    Replacing Windows: General Contractor vs. Window Company

    Discarding your old, shabby windows and replacing them with new, energy-efficient units can remarkably transform the look and feel of your home. However, many homeowners are confused about whether they should hire a general contractor or a window installer to carry out the job. In this article, Renewal by Andersen® of Long Island, a company specializing in replacement windows and patio doors sheds light on the matter.

    Replacing Windows

    General Contractor vs. Window Installer

    The general contractor vs. window installer debate boils down to the level of expertise you need to accurately perform the work. Keep in mind that a window is only as good as its installation; even the most expensive and well-designed window on the market will fail if installed improperly.

    A window installation company is your best choice if you need to replace windows with one ones in the same size opening or seamlessly deal with the construction and design of custom windows. Not only do they have deep technician knowledge, they are also up-to-date with the latest windows and doors technology and industry trends that can help maintain a safe and comfortable home.

    How to Choose a Window Replacement Company

    Finding a reliable and efficient window company can be a bit overwhelming. To help ease the process, here are some of the key things to look for when comparing top window companies.

    1. Cost: The grade of materials and craftsmanship all factor into the cost of replacement windows. It is not a smart move to skimp on quality for the most affordable price. Think about how much money you will save on energy bills and maintenance costs in the long run.

    2. Certification: It is important to hire a licensed and certified window company to ensure a smooth-sailing job. This will also help you avoid scams and other fraudulent schemes.

    3. Warranty: Warranty is an important part of a good window replacement deal. A strong warranty can show that the manufacturer has confidence in the quality of their windows and is ready to rectify certain issues that will occur outside the normal wear and tear.
