Essential Questions to Ask a Window Replacement Contractor

When installed correctly, new windows will significantly increase your home’s curb appeal and comfort. Energy-efficient units can also help lower your carbon footprint by reducing the need for heating and cooling. Whether you’re planning a double-hung or casement window replacement project, you must hire an experienced installer. 

Here are questions to ask your prospective window replacement contractor. 

Are You Properly Licensed and Insured?

Licensing requirements vary by state, so you must do your research. A licensed contractor can offer protection in case something goes wrong with your project. It’s the same for insurance, which covers liability, worker’s compensation and property damage. 

Can You Provide a Detailed Estimate?

A detailed estimate will allow you to see the predicted cost of your project as well as prepare for it. The quote may include the price of home replacement windows, materials, labor, and cleanup if applicable. Obtaining estimates shouldn’t be an issue with reputable contractors. 

What Kind of Warranty Do You Offer?

New windows are significant investments, so you’d want to make sure they are protected with strong warranties. At Renewal by Andersen® of Rapid City, our windows come some of the strongest warranties in the industry. Our units are backed with a 20-year limited warranty for glass, two-year limited warranty on installation, and 10-year limited warranty for non-glass components. 

How Long Will the Installation Take?

Specialized windows can take time to be delivered, which can extend the length of your project. It would help to know when your windows will be shipped, especially when the season is changing. Also, with a clear timeline, you’ll know the progress of your project.
