feel much more confident choosing a company with decades of experience (like we have here at The Screen Shop). Longevity translates to extensive experience and consistency in customer satisfaction. - What brands do you carry?
Learn the name brands that are associated with quality nation-wide, and then find out if your prospective companies offer them. When you have a good selection of well-regarded brands from which to choose, you can’t go wrong. - Do you provide warranties?
In the rare event that you detect a window defect or require service, a warranty will help you tremendously. Don’t assume all professional window installers offer warranties! And, don’t assume all warranties are the same across the board. Ask. Be specific. Find out what types of warranties are provided by the manufacturers and what type of warranty the installation company offers for their work.
These four questions should keep you on the right path to choosing a reputable, professional window contractor. And if you live here in the San Jose area, our experts would love to meet you!
