When you get replacement windows in Los Gatos, CA, it should be a positive process that leads to a positive ending. But there are things you can do, as the homeowner and the person in charge of making the decisions, that can make the process rather negative or even ugly in the end. You want to avoid that at all costs. Here are some of the things you could do to change the positive process into something quite negative.
Speed Through The Decisions
You might think you know what you want and what you can afford so you simply point and click and get the decisions lined up quickly. There. That’s done. Now you can move on. But it’s quite possible you’ve made one or more huge mistakes in the choice because you simply didn’t take your time with the process. Once the windows are ordered and installed, you might realize that you hate the color you chose, or the style is all wrong for your house, and so on. It’s too late. They were your decisions, but the whole project is a huge negative now. You can rectify this by making decisions at a slow and steady pace. Take your time so once you reach a decision, you are confident that it’s the right one and that you won’t have regrets.
Hiring A Non-Professional Installer
You are free to choose an installer and that means you could install the windows yourself, hire a neighbor, or even some teenage kids to do it. But that can change the perfect windows into a huge, negative disaster. The first thing you do when you hire someone other than a professional to install your windows is void the manufacturer’s warranty. So if something goes wrong right away or down the road, you don’t have that to fall back on. The second thing you do is endanger yourself or someone else. You would be liable for any injuries that occur since whoever is doing the install wouldn’t have insurance to cover them on your property. And the third thing you do is give yourself a big unknown result. The windows might work fine, but more likely, they won’t perform as promised because of the lack of knowledge on the installer’s part. The installer won’t take responsibility for that—you have to. It turns the project from something you were looking forward to into a huge negative.
