Labor Coverage

If you select high-quality windows, you won’t likely experience any installation problems during their lifespan. Finding a warranty with good coverage is still crucial, however. A decent guarantee must cover labor and installation, even if it differs from one window product to another. This addresses unforeseen problems that might arise following installation and might cover the installation from a few months to several years later.

Product Warranty

The product warranty covers replacement window components that are required due to manufacturer defects. It typically comprises warpage, faulty hardware, and failing glass seals in an insulated glass unit. A few producers provide accidental glass breakage. Most times, labor costs associated with replacing parts are not covered by product warranties. Your home window replacement provider should handle the installation if they provide the service.

If you’re considering selling your house in the future, consider if the product warranty is transferable. You’ll be able to assign the warranty to subsequent property owners. Prorated refers to a warranty whose coverage is reduced over time. You would want a transferable, non-prorated warranty.

Our Warranty – One of the Best in the Industry

Professional Results

The term “professional,” in terms of workmanship, is synonymous with quality. If you only need one reason why you should have your windows replaced by professionals, this is it. Window replacement is an intricate process that requires skills that can only be obtained through hands-on training, not through watching online videos. These skills also give professionals the ability to make sure that small yet crucial details, like proper alignment and caulk application, are done correctly.

Access to Better Products

Taking the DIY route means you’re limited to off-the-shelf replacements or online orders that may or may get damaged during shipping or not matching what was described. On the other hand, professionals have access to exclusive products, and, in our case, custom replacement windows. This gives you more control over every aspect of the window: shape, style, size, and finishes.

Zero Safety Risks

DIY window installment can be dangerous if you need to replace upper-story windows. In fact, anything that involves climbing exterior walls presents this risk. Fortunately, professionals like us have safety training and equipment that helps eliminate such risks.

Savings on Installation Cost

It may sound counterintuitive since savings are supposed to be one of the pros of DIY installation. However, if you don’t usually do your own home improvement projects, you will need to purchase additional equipment, such as caulk gun, power drill and spirit level, as well as safety gear. There’s also the matter of installation mistakes: you will have to cover the cost of corrections out of your own pocket. Comparatively, professional window installers have all the tools and equipment needed for the job and have the workmanship warranty in case of installation mistakes.
